Hello all,
does anybody know if Openhab 4.3 ZWAVE binding supports the HOPPE Connects sense window handle?
I have tried to integrate gut it looks like it does not work.
There is a device in the zw db that might be yours, but it will only be in oh5. What does the “unknown device” string look like? It could be added to oh4.3 if it matches.
Hello Bob
thanks for the info.
The Thing Properties looks like the following:
how cold this be integeated in the OH4.3 version ?
I could not fnd the Hoppe window handle in the zwave list for supportetd devices.
To add to a device to an OH4.3 version your zwave jar needs to be modified to add this file
e0400zef_0_0.xml (8.8 KB)
in a folder named hoppe using this method Update ZWave binding with new/updated device xml - Tutorials & Examples - openHAB Community.
One area of uncertainty for me is there is no hoppe folder in OH4.x, but I’m thinking if you can create one it will still work. (most vendors already have a folder, but this is the first device from hoppe).
I have also had success using edit functions in a compressed file editor to accomplish this task, but it doesn’t seem to be able to add folders.
Ok, thanks.
never did something like that before, but looks like a new chance to get more insights into the zwave functionality
Question:
- did you create the XML file for the Hoppe or is this example from a different one?
–> solved: Just saw the hoppe hanlde in the latest data base descroption - is that already available in the zwave data base?
–> see above.
Then the question: were can I find the jar file from my OH4 so I can add this description to it?
New Update,
I found my JAR file in the openhab installation
–> copied it to my PC
–> added new hoppe folder
–> inlcuded the new XML File
–> copied the modified JAR file the addons folder
–> new file was taken from openHAB
cool: the item now shows the correct channels
Thanks a lot for the support apella12 
Glad it is working. Most of the device was already in the ZW DB, but I changed the alarms to match the user manual and how the binding reports. Those changes are still pending, but the XML you have is the modified version.
Only thing from your process is that the binding should be removed via the store before adding a jar in the addons. You could check in the console to make sure only one zwave binding is running. I usually recommend the bundle:update option, because the other option might require feature:install oprnhab-transport-serial to be installed (It is automatically installed via the store, but not via add-ons)
Yes, I removed the binding before adding the JAR file
the console I still have to check
