[SOLVED] Z-Wave devices remain unknown after update

Then I need some more advices… I simply cant get the stick to “read” the devices correctly…
@chris do you have any suggestions here?

No really - what is in the log?

Not really much I think. This is a debug log, few minutes old when I tried to scan the devices again:

It´s pretty strange in my opinion… I have done this before without any issue… But since I installed a fresh openhab 2.5M1 the other day, I simply havn´t been able to get zwave to work… It has always worked rock steady…

Still no suggestion, anyone?? I´m getting rather frustrated here.

this thread is 44 posts long and marked as solved so for anyone to help they would need to read which post to help with your issue?. Maybe start new thread?

I am having the same problem. I have 2.5M1.

Zwave devices wont discover - Many do - Some sit for days unresolved.

Thermostats can receive commands but I cant get any data from them.

I can send commands to switches but Openhab doesnt see their status at all.

The whole thing just works poorly.

I get a number of Request node info not placed on stack due to error. errors from time to time.

Have Rasperry PI, Openhabian. and lots of devices and will be adding more. It feels like I need to burn the whole thing down and start over. Saw answer about serial stuff, but I don’t know what to do.

The controller seems to know something about these devices. Example:
GENERIC_TYPE_THERMOSTAT

If it knows this much, why can’t it get the rest of the information. The whole thing seems very shaky.

Hey @chris,

My zWave (OH 2.4 with zWave binding snapshot 2.5 as of May 2019) has been working excellent all year but all of sudden (last week or so); I’m getting a ton of these entries now. I blew away all the zWave devices in Paper and re-discovered all of them and they are all back and online.

What am I missing?

Without more debug logging it’s hard to say for sure (and even debug logging is unlikely to confirm what I’m about to say). However, when I’ve seen these sort of errors in the past it’s caused by the stick running out of memory. Recently we had someone report this sort of error (not with the NIF, but other frames being rejected) and when I looked at some debug logs I found a lot of messages being received from a sensor device. Once this device was reset, and it stopped sending loads of spam messages, the errors stopped. I believe that by sending all these messages, the device was taking all the memory on the stick, and the binding could not send messages.

So, given that you haven’t changed the binding, I would look for this sort of thing. Check to see if debug logging shows anything strange such as multiple messages being received from the same node in quick succession for example.

Thanks Chris!

This is happening because my zWave rules are firing in sets of 3 - 4’s also. It’s not just 1 node it’s many from these types of nodes → ZW100 Multisensor 6

Based on this any other direction I can follow?

I do have these USB nodes set to fire at 300 ms. Should I offset them maybe as an idea?

Best, Jay

Thanks @chris

I looked up and found that my Aeotec zWave stick was only blinking yellow and not rotating through the rainbow of colors that this stick does.

I swapped it out with a backup copy of the stick that I keep in sync monthly and everything started to work again.

I can’t empathizes enough to keep a backup of your zWave bridge in case something happens. My USB stick was only 13 months old. This could of been a disaster re-including everything back onto a new stick and then modifying all the items with new nodes.

Keep up the great work!

Best, Jay

Sorry to ping on an old thread but my issue is also related, so decided to post here.
So I have a bunch of TZ37 (https://www.cd-jackson.com/index.php/zwave/zwave-device-database/zwave-device-list/devicesummary/562?layout=openhab2new) and TZ55 (https://www.cd-jackson.com/index.php/zwave/zwave-device-database/zwave-device-list/devicesummary/516?layout=openhab2new) switches. Since the very beginning the TZ37 devices were found but TZ55 used to show unknown (due to wrong Manufacturer ID). In the past, I had gotten around the problem by stopping Openhab service, modifying the node*.xml files to reflect the correct device and restarted the service.

That was working fine until a week or so ago. Since then the devices were once again shown as Unknown. I deleted them and added them again through Inbox (they got the same Node ID), but they refuse to move from the Unknown state. I noticed that the format of my xml files is not the same anymore as that mentioned on the devices webpage (https://www.cd-jackson.com/index.php/zwave/zwave-device-database/zwave-device-list/devicesummary/562?layout=openhab2new). Should I update the node files since the old ones aren’t supported? But then the TZ37 still have the old format and that does work… Any hints on what I should do? I already soft-reset the Aeotec stick by taking it out and putting it back. Querying the bundle reveals it is 2.5.1 binding. Openhabian running on Raspi 3. Thanks a lot in advance!

Okay, so restoring from the backup, seems to have solved the problem partially. I stopped Openhab service, restored an older backup of openhab and now the device is controllable again using Habpanel, but I can’t set the configurations of the device. Below are the log lines. Any idea how I can fix it properly? I think the first line below may have a hint!

Your device is correctly defined as TZ55D in the database:

https://www.cd-jackson.com/index.php/zwave/zwave-device-database/zwave-device-list/devicesummary/516

What version of the binding are you using? Please upgrade to the latest zwave snapshot.

Thanks for the reply. I am using 2.5.1 zwave binding. I tried updating it to 2.16 as well, but didn’t help.

That was the wrong solution.
If your device is indeed the same as the one in our database except for the manufacturer id, the proper solution is to add a new database entry, not “hack” your own system. It works more consistent for you and benefits the community.

When you edit that file manually you are stating you know your situation better than the developers and have chosen to support it yourself rather than get assistance here or from the developers.

The reason I did that was because my devices were returning 0xFFFF 65535, which seems more like an error rather than another code.

I have only seen that happen if the device is not fully discovered. That is the default, purposely invalid manufacturer id. BTW, you just admitted your problem is not the same as in this thread and you are off-topic.

Feel free to start a new thread for your issue though.

Yes, that’s what I got reading the forums, but it was a powered switch, and even after a week or so, wasn’t updating. Strangely enough, it was for all of 7 switches, so I decided to change the ID myself. if you have other suggestions, I will be happy to hear! Adding devices again is also rather easy, but didn’t help in the past.
