Platform information: Hardware: VM OS: Ubuntu openHAB version: 2.4 with zwave binding 2.5 snapshot I don’t have any logs since this only happened a few times and the logs have been rotated but posting in case someone has experienced similar problems. I have the aeotec sensor in my bathroom and…

Oh well, need the logs Regarding the missing logs, is it possible to get openhab to log to a syslog server? I got this to work reasonably well, posting a few configuration snippets in case it can help someone else. In /etc/rsyslog.d/00-custom.conf on my log server: template (name="DynaFile" ty…

Aeotec support suggest a MOTION ON event was missed by OpenHAB which I guess would fit the symptoms. The same could be the case for the plug ending up in the wrong state, just the other way around, with OpenHAB sending MOTION OFF and the plug not receiving the signal. Any suggestions on how to make…

[image] plysdyret: This morning the coolcam plug was shown by a habpanel switch to be OFF even though it was ON I’m unfamiliar with these things - but I guess the plug reports its on/off state to openHAB? If you disable autoupdate for your OH Item, this will stop OH ‘helpfully’ changing the …

Ah, thanks for pointing me to the autoupdate setting. I’ve set that to false for the devices in question and will see if that sorts the plug. I tried toggling the plug on from HABPanel and as far as I can determine it does report the state: May 27 11:59:23 openhab zwave [DEBUG] [tocol.commandclass…

I think it only does the green thing if alarm_motion is OFF and it detects motion. They suggest the device is actually in the ON state and the ON event was dropped. I’ll check if it blinks in the ON state when I get home and if it does you are of course right. Mvh. Torkil

As said, I know nothing of these things. You have to send a command to the sensor to make the LED work?

[image] plysdyret: They suggest the device is actually in the ON state and the ON event was dropped. It is unlikely that the event is dropped by the binding - the most likely scenario, if you are sure that the device sent it, is that there is a communication issue and the message was not rece…

[image] plysdyret: I’ll check if it blinks in the ON state when I get home and if it does you are of course right. It only blinks when detecting motion the fist time, e.g. going OFF to ON, and then again when it de-triggers and goes OFF to ON. I’ve ordered a NESDR Mini 2+ ( Nooelec - Nooelec …
