Hi all,
New to Z-Wave. Running 2.5 on a Raspberry PI 3B with ZST10. I believe it is set up correctly with the Z-Wave binding. I’ve been trying to control the RGB strip with the controls on the Paper UI, see snap shop below. The controls respond erratically and the slider jumps back a forth. Does anyone have a Zen 31 working and stable? Can you offer some tips?
Thank you,
Bob

Snapshot of my set up
I have a ZEN31 that has been working great through automation, Basic UI and Habpanel. Paper UI is only meant to be used for administration and it definitely has issues. Actually, Paper UI has already be removed in OH 3.0. I suggest setting up your Items in a sitemap or HabPanel to see if things are more stable.
Some debug logs for the zwave binding would also be helpful, since the values from the device may be what is erratic. Another suggestion is to disable the Command Poll Period (found in the Thing Device Configuration for the ZEN31).
Thanks for the tip @5iver . After looking at the event log it looks like the controller and the Zen31 go on and offline. Did you have this issue? Below is a snippet of my log.
I’m very new to this, can you share a snippet of your items/site map? I good at learning from example.
Happy Sunday,
Bob

It looks like you are effected by the issue where certain bindings restart every minute. Take a look into your openhab.log. There are several topics on this issue. I’ll try to get more info when I’m back at a keyboard.
Here are the Items. Note the metadata for DS_PoolTable_LED_Color is for use with the Alexa skill, so you may not need this.

Thank for this @5iver. I’m still working on the disconnect issue with the Z-Wave binding.
Baby steps.
B
Well, I believe I was able to resolve the issue with the Z-Wave binding resetting. However, I still have an issue with Zen31 not executing a full command. If I move a slider to 100% is will snap back to 53%. @5iver any ideas? Log entries below.
Cheers,
Bob

What does the actual device do, have you looked?
This is the event.log. You will learn a lot more with the zwave binding in debug. My guess is that the Command Poll Period is set too low for the device’s default 3s ramp rate. I have it disabled and do not have this issue. You could try increasing it (in the Thing settings) to more than 3s to see if it helps.
