Nodon Octan Remote in OH2

Add-ons Bindings

I’m having problems getting my Nodon Octan Remote to work in OH2. The device is detected ok, but I never get any updates. There are a couple of potential problems but I’m not sure where to go with them.

Firstly is the configuration - I’m unclear if I should have the scene type (param 3) set to 0 or 1 (“Central Scene” or “Scene Activiation”). I’ve tried both, but to no affect.
Secondly - I notice two entries in Paper UI for the Scene Number - both are the same, and both show the same linked item beneath. I wonder if this is related to the two scene types.
zwave:device:0e45b7b4:node6:scene_number linked to Nodon_Remote

Logs when I press a button on the remote show that something is happening, the
NODE 6: Transaction not completed: node address inconsistent. lastSent=6, incoming=255
looks suspicious but it’s only debug level and I do see this on other nodes sometimes too, so maybe a red herring?

but nothing appears in the event log and a rule I have with a simple log statement doesn’t get triggered.

Item definition:

Number Nodon_Remote "Remote"    {channel="zwave:device:0e45b7b4:node6:scene_number"}

Rule:

rule "turn hallway light on when nodon remote pressed"
when Item Nodon_Remote received update
then 
	logInfo("hallway", "Nodon remote update: " + Nodon_Remote.state);
end

Any ideas what to check or change with this? I know it worked in openhab1 many moons ago.

Many thanks
Toby

Anyone got any suggestions on how to diagnose this further please?

any solution?
i have the same problem with my NODON SOFT Remote CRC-3-6-0x…
in oh 1.8 the remote works perfect!

today i have excluded and included the switch from the network
a new thing was added then i have linked the scene_number channel and now it works

2017-01-12 18:38:55.802 [ItemStateChangedEvent     ] - NodOnSwitch_SceneNumber changed from NULL to 1.0
2017-01-12 18:39:11.239 [ItemStateChangedEvent     ] - NodOnSwitch_SceneNumber changed from 1.0 to 2.0
2017-01-12 18:39:17.901 [ItemStateChangedEvent     ] - NodOnSwitch_SceneNumber changed from 2.0 to 3.0
2017-01-12 18:39:23.675 [ItemStateChangedEvent     ] - NodOnSwitch_SceneNumber changed from 3.0 to 4.0

I finally got this working. It was perhaps overkill but I did the following:

  • Updated to latest unstable (snapshot) build using apt-get
  • Removed the remote via paperUI (deleted the Thing)
  • Shutdown openhab2
  • Removed the node xml file from /var/lib/openhab/zwave
  • Removed all references to the item from config files
  • Excluded the octan remote from the zwave network (quick press - 3 times with zstick in exclusion mode)
  • Factory reset the remote (long press bottom two buttons)
  • Re-Included the octan remote in gateway mode (hold top two buttons 1 sec with zstick in inclusion mode)
  • Restarted openhab2
  • Search for new things and added it via paper UI

I have config param 3 set to Central Scene, which is the default
The Item definition I setup in the config files:

Number Nodon_Remote "Remote"    {channel="zwave:device:0e45b7b4:node11:scene_number"}

and the rule:

rule "turn hallway light on when nodon remote pressed"
when Item Nodon_Remote received update
then 
	if (Nodon_Remote.state == 1.0 || Nodon_Remote.state == 1.1) {
		if (Hallway_Lamp.state == OFF) {
			sendCommand(Hallway_Lamp, ON)
		} else {
			sendCommand(Hallway_Lamp, OFF)
		}
	}	
end

Hope it might help someone in future!
