RPI4 running OH 4.1.0 standard openhabian setup..
I have a qubino ZMNHBD Flush 2 relay. I included it and it went in as node 20. However the install didn’t complete - tried everything and eventually excluded it and re-included it and it installed as node 21. However when the inputs are triggered the log shows the commands being received but the items linked do not update even though on the GUI it indicates the channels and items are linked correctly. Basically I am missing the equivalent of this line in the log:
[openhab.event.ItemStateChangedEvent ] - Item ‘Lorry_charger_Electric_meter_watts’ changed from 11 to 11.2
Further investigation showed that there was no node 21xml file in openhab-user-data/zwave but there was one for node20 (I checked the file out and it did refer to node 20). After trying everything I could I ended up deleting the node20xml file. I rebooted afterwards. Still the same issue. I am assuming I need to get openhab to create the node21xml file but I cannot work out how to do it. I tried deleting the thing and reinstalling but it hasn’t helped.
All ideas welcome!
Not a lot to go on, but did Node21 fully get included? Are there 5 five lines on the Node 21 UI page?
Possible concern is Node 20 is now a zombie and needs to be removed before Node21 is going to work. Also did you unlink your items before excluding Node 20? (Check for orphan links in the karaf console) Did you use the exclude devices on the Controller UI page (correct way) or do something else? Also if you scan does Node20 still pop-up?
Thanks Bob, So I’m missing the reinitialise line:
Also did you unlink your items before excluding Node 20? (Check for orphan links in the karaf console)
Yes I did unlink, can’t see any orphan links.
Did you use the exclude devices on the Controller UI page (correct way) or do something else?
I could not get it to exclude so I used the Simplicity studios PC controller app and also deleted it in the openhab GUI. It doesn’t appear when I scan, and it was definitely not there when I had done the removal using the Si PC controller.
One more question. Did you include via the UI (correct) or use the Studio (could be a factor?)?
Something is impairing the initialization because powered devices should be found (and the XML is produced after inclusion is finished). Possibly a debug log Exclude again and debug during OH UI discovery.
I did it the standard way via the UI.
Solved this eventually by removing the device, doing a hard reset on it then including again - when it was allocated a new node number it rapidly was initialised and entered into the database - so far it is now reporting the item updates 100% ok. Thanks to @apella12 Bob Eckhoff for the advice.
