Problem, adding new device STEINEL RS LED D2 to the z-wave database

anfaenger · December 15, 2017, 5:53pm

Hi all, I bought the STEINEL RS LED D2 indoor light.

Because it’s a unknown device I want to add it to the database.

Like I read in the database guide it is possible to create a device from a XML file.

But I can’t find a XML file.

I already started to create the device manually but I failed.

How can I get the XML file?

What node number is it showing up under? The node number would be included in the Thing ID.

anfaenger · December 15, 2017, 8:03pm

I added the device as node number 49.

In openhab.log I see:

    2017-12-14 16:25:04.095 [INFO ] [g.discovery.internal.PersistentInbox] - Added new thing 'zwave:device:4eb75bc3:node49' to inbox.

OK, I’m out of ideas but I know for sure chris will want logs from the zwave binding at a minimum.

Also, there is nothing sensitive about the third part of the Thing ID. That is just a random name that gets generated when you created the Serial device for the controller. I always rename mine to “dongle” so when I have to recreate the Serial Device for the controller I don’t have to change my Items with a new Thing ID.

I’d recommend putting your zwave binding into debug, maybe even saved to another file (search the forum and look at the docs), delete the Thing, and do a new scan for devices in the Inbox and accept the device again. If the node49.xml doesn’t appear, post the logs and ping chris for help.

anfaenger · December 15, 2017, 8:16pm

Very helpful, thank you. I’ve been clueless about if it is sensitive. I will try the “dongle” hint.

I’m just checking the logs.

anfaenger · December 15, 2017, 8:52pm

That did it. Now I can see the node49.xml file. Thanks a lot!

rlkoshak · December 15, 2017, 10:19pm

Fantastic! Glad it worked!

anfaenger · December 19, 2017, 3:28pm

Hello @chris ,
I added the new device STEINEL RS LED D2 to the database.
Would you please have a look.

chris · December 19, 2017, 6:15pm

Will do - I’m currently on holiday so I may not get the chance to do it before next week…

anfaenger · December 19, 2017, 6:21pm

Thank you for the info. Have a nice holiday.

Hi, I also have a Steinel device, but I fail to added it to my openhab. I have an aeontec usb stick.

In inbox is detected as as an unknown device.

Z-Wave Node 6 (0271:0001:1A74:0.48)
Unknown Device
zwave:device:36e5ac8e:node6

Checking the database I see is already an entry there for my ManufacturerId,ProductTypeId, ProductId .

The logs from the binding:

Any idea what I can do?

Hi Marius,

I think we have to wait for @chris

I created the database-entry and now chris has to release it.
Only then the status of the device can change from UNKNOWN DEVICE to STEINEL RS LED D2.
Hoping I’m right. Have never created a entry before.

Merry Christmas.

chris · December 27, 2017, 2:09pm

I’ve just arrived home and will try and do a database update tonight if jetlag doesn’t catch me first

anfaenger · December 27, 2017, 7:25pm

Can wait until tomorow.

Hope, you don’t have to deal with that. Good luck.
If so, maybe this is helpful: 7-ways-to-prevent-jet-lag

Hallo Everyone

I also get the STEINEL RS LED D2 and included it to my z-wave network, that worked fine.
Then i copied the Openhab 2 file from the RS LED D2 (thanks to @anfaenger for that) in to my zwave/node12.xml (first i deleted the old data which it generated automatically and paste the new xml data).
If i’m now going to the Paper UI the Device is still online but i cann’t see some defined channels.

does anyone have a idea what im doing wrong?

anfaenger · February 26, 2018, 6:33pm

Hello Minor,

I had the lamp included. But it always stayed in the status “unknown device”.
I ran out of time then. That’s why I could not keep working on it.
I could not test the lamp any further and do not use it in openhab yet.

That means the status of the device changed from “unknown” to “STEINEL RS LED D2” ?
Great to hear!

Sorry I’m a little bit confused. Why did you do that when it was already recognized as “STEINEL RS LED D2”? Couldn’t you define channels without doing that?

The change in the status of your lamp from “unknown” to “STEINEL RS LED D2” motivates me.
I will try again to include mine.

@marius_c1 What about you? Did you manage it?

anfaenger · February 26, 2018, 6:51pm

Hi Rich,

Changing ‘zwave:device:4eb75bc3:node49’ to ‘zwave:device:dongle:node49’,
this is really a good idea. It has also taken me a long time to rename my items.
But how did you do that? I couldn’t find a way to change the ThingID. Neither in PaperUI nor in HABmin.
Would you please show me how?

rlkoshak · February 26, 2018, 6:55pm

You have to rename the serial controller to “dongle” and then go through the Inbox to create the Things again. You cannot rename the Things through the UIs.

anfaenger · February 26, 2018, 7:02pm

I first renamed my controller and then included the devices.

Sorry, I think I have not understood something yet.

rlkoshak · February 26, 2018, 7:08pm

You only have the opportunity to change the name of the serial controller Thing when you first create it. So to change the name your have to

Delete all your existing zwave Things, including the controller.
Create the serial controller Thing, change the randomly created ID to something standard
Scan for new devices and accept the zwave nodes out of the inbox
Relink your Items to the channels on the newly created and accepted Things. If you are using .items file you just need to find and replace the old ID with the new one. If using PaperUI you need to relink the channels using PaperUI one by one.
