Hi there I followed the tips here but I still not able to use my fibaro dimmer 2 anymore. All devices came up properly after a few hours, but the dimmer are stayed unknown, after updating to 2.5.
Before (i think it was 2.2) everything was working smoothly and than I updated to 2.5, went though the update tutorial to get all zwave device back in, but it diddn´t worked for the dimmers.
I tried soft reset via UI and also unplug the device.
put the dimmer in inclusion mode,several reboots etc…
I´m running openhabian on Pi and now also updated to the latest snapshot (before I tryed stable).
My zwave usb stick is the ZMEEUZB1 which is directly conntected to the pi.
If you have any suggestion, I would be more than happy to use my lights again
Are you sure you deleted the “Thing” and readded it again? I only have one of the Fibaro Dimmer 2, but it is working without any problems in 2.5 snapshot.
After the update, none of my zwave device were going online, so I deleted all and uninstalled the zwave serial controller and reinstalled it again.
All other ZWave items came back and I needed to add them again.
All except the Dimmer. They still show unkown device.
From my understanding the “Thing” insn´t installed in oh yet, since it poping up in the inbox.
The dimmers are at a distance of about 3-10m from the zwave dongle without any walls in between. Other devices on other floors much further away are working without any problem. Even now after a week the devices are still on same state.^
I added node 18, maybe thats why it doesnt show up?
but the nodes 12, 22, 26 are sharing the same issue.
I also tried resetting one of the dimmer by holding the button for 3 secs without any difference…
Before the update everything worked perfectly, tomorrow I´ll try to downgrade? Current OH release isn´t usable for me at this stage.
I think I got it working now, but I can´t tell really what did the trick.
In Chrome I got often no response or hanging paper and habmin ui.
In Firefox I tried set device as failed, which gave me the massage that the device could not be found and now its showing the dimmer. Very weird thing but at least it´s working now
Hi! I am suffering the same fate. After updating a couple of days ago, some of my devices (especially the Fibaro switches, it appears) are turning up “Unknown device” in the Inbox, and when adding they appear Online - but no good.
Among other things - the logs says:
“Device discovery could not resolve to a thingType! Manufacturer data not known.”
My specs:
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3
OpenHAB 2.4.0-1 (Release build)
Aeotec Gen5 z-wave USB stick
One of the Fibaro devices in question is the Fibaro Single Switch 2 FGR213, I have noticed that these devices are frequently mentioned when it comes to “Unknown devices”.
For some reason there are several nodes 7,9 and 14,15 appearing as “Unknown devices”. But I just added 14 and 15 and left the others in the inbox. 14 and 15 are “Online” but of no use.
UPDATE: I added 7 and 9 also. 9 was recognised. Node 7 entered a state of “OFFLINE - COMMUNICATION_ERROR”. It is also strange having now three devices (7, 14, 15), as I only have two devices not communicating. Maybe 7 is some old stuff hanging around?
I’m having similar problems with a Leviton dimmer plug in switch. If I move it real close to the unit it seems to sync up. Enough to get the channels in OpenHAB. Then when I move it to it’s destination and heal it’s there, but eventually gives a communication error. Funny thing it is slow but still responds to commands. So not sure if it’s a distance thing or what. Just sharing other device types are having this issue as well. On the same OH version and using the latest snapshot as of yesterday.
As a side note, if I try and change the Command Poll Period from 1500 to like 3000 which some say helps the communication error, it won’t stay. Looks like I can only “select” 1500 or Disabled.
I ran into this issue now…
I dumped my old setup and installed a fresh openhab 2.5M1 the other day. I didnt exclude my devices from the dongle, ofcuse.
I used the 2.5M1 zwave binding from PaperUI, but on scanning, it finds my devices, but they´re all unknown…
A few minutes ago, I just updated the zwave binding to the latest snapshot… But again, my devices returns unknown on scanning…
Anyone have any idea why? I can seem to figure this one, though zwave has been running awesome for quite some time.
This is the binding I´m using now:
openhab> bundle:list -s |grep -i zwave
193 x Active x 80 x 2.5.0.201906131958 x org.openhab.binding.zwave
openhab>
Check your logs if you have a problem with the serial driver (Controller should also be offline in this case) or if you have a problem with this issue:
