Z-wave device unknown in openHAB, but in z-wave database

Add-ons Bindings
1

Dear community,

I have a problem with two of my newly bought z-wave dimmers. In Openhab (I tried 4.3.3 stable, 5.0.0.M1 and 5.0.0-snapshot late feb’25) my devices are online, but unknown. I am looking for suggestions to find the problem.

System:

  • QNAP NAS, QTS 5.2.3.3006
  • Openhab 5.0.0-snapshot (late Feb’25) in Docker (QNAP container station v3.0.9.1038)
  • Aeon Z-wave Stick

Devices with problem: EcoBright ECO-DIM.07 Smart LED dimmer

Context:

  • All my other z-wave devices work just fine. Other devices are all Aeotec brand (light switches) or Popp brand (smoke detectors). The two dimmers are EcoBright brand; I have no other EcoBright brand devices.
  • The EcoBright dimmers are not battery powered.
  • I waited 24 hours to see if it was correctly defined but no luck. I have also tried to heal the device and also reinitialize the device. No change.
  • The device is listed in the z-wave database: EcoBright ECO-DIM.07
  • In Openhab, I see that the device is online

In Openhab, the device is listed as ‘Unknown Device’:

thing_not_recognized
thing_not_recognized1496×1262 151 KB

In the logs, I see that the device is not resolved to a thingType (see line 7):

The z-wave binding seems up to date using the bundle:list command. AFAIK it should have a recent database with the appropriate entry for my devices:

What am I missing? Do you have any suggestions as to where to look for the root-cause of the problem (or a solution :grinning:)?

There is a duplicate Unique ID with the two Ecobright devices, so only one (not yours) is in the binding. I added an “a” to yours and marked for review.

For a quick fix, you could add this file to your jar under the ecobright folder using this procedure, or some have been able to use a zip-like utility to add it.

Excellent! This makes sense, and I would not have thought of this myself. Thank you for taking the time, it’s truly appreciated.

I’ll try out a new snapshot in a few days time, when the z-wave database modification is accepted.
