I can imagine that he’s a busy guy. He already gave me write access and in the meantime I’ve filed the request as an issue.
I found no manual/specification/documentation for this new device regarding the ZWave parameters. But I have the OH thing generated XML file on hand (the one which I’ve also attached to the filed issue as 3a).
I’ve tried to dig a bit deeper inside, but it seems to be complicated for a ZWave novice.
I’m already using some ZWave smart plugs which looks nearly the same, but from a different manufacturer (these ones are not longer available).
Already used smart plug NAS-WR01ZE: zwave:shenzhen_coolcampwrplug_00_000
New Qolsys smart plug: 012A:0005:0003:3.96
Both have switching, power and energy consumption features. If I look to the things/code data for the existing device I can see it’s configuration and channel details:

The Qolsys device which was discovered by OH but still unknown looks like this - looks like an empty blueprint for unknown devices:
UID: zwave:device:myzwave:node75
label: Z-Wave Node 075 (012A:0005:0003:3.96)
thingTypeUID: zwave:device
configuration:

group_3: []
node_id: 75
group_2: []
bridgeUID: zwave:serial_zstick:myzwave
I think I need to “transfer” the information from the OH generated XML file (3a) to something similar looking data (but in XML format which I don’t know) like the existing and working device. But for all these config parameters I don’t find anything useful in the OH generated XML file (3a).
Here is the generated OH XML file:

The 7 known channels for the working device are also exists somewhere in these commandClass structures of the new/unknown device.
I think I should wait until Chris will find time to generate the required XML file. Even if I would fully understand how to generated the final XML out of the OH generated XML it would be too error prone if I would do it manually.
Btw.: Do you know if there is some documentation/specification about the ZWave XML which OH is using for known devices?
. The reason for the debug was to see how the parameters and groups get populated (or not). Also, if not done already, run through the parameters to make sure they work as expected. You can still change the ZW DB if needed, even though you have marked for review
nothing more to do.
