Z-Wave Binding..."Issues" with Aeotec Z-Stick Gen 5 [Z-Wave] #1415

Oh okay thanks I’ll try that

You always need a reset device before secure inclusion

Would it be a possibility to send a reset-command at the inclusion process from the controller? I believe that is how Zipabox is making the secure inclusion process (the only working thing on Zipabox). I have only one working battery device (aeotec quad wallmote) at the time and was never able to make a secure inclusion with it by resetting it…it always states an X at security in habmin…woke it multiple times…

Tried that with fibaro smart implant. Works like a charm =). Thanks for the tip =)

I think just the: “learn from another controller” and the “delete nodes from z-wave” is remaining as “real issues”. Haven’t tried/managed secure inclusion with battery devices yet…All others are just wrong usage/understanding of mine, so I’m gonna mark this temporary as solution.

edit

• secure inclusion works with battery-devices also (make sure to reset before inclusion thanks for the hint @Bruce_Osborne )

• delete nodes works with the z-stick gen5 after toggeling “soft reset” even though it is said in the compatibility-docs not to toggle it…I’ve not realised any side-effefcts so far…

learn from another controller

What do you mean by that? The binding needs information from the device firmware that is not stored on the controller.

[bf8392]

I mean to include OpenHab as a secondary controller to another z-wave network…this would enable failover and easy switch to OpenHab hopefully to further increase the amazing community .

Gradual migration from Zipabox: primary and secondary controllers, etc

As I eye up OpenHab my plan is to gradually set OH in parallel with my existing Zipabox setup. Since I have a lot of learning to do, and much battling with coding and configuration files and obscure setup steps, I expect this to be a long process. I’m not in a hurry. Scanning the forum, it seems that having the two systems in parallel (albeit only one active) is feasible: Z-Wave. The trickiest bit. I can add a Gen5 stick as a secondary controller, which will copy over the device info from the …

Hi @bf8392

To delete a node do you toggle all 3 options together?

• Set failed
• Remove from controller
• Soft reset

@abol3z

do you toggle all 3 options together?

This is not a good idea. For starters, soft reset will cause problems as it causes the USB to re-arbitrate, which may cause the device to change to a different port (depending on OS). Secondly, there is no guarantee as to which order these will then arrive in the binding. You need to set failed, then set the remove from controller - separately.

I’ve tried all combinations and still not able to remove ghost nodes.
Also soft resetting did change the port on Linux.

No I toggled them one after another…for me it worked, but it could also be coincidence…tried it two times without problems → but sometimes I had to repeat the process because ghost node was still showing up…

I use raspberry pi with dockerized OpenHab 2.5.9

[abol3z (firas)]

Is my order correct?

Notice no mention of soft reset

This is not working for me, unfortunately.
