[SOLVED] Locks control in openhab2 using zwave

[Nidhi]

Hi,
Has anyone has any luck controlling a lock using openhab2 and zwave binding. Please share what lock and binding did you use.

Thanks

You must use the binding in the following thread -:

OH2 Z-Wave refactoring and testing... and SECURITY

The latest version of the development binding dated 8th Sep 2018 is here. Toward the end of last year I spent some time doing some initial refactoring of the ZWave binding in OH2. This focussed on rewriting the way transactions work as this is an enabler for other areas of the code. At the same time I also restructured the different layers of the binding to make things cleaner, and done some changes to support a system of autocoding the command classes directly from the Z-Wave standard which s…

Personally, I use the Yale Keyfree and it works very well.

Chris,
Using the July 19th build, I see the following error in log

I guess you’ve not securely included the device so these channels are not available.

Chris,
I installed everything again. But I still see
NODE 2: SECURITY_INC State=FAILED

in log.
How do I include the device securely. I used the paper UI to add the things and used the Habmin to create the items.

[chris (Chris Jackson)]

Really it’s hard to say what’s happening from one line - sorry. Inclusion should be done in the normal way - read the manual of your device and I would strongly recommend to use HABmin to do the inclusion. The device must be fully reset before starting the inclusion process - again - check the manual for secure inclusion.

[Nidhi]

Chris,
Here is the procedure I followed using the device manual.
Unplug the USB Z-stick controller from PC.
Put it in inclusion mode. Asked the Yale lock to join the network using the key sequence.
Plugged the USB Z-stick back to PC.
Using Paper UI added the Z-stick device. After the thing was added, the OpenHab automatically discovered the lock and I added it using paper UI.
Then I added the items and channels using HABMin UI.

Should I be not using the inclusion mode as specified by Z-stick. Should I be using HABMin. Int he HabMin menu, “Z-wave Network Viewer” is showing me three nodes (I also have a zwave plug in my network). But in the network, the node for lock has a pink outline in the circle, whereas for the zwave plug and zstick have blue outline circle.

What does this tell?
I can provide the whole log if that will be helpful.

[chris (Chris Jackson)]

What you are doing will certainly not work! You MUST use HABmin or at least PaperUI - the device MUST be included with the binding running since secure inclusion must happen within 15 seconds of the device being included and this is simply not possible with what you are doing.

Chris,
Thanks a lot for your help. I got it working using HabMin inclusion.
