Zwave switches GetStatus not working
Posted: Wed Jan 13, 2010 1:29 pm
Hey Scott,
I found some strange behavior in some of my Z-Wave devices.
I recently bought 2 Duwi 05433 switches, and unlike my other zwave switches (from another brand) I cannot get these to associate with my controller (ZCU201)
When I associate them with another lightswitch they will turn on / off together when you switch them with the local buttons, but when I associate them with my controller (from within Housebot), the status wont update.
Because of this I tried the polling method, set it up with 10 seconds, and it seemed to work OK. But after a day or so, the status wont update anymore.
Also when I use the GetStatus property: It just hangs on YES without updating.
When I then change the node to something that doesnt exist (ie. 40) and ask Housebot to setup all missing Zwave devices, I get a new device for my light and with this device the polling and GetStatus will work.
When I change the node back to the original one, it still wont work (but with the newly created device it will work at this point)
Is there anything you can think of what could trigger this behavior (that the new device does do status updates, but the old one wont) or is there any way you can think of so I can get the 2 duwi switches associated with my controller?
