Since a couple of weeks/months, we are in the process to redo 5 rooms @ home (kids are moving from room to another room) and of course, I would need to redo a bunch of device name and room name in Zway..
Is there an easy way to tell openLuup to completely start over fresh without having to delete/rename them one by one in openLuup ?
I hope this is the correct forum – apologies if not!
I have a Raspberry Pi3 with a Razberry Z-Wave card installed. I have installed the Z-Way software and have successfully included a Fibaro Z-Wave switch on the Z-Wave network. I can toggle the switch on and off successfully from my laptop through port 8083 of the Raspberry Pi3.
On the same Raspberry Pi3 I have installed openLuup on which I have installed the Z-Way plugin. I can access this through port 3480 on the Raspberry Pi3 from my laptop.
Here is where I have come to a dead stop. How do I get access to the Fibaro Z-Wave switch from the openLuup application? I can find no documentation that tells me specifically how to do this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have an odd issue which seems to be only for Fibaro wall plugs. They come in to Z-Way with two "electric meter" entrys, one "Power" meter and a couple of alarm entrys. In addition to the switch that is.
One of the "electric meters" is KWh and the other one is seemingly Watts, but it stays at 0/-1w. The "Power" meter shows the Watts used right now.
When these come into openluup, the wrong electric meter is selected for displaying the Watts, is there any way to manipulate which one openLuup uses? I see that the sub channel for power also is transferred, but it isn't in the data Veraflux is transmitting to my influxdb..
Haven't used the watts reading for anything before now, now i want to estimate when my dryer is done based on power usage. 🙂
Having some trouble getting the Fibaro TRV device working with the ZWay bridge. The device works in the ZWay (Zwave.Me) Smart Home GUI, and creates a number of devices in OpenLuup, some of which appear to have the right variables in it. Changing the XML and JSON files makes no difference.
I also tried creating a separate child device for Parameter 67 (using the gui for the ZWay bridge, see below), and setting the XML/JSON types for that device (like I've havd to do for a few other devices). This results in a device that correctly displays the TRV setpoint, but chaning the setpoint in the OpenLuup gui does not result in anything being transmitted to/by ZWay.

I expect this document to be dynamic based on inputs from people who try but did not want to completely rewrite it here:

Nearly there with the migration ..
Is it ok to use older device files or do they get updated from time to time?
Now that a fresh openLuup is up and running and connected to Zway where's the best place to source device files without vera? I probably have them on another openLuup install but not 100% which ones to copy over.
I've finally gotten the stuff to work together. Now - before I migrate all the vera devices, how do i use this?
How does the variables NameDevices and CloneRooms work? (is there a manual or description of the plugin?)
CloneRooms seems obvious, but is that the best way to go when I have more bridges?
I have an old Z-wave.me wall controller that I still use for turning the espresso machine on and off. The controller controls an Aeotec Micro Switch that for the moment is still on my Vera.
The wall controller has always been a bit tricky to work with on Vera. On my old UI5 VeraLite I managed to get it associated to the switch.
On the UI7 Vera I never got that to work, instead I could use it as a trigger in Reactor to detect when sl_SceneActivated was 1 or 0.
I have moved the wall controller to Z-way and there it is included as it should.

Compared to when it was connected to the Vera it has proper on/off buttons so that it can be controlled from the Z-way GUI.
The command classes are the following:

In OpenLuup it still shows up as it did in the Vera, i.e. only showing battery.

Is it possible to change device type so that it get the right properties in OpenLuup?
At the moment it does not have any useful properties except for battery level. It e.g. lacks the sl_SceneActivated variable.
Another step would then be to move the Aeotec switch to Z-way and to then associate the wall controller to the switch in Z-way. It seems as if this can be done in the ExpertUI.

Just finished migrating to Zway, Although there are some devices that are being detected as a dimmer when in fact are Shutters.
What would be the best route to properly change how this devices are being detected by the ZWay plugin on openluup?

Hi AK,
I must be missing something but I am having now some devices fail on the bridge due to them running out of battery. Upon battery replacement, they function properly on z-way-server but the failure remains over the bridge. The failure shows up on the parent device and it says that a specific command class has failed. Looking at the return API json, it should not return any command class level failure however so I am not sure where the bridge gets its failed state from...
edit: Nevermind, I figured it out. It is a gap in data alignment between the different z-way APIs. The zwave and JS API got the update that the device recovered but not the smarthome API. Pausing and restarting the zwave app on z-way fixed it.
I noticed the change when I switched from the RaZberry to UZB (During the switch all devices moved to the Room 101 briefly, maybe that had something to do with it). Any idea why this would have happened? Can I easily change them all back to enabled? Also, what exactly does this attribute do? I only noticed because none of my z-wave devices were showing up in Imperihome and when I set the "disabled" attribute back to 0, the device shows up. Thanks.
So I started experimenting by moving some of my wallplugs and power switch zwave devices over from VeraPlus to Z-Way.
In Z-Way this results in different elements for switching, Watts and kWh. Some even have Volts which I never saw on Vera.
But using the Z-Way plugin in openLuup only the Switch element is visible and all other elements of the zwave node are not.
I don't really know to much about Z-Way or the plugin, but am trying to learn on the run.
Maybe someone can give me some pointers what and where to look for to solve this?
Just wanted to point out and start the topic of the following:
We are working on a project that will allow to use Z-Way library as the core of Z-Wave in Home Assistant. First releases will be around June/July I believe
Additionally there are ways to support Z-Way from HAss via HTTP requests. This is a community project and we have no deep knowledge about it.

Why would that make you reluctant? It doesn’t seem to be any different from any other local startup supporting funds in other countries.
Z-Way electric meter devices not in openLuup

I have quite a few of these devices... So I think I can help. So it sounds like you are excluding and reincluding devices into z-way?
Did you complete interview of the devices?PS: indeed Z-way will reveal quite a few command classes vera did not expose.
-
@akbooer is so hard on himself...
Looking into it I think ALTUI should display Watts and kWh within the same element by default. Do they not? If not, indeed can you show what the cgi page for the z-way bridge show? You access through a link on ALTUI inside the zway bridge box.
The zway bridge does its best to regroup devices in ALTUI like the verabridge did.
-
Ok, so much information already
Even with the missing docs I managed to get it working to some extent. Not due to my knowhow I'm sure, but more so due to the way it was build and the information that was shared by @akbooer and @rafale77. So thanks and kudos to the both of you.
The first time I installed from the altappstore, but found the CGI was missing.
Then I downloaded from GitHub master and placed the files manually, including the CGI.When I click on the link 'Configure ZWay child devices' I only see some title but nothing else.
Yes, I am excluding devices from Vera and including them in Z-Way. And did finish the interview on them.
And no, ALTUI does not show Watts and kWh in the same element.
It seems it's v18.7.16 at the moment. Maybe I should upgrade to the development version?
-
@rafale77 said in Z-Way electric meter devices not in openLuup:
The master is not quite up to date. @akbooer opportunity for a merge?
Yeah... always a good time / never a good time.
Maybe I should just do all development in the master branch...

After updating now my Neo Coolcam, Fibaro wallplug are showing Watts and kWh inside the one element. So I am a happy camper about this.
My Greenwave Powernode 6 switch still has Watts and kWh missing in openLuup though. This device is probably a bit strange since it is one device with 6 switch plugs that all have Watts and kWh.
For this device I will have make some changes but do not know yet which of the files do I need to edit to accomplish that or what to change/add. That will be my study object to learn a bit more how things work.
Since Vera wasn't able to show this either I was hoping this would be possible easely possible with Z-Way.Also I have noticed something strange in comparison to the printscreen made by @rafale77. My device numbering does not start with the 20-prefix, but has the normal openLuup numbering.
-
Awesome that you got the first problem solved!!
About the device numbering, I suspect it is because the device creation was not made on the right version of the bridge. I would have to go look up the lua code to delete all the bridged devices so you can recreate them. @akbooer?
For the greenwave, I think it can be fixed. Will need to add some implementations to the bridge.
-
Haha... yeah hard to beat that. ok when I get a little bit of time I will look at fixing the greenwave multiswitch. Just to be sure could you get a print screen of all the devices and command classes from this device? As of what you show it doesn't appear to be sending power monitoring info.
-
@iRobot, It helps but the cgi @akbooer is asking for would be better.
@akbooer Could you please provide the lua script to delete the bridge devices so as to recreate the devices. I get the feeling they were previously created and are not numbered right. I could rewrite it but am typo prone without testing... -
