Z-Wave Unknown Device

RPi with Aeotec Controller
OH 4.04

I have two of the same outdoor zwave plugs. One connected fine and works with no issues. The other has remained as “Unknown Device” for a couple of days now.

I’ve tried excluding and Including multiple times. I’ve tried “healing device”, I’ve tried “reinitializing device”. I’ve tried deleting it from the controller.

Is there a way to enter in the “thing type” and model so I can use it? The device shows as “Online” in OH UI.

Logs just have the warning that Thing Type cannot be resolved:

023-12-09 14:28:10.887 [WARN ] [wave.discovery.ZWaveDiscoveryService] - NODE 44: Device discovery could not resolve to a thingType! 0063:4F50:3032::5.21

The TYPE:ID for that device appear to be added on August 22, but that PR was not applied to OH4.0.4. It is in OH4.1M4 if you want to upgrade. Another option is to update the jar you are using with this file;
45604_0_0.xml (2.0 KB)

Following the guide here; EDIT: The update needs to be in /OH-INF/thing/ge/45604_0_0.xml

Your other GE/Jasco switch must have a different TYPE:ID (yours in 4F50:3032)

I’m trying to follow your guide, but the link after “this updates the forum posting here”, the link is broken. This prevents me from “understanding the backgrounds and cautions”.

Trying to continue, but your descriptions refer to OH3 and I’m on OH 4.04.

I also tried to upgrade OH to 4.1, but selecting ‘release’ or ‘latest’ still doesn’t upgrade my 4.04 build. I received no errors when I selected ‘latest’ and then ‘upgrade’:

Odd-it just worked for me, but here is the topic

OH3 and OH4 are the same as far as the process.

OH4.1 is currently not the “stable” release. To get the latest milestone (M4), you would need to choose “testing” in openhabian. I’m guessing you are still on 4.0.4.

Another option to consider if you don’t mind waiting is the OH4.1 “stable” is due by Christmas.

It also possible to just upgrade the Zwave binding, but sometimes that doesn’t work. The procedure for that is under Bundle Management in the docs. The latest Zwave binding is here. openHAB-ZWave [Jenkins]

Thanks so much for your help.

I went ahead and bought a Wemo switch yesterday to get my routine to work. I’ll wait until Christmas for the stable release and try again.
