Hello,
I give you a feedback of my little experience on zwave on Ohab2. My system is stable and work very well now, But initial configuration was a little bit diffulty…
I write what I see, maybe can help U. Thank you @chris
The XML file is not always created when the device send his initialization
In the paper UI, when you find an Items with the discovery, is not recognized ( i try to click three times on button of the device to wake up )
The log file has lots of

but communication work very well
The configuration parameters page on things use default values ( expected nothing if the data is still not arrived after a wake up)
writing a parameters, i’m not sure if it work. I try some times, but values was not writed on device.
The XML is written once initialisation is completed - it won’t be written if the initialisation is only partly complete.
I can’t really comment too much without more information on the device and logs.
Again, I’d need to see a debug log to see what is happening. Clearly there are timeouts, so while you might thing it works “very well” clearly something isn’t working well at all…
When the device is first initialised, the binding downloads all the configuration so the config should reflect the device - if it can’t get the device informtion for some reason, then it will show the default values.
It should work, but if you have a battery device you will need to wake the device up for it to be transferred. Again, I’d need to see a debug log to see what is up, and I’d need to see a specific example.
This is likely related to what the device sends, but I’d need to see the logs. This might be improved shortly when the NOTIFICATION command class is better supported.
Hmm I think i’m to the point that I need to NUKE zwave on my OH2 install and restart. only recognizes 1 lock and none of the wall sockets that are in the DB since 1.8.3… so. uninstall the binding and nuke the xml files and reset the gen5 stick? I know i will need to re-exclude/include everything but i need to get them recognized.
You should note that the database for OH2 is different than OH1 - just because a device is in OH1 doesn’t mean it will necessarily work immediately without some work. Please refer to the online database to see if the device is approved for starters.
You shouldn’t need to reset the stick unless you want to completely reset the network.
If so, then find it, click on the tool menu (top right corner) and click on “update” and past in the XML.
If it’s not there at all, then go to the device list, and in the top right click on the add button, and select “from OH XML file” - give it a name and paste in the XML.
If it needs parameters adding, then this is more work, but getting the above done will add most of the basic information.
You can add them directly into the database. It’s relatively simple, if not a little tedious! Just go down to the Configuration Parameters section. Click on the green + button (mouseover should say “add new parameter”) and enter the data (should be self explanatory). If there are options, then you can add these in a similar way (same + button, but different place and mouseover says “Add a new option”).
No - I’ll try and look at this tonight. I don’t expect it to be a big problem since this used to work and probably broke when I updated a library a couple of weeks back…
The other option of course is to use PaperUI until HABmin is fixed…
I didn’t want to merge it right before the beta4 release so I held off and I’ve been travelling over the past 2 days and just got home. I’ll merge tonight or tomorrow.
you need me to upload the XML file right?
