OH 3 - Aeon Labs Minimote not working via UBZ Z-wave stick

Hello,

Maybe any of you had and issue with Aeon Labs Minimote after moving from OH2.5 to 3?

Im trying to make it work but after im including it successfully with all values in place it does not sending scene numbers at all.

With OH2.5 was perfectly working with no issues configured as follow in Items:

Number MiniRemote "Channel [%d]" {channel="zwave:device:1d7f3dab43:node18:scene_number"}

I had rules created for changing values.

As always with a battery op z-wave device make sure you’ve actually woken it up over and over again, just to make sure, but there are several of us just discovering similar problems in other devices so this may be part of a larger pattern.

and

i have new symptoms, as i can see XML. But it still does not registering values of the scenes.
I was trying 100 of times to remove thing, rescan zwave and by waking up adding the devices.
from time to time xml is updated (new timestamp)

If the binding has produced the xml file then it should be able to communicate with the device at this point. Check the devices lifeline association group.

If that is not set to controller then the controller will not know that it is supposed to be processing the packet from the remote. Many of the devices that the binding has been having trouble adding recently wind up not having this association group properly set. But if you’ve reached the stage where there is an xml file then the binding should now be able to set the group and you should be good to go.

If there is an xml file it is possible that exact device identifier is not in the database. Posting the xml could help us check.

If it was working with his previous 2.5 installation, then that shouldn’t be the problem should it? Even with the minor updating issue recently, it’s not likely the database has regressed is it?

While it’s true that it can communicate, it does not mean that it can identify the device.

What version of 2.5 - it ran for a long time.

It’s not “likely”, but it does happen for a few reasons. Really though we’re just speculating - it would be MUCH easier to understand what is happening if logs or the XML, or the device properties or something like this was provided.

It was identified as: DSA03202 Minimote 4 button remote control
zwave:device:1d7f3dab43:node18

Im still fighting with logs as getting: Error executing command: Unable to set level for logger when changing to DEBUG

So it’s fully discovered, and communicating, and the device is in the database, so there’s no problem there. The device is reasonably simple from a definition perspective, so I’d suggest to get a debug log to see what is happening - hopefully it will show if something is being received. If not, then check the associations.

As much for my own learning as solving the original question, aren’t the device’s available association groups usually listed in the xml even if they don’t have any associations currently setup?

sorry for late reply, busy period

Im not able to win with an error:
log:set DEBUG org.openhab.binding.zwave
[Fatal Error] :1:1: Premature end of file.
Error executing command: Unable to set level for logger

any idea?
