OpenHAB2 and ZWave switch/dimmer

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners
1

Hi there!

I recently started “investigating” home automation and openHAB.
I have a Raspberry Pi3 with the Razberry addon, openHAB2 snapshot installed and just 1 ZWave switch - for begin with.
Problem is, that even if the thing linked to the switch seems properly setup (it was discovered and created automatically), I am unable to turn it on, off or read the meter value…
I have to point out that, using z-way-server or openzwave-control-panel, the switch function normally.
So the problem seems to be with openHAB2 configuration…
The switch is node 2 in the zwave network and you can see the thing screenshot below:

items:

Switch Light_Switch "Light Switch" (LightSwitch) {channel="zwave:device:73ed5f0c:node2:switch_dimmer"} 
Number Light_Switch_Watts "Light switch power consumption [%.1f W]" (LightSwitch) {zwave="zwave:device:73ed5f0c:node2:meter_watts"}

in the sitemap I have:

Switch item= Light_Switch
Text item=Light_Switch_Watts

Well, as I said toggling the switch does nothing… Does not turn on the light…
Here are lines from openHAB log (I enabled DEBUG for zwave) and it seems that the message goes through the zwave network…
What should I try next?

As I said, the switch doesn’t turn on and of course no reading for the power meter…
From time to time I see some error though…

Hi,

I guess your item definition is the problem. The Switch should be defined like this

Switch Switch_Living "Schaltsteckdose [%s]" <switch> (Living, Switch) {zwave="2:command=switch_binary"}

The metering items should look like

Number Switch_Living_Watt "Leistung aktuell [%d W]" <poweroutlet> (Living, Switch) {zwave="2:command=meter,meter_scale=E_W"}
Number Switch_Living_KWh  "Energieverbrauch [%.3f KWh]" <poweroutlet> (Living, Switch) {zwave="2:command=meter,meter_scale=E_KWh"}

Cheers
Christian

Almost, but he is using openHAB2, so the textual definition is different.

Try

Switch Light_Switch "Light Switch" (LightSwitch) {channel="zwave:device:73ed5f0c:node2:switch_binary"} 
Number Light_Switch_Watts "Light switch power consumption [%.1f W]" (LightSwitch) {channel="zwave:device:73ed5f0c:node2:meter_watts"}
4

The config i posted is working for me with OH2

5

Okay … are you using the 1.x binding version of zwave?

6

NO, I use binding-zwave - 2.0.0.SNAPSHOT form the online snapshot distro

7

Allright. Then my previous understanding from how this all works together is screwed up now … :joy:

8

Sorry :blush:

9

From looking into the database that device supports multilevel, so another try could be:

Switch Light_Switch "Light Switch" (LightSwitch) {channel="zwave:device:73ed5f0c:node2:switch_multilevel"}

10

Thank guys for your prompt replies…
No luck with either definitions…
I put them all in my items file:

Group LightSwitch
Switch Light_Switch "Light Switch" (LightSwitch) {channel="zwave:device:73ed5f0c:node2:switch_binary"} 
Number Light_Switch_Watts "Light switch power consumption [%.1f W]" (LightSwitch) {channel="zwave:device:73ed5f0c:node2:meter_watts"}
Switch Switch_Living "Schaltsteckdose [%s]" <switch> (LightSwitch) {zwave="2:command=switch_binary"}
Number Switch_Living_Watt "Leistung aktuell [%d W]" <poweroutlet> (LightSwitch) {zwave="2:command=meter,meter_scale=E_W"}
Number Switch_Living_KWh  "Energieverbrauch [%.3f KWh]" <poweroutlet> (LightSwitch) {zwave="2:command=meter,meter_scale=E_KWh"}
 Switch Light_Switch2 "Light Switch2" (LightSwitch) {channel="zwave:device:73ed5f0c:node2:switch_multilevel"}

and sitemaps is simple:

Group item=LightSwitch

none of them works :grinning:
With the OH1 style binding is doesn’t send command through zwave network and for the others here is the log:

Unfortunately I have no idea what the problem is. Let’s what for Chris Jackson who is maintaining the binding. Probably he has a idea what to do.

12

Well… I sorted it… somehow…
Instead of running openHAB’s own zwave binding I installed Z-Way Binding and it’s working smoothly

13

OK, now I understand your problem.

It seems you installed Z-Way before and kept it running? I have a RaZberry as well and I first installed the Z-Way from z-wave.me. After that I had to terminate the Z-Way server, to have OH2 with the own z-wave binding working properly. Another try was to run the board without previous installation of Z-Way and this doesn’t work for me. So my current config is Z-Way installed and switched off and then Openhab installed with the “native” zwave binding. Your solution is new for me but if it works properly i will keep this in mind.

14

No, not at all.
z-way-server was disabled when I was running openhab with its z-wave binding.
Now, of course, they are running in parallel and I uninstalled openhab’s z-wave binding.
