I’ve installed an aeotec Z-Wave stick on my rpi to access my fakro roller shutters, but openhab doesn’t seem to recognize them. The log file with detailed Z-Wave info is attached down under.
I assume that the node devices are not included into the Z-Wave database, but I’m not sure…
Therefore I’ve installed domoticz for testing purposes. When i put the Z-Wave stick in my computer, this results in a successful recognition of the devices, as shown in the following picture.
My fakro shutters are powered by mains. Even a recycle of the device brought no solution.
I still assume it’s openhab related or something with the combination Z-stick/RPI4, because when I put the stick in my computer and run Domoticz, I’m able to see the devices with the correct parameters and operate them.
I’ve checked the documentation and it is not getting me wiser yet… My Fakro ARZ roller shutters are bought in 2010, so I believe it should have ‘fakro_arz_00_000’ as type ID.
My detailed log file is pointed in the first post. I placed the file in the Z-Wave log file viewer (https://www.cd-jackson.com/index.php/openhab/zwave-log-viewer) and saw the following messages. It states ‘Update_state_node_info_req_failed’ for a reason…
From the small log here, it seems that the device is simply not responding to basic messages being sent to it - the “ping” command for example. I’m not sure I can really say a lot more than that - maybe it’s out of range, or maybe it was not included properly - these are common reasons for this sort of thing, but without more information it’s hard to say.
Thanks for the info. I opened a ticket on opensmarthouse.org and requested to update the database.
But I cannot find a tutorial how to update the binding to the latest snapshot. I am on OpenHAB 2.5.12 on a RasPi3 and I dont have the /opt/openhab2/addons folder. Does the latest binding snapshot support OH2.5 ?
thanks
No, you are going to need to upgrade to the OH3. And there are ways to update to the latest binding in OH3 manually (search the forum for upgrading the Zwave binding), but in my view the easier path is just to wait for the next milestone build if you are patient.
