Z-Wave: No xml for The OCTAN Remote (NodOn)

I agree, it’s a shame this isn’t allowed, but you should be able to find somewhere on the net to put it (eg dropbox). Alternatively you can open a ticket on my website and attach it there.

Yeah, I added it to my google drive, here you go: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Sosnu49NQFXIY2pv2g7xkOYasgSnwmW0?usp=sharing

I performed a clean inclusion with debug on. The new node is now 53. And all the logs should be visible here:

Hope that helps a bit.

Still nothing useful :sunglasses:

I would try to reset the device before next inclusion attempt.

Well, I tried that already a few times…

Check this post:

Nevertheless, here another one. Freshly excluded, reset and re-included. Still, no more information.
Maybe the device is damaged? Hm…

See post above … worth a try :sunglasses:

Well, basically I’m already on a snapshot build (the one including the security refactoring).

I never had a thing in habmin, because it’s not recognized and therefore there is not xml to delete. Nevertheless, I excluded the ‘thing’ and performed a factory reset as described in the mentioned post, as well as in the user manual. Still after a reboot of my OH and the re-inclusion, the behavior is the same. A thing not recognized as the given Octan Remote and no useful log information.

Despite the fact, that the battery state of the remote seems fine (green, as far as I can tell), I think I should change the battery (just in case) and retest. If that doesn’t help, a new remote should be in order.

Well, I would first double check via karaf console if you are on a recent snapshot:

openhab> bundle:list|grep -i zwave
189 │ Active   │  80 │ 2.3.0.201805192224     │ ZWave Binding

(this is the development version of the zwave binding!)

Yeah, you’re probably right.

243 │ Active   │  80 │ 2.3.0.201804022210     │ ZWave Binding

I’m most certainly not on the newest snapshot. As far as I understand, your snapshot version doesn’t work any longer with OH 2.2.x and needs OH 2.3-Snapi. And expect for some bindings, I run on the latest stable OH 2.2 version. So that’s a no-go for me, because I fear the change to OH 2.3-Snapi and the newest Z-Wave binding will lead to even more problems and probably a lot of headache. I switched to the z-wave binding snapshot only because of the security refactoring and in order to be able to add my Danalock into the network.

So I will probably have to sit this one out (if it’s really related to my case) and try another remote.

The device was created in the database a year ago, so I guess with your snapshot version you are good to go.
Also the post above from successful inclusion is from Feb 17. Not sure what is going on at your system :joy:

Hm? What do you mean ‘from Feb 17’? Which one?
And yeah, I’m not sure either :wink:
Well at least it’s only the remote that doesn’t work, everything else works more or less like a charm.

Ah yeah, now I understand :smiley:

Was this ever resolved? I am testing openhabian and remote is not recognized…

Waking up the remote during the startup of the z-wave binding helped. I could reproduce this and also include another Octan remote. Just had to wake it up during startup…

Thanks!

How did you wake it up, and how can you time it to the startup of the binding? I have no screen on the RPI, so i cannot monitor the boot process.

You don’t need to worry about the binding startup - just the waking up of the device. The binding is always listening for the wakeup messages, so this is not something to worry about.

Ok, because i am struggling :stuck_out_tongue:

I have been randomly pressing the button, as the manual states “wakeup” is done by pressing a button.

Are there any logs i could check, to see what fails?
