Unknown ZWave Device - please add -

Dear openHAB Community,

I bought a Leviton Z-Wave fan switch some months back which is both unknown to openHAB2 and openHAB3. All my other nodes and devices work fine.

How can it be added to the database, please?

Thank you!

Feel free to add it to the community supported database :wink:

I have no idea how that works or how it will make it from there into OpenHab. I’ll try to read myself into it tonight when the family is asleep

Posting the xml will help us determine if that is the issue. We are also here to help if needed.

I’m also trying to add this device to my OH3 Z-Wave setup.
I put the device in inclusion mode and OH3 discovery sees the device but does not update with the additional device info as described in the zwave binding docs.

Here is the log

Same story as in post #2;

There looks to be this device already in the database
https://opensmarthouse.org/zwavedatabase/1418
The db guide, as I understand it says that I should post my xml file and the community can work out what may be different

network_dd8d87c1__node_3.xml (9.7 KB)
network_dd8d87c1__node_4.xml (10.5 KB)

The device is already in the database - you should ensure that you are using the latest snapshot as this is quite a new entry.

oh my… latest snapshot…
Well… at least I’m not running and critical medical equipment :laughing:

There have been very few changes to the ZWave binding for a long time now - it’s mostly just changes to the database to add new devices, so it should be reasonably safe.

I upgraded to the latest snapshot and my Lutron Z-Wave Fan controls work as expected.
Thank you
