Hello, I’m new to the forum, but I’ve been using OpenHAB 2 for about a year. I have a Raspberry PI 3B with a Gen5 z-wave stick. I’m running version 2.3 with the 2.3.0 z-wave binding. I have 9 First Alert Zcombo smoke alarms, among many other z-wave devices. I thought everything was working great un…

[image] jgrundvig: It also makes me wonder if the detector sends different data for smoke vs. CO detection events? I can say for sure this is not the case. It only has the one ALARM channel that it reports for any ALARM. Make sure that the Association Group is set to Controller. [image] I…

Thanks for the reply. I’ll check out the association group later tonight. Would that cause just the issue that I’m having (battery life, test alarm, and heartbeat all work fine)? Thanks

Well, putting setting the association group to the controller didn’t change anything. Still notifies with the test button, still doesn’t notify when triggered with actual smoke. I’ll look up how to put the binding in TRACE or DEBUG and capture some data. Thanks

DEBUG level will be fine - please don’t use TRACE as it’s not required. I would however strongly suggest that you use a newer version of openHAB - at least 2.4M4 is recommended, and it will not be possible to resolve this unless you are using at least this version (and preferably the SNAPSHOT as an…

Sounds great! I’ll update to the latest snapshot and proceed from there. Thanks

You probably should have a read of this post regarding the upgrade -: [image] ZWave binding updates News & Important Changes I have now merged the development version of the ZWave binding into master, so it will be available in the 2.4 snapshot version. If yo…

Thanks. How long should my zwave controller take to initialize after the upgrade? I followed the instructions, but my z wave controller is not transitioning to online, it is just showing “initializing,” I used the old controller Thing, and I’m just ignoring the one in the inbox. Thanks

It shouldn’t take any time at all. Probably it is better to delete the old controller and use the autodetected one :frowning: .

I tried that after writing my last post. No success. I tried making a new one with the same ThingID as the original, still no success. I tried rebooting, shutting down and unplugging the stick, waiting a few minutes, powering back up, etc. Still no success. I removed the stick and it still showed as…

Then you probably need to check the logs to see what is happening - otherwise it’s just going to be guesswork I’m afraid.
