Revisiting getting a Cooper 5-button Scene Controller (RFWC5) working

@chris,

I wanted to take another stab at getting the Cooper scene controller working. I didn’t want to hijack this thread - https://community.openhab.org/t/my-struggle-with-zwave-heeeeelp/14113/1 but was wondering if there is anything that you’ve learned in working on this issue that we could apply to the Cooper?

If not, would it help if I could either pull any of the files from my Vera related to the Cooper and/or if I was going to reach out to Cooper’s tech support what specific information would we need to help?

I did run a test to see if the changes in June impacted it and had the same issues of being able to install but not register any scene changes. I didn’t run a full debug but these were the errors I did get:

Can you update the log with a debug version and I’ll take a look at the errors for starters.

Then you’d better remind me what the problem is (or point me to a previous thread) - sorry, but I end up working a lot on different devices and they all merge into one :wink:. If it’s just that the scenes aren’t processed, then we should be able to sort this.

For the specific thread you mention above, I don’t think there’s anything too relevant. There was a duplicate database entry (different devices with the same IDs), otherwise not too much wrong I think in the end.

Chris,

No worries, at all. Here is the original thread from this spring. At the time I had planned to try a 3rd party solution to configure the device but got sidetracked so never tried to go further - https://github.com/openhab/org.openhab.ui.habmin/issues/163

So I did an inclusion from my Aeron Zwave stick independent of Openhab, started up OH and turned on debug mode. I then tried to setup an association, a scene number item, and tried to test a manual button push. Here is a filtered down portion of the debug log showing all the Node 24 related lines. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B77VHtwPft8ecWZ5RDc4ZW11aHM

I tried to find the relates xml and json files from Vera. The xml I was able to download was empty, but here is the related json file in case that might help - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B77VHtwPft8eakdkYkxlUGZzZzQ

Let me know anything else I can pull and/or test to help move this forward.

I appreciate all the help.

@chris did you ever get a chance to take a look at these files? Thanks.

Sorry - I’ve been on the road all week (well, in the air for half of it!). I’ll take a look tomorrow…

No worries at all. As always appreciate the help!!

@chris Did you get a chance to take a look and see if these gave any useful info to figure out how to finish the configuration to get it working?

Thanks
