[SOLVED] Two new Z-Wave devices added to database not showing/working

The one you added is using a dimmer channel. Is that what you want?

22

I’ve imported the XML generated after I added the device. I would think this would be a “blinds” channel not “dimmer”, but if this is what the XML had, I have to suppose this is the right one or am I missing something?

Also, the other parameters I’ve copied from the blinds device. Should I check them somewhere?

Not an area that I have studied deeply. However, I do know that sometimes the default channel from the OH generated XML is not the best. A quick look at a few blind devices; some have “dimmer”, but some have “blinds control”. Both have a percent property, but the “blinds_control” has a “stop/move” and “up/down” property also. I don’t have any of these devices, so cannot give a definitive answer, but IMO I think you could change to blinds_control without a problem. Another alternative would be to add a blinds_control channel to the multiswitch CC, but I don’t know if that might mess something up. The advantage of that would be that you could try either (once the device is approved) and see what works best for you.

This seems definitely like a good aproach and then fix the one that works best!

How could I do that though? :smiley:

In edit mode on that tab look for the add endpoint. Use the same command class as dimmer.

edit: oops that was from memory that must be failing. look for “New Channel” within the same CC

Awesome, just did it. Now it’s a matter of waiting! :slight_smile:

I know there is a place to download the snapshot sooner instead of waiting for OH updates. Do you know where is it?
