I checked the log, and the motion sensor was discovered ok at 21:32. I don’t know when it was included, but this seems to be at the same time the first communications from the device is logged, so I think it looks ok…
The strange thing is that needed many more hours to be recognized, because an hour after the done, so after 2017-06-06 21:32:28.497 it was still not properly recognized but this morning it was.
Is that moment between the z-wave interrogation being done and the device being properly picked up normal?
Or did I maybe recover it by rebooting openHAB, I have a backup script running which does every night…
This might be the case. I know in the past that there was a bug where a restart was required as the ZWave binding has to change the thing type. This has been fixed in the development version but might still be an issue in the current snapshot…
I think it’s different as from what I can see the device has not communicated with the binding.
All the information that is displayed comes directly from the controller during the initial inclusion and not from the binding communicating with the device. For sure there is no manufacturer information received, and until this is received it’s definitely not going to discover the device and it will remain unknown.
There is information here on adding devices to the database. It’s not too hard and I prefer if people can spend the time to add devices - otherwise I would spend a lot of my time just adding devices to the database (there are over 600 devices - if I were to spend 1 hour on every device it would be impossible). I can help if there are problems of course .
If you haven’t woken them up, or at least if they haven’t completed initialisation, then they very likely won’t wake up as wakeup is normally disabled by default, and will be enabled and configured during the initialisation.
Ah - ok, if it was previously configured then it should wake at some stage. Normally it should be every hour, but I know some people like to use much longer…
@patrikpatrik2 this might be the solution, or wake it up a lot of time and monitor the logs or change wakeup interval through habmin and wake them up a few times to make sure they retrieve the shorter time interval.
I just succeeded in adding / initializing my water sensors :hooray:
