111,4,300 - this leads to a update of luminance every 5 minutes.
Also I have had enabled the selective reporting with:
40,1,1 (to enable this reporting) and
43,2,25 which sends a report if the difference in lux is >25.
This turned out to be an overkill so I disabled it again.
@ericjanvanputten: once every 5 mins, works great.
I'm testing with 111,4,300 now but get no report on a battery powered sensor, will also test it on a USB powered sensor to see if that works. If I read the engineering sheet correctly the interval for a battery powered sensor only varies from 1 to 2 hours, and a shorter interval should be set by using the Wake Up Interval set CC.
Edit: Yes, it does work for me on the USB powered sensor.
is this a bug or am i doing something wrong ?
i don't see a scrollbar, unfortunatly i can't see any devices on my android or iOS or mobile browsers, only chrome on my mac is working
edit .. found the scroll bar thanks!
Ok, that's very strange.
What's Homey's firmware version?
How did you include the sensor ?(secure or non-secure)
Did you change any parameters?
Does it report data in insights?
Correct it was from the device status i could not see temp, lux and humidity, insights i could see
Thanks to rob_houwling i found the scrolbar and i can see everything
problem fixed
Both have the 'generic alarm' triggered 24/7. All other sensors work perfectly. Is this 'normal'?
I am on the firmware 0.8.32
Is anyone else seeing this too?
1. It's a beta product so this was to be expected
2. Send an email to Athom to complain
3. What are you trying to achieve with these kinds of posts? Not really constructive criticism right?
So, we're starting this again, great! Thanks for pointing that out @rob_houweling![:( :(](https://forum.athom.com/resources/emoji/frowning.png)
what is the generic alarm for? where can i use it in?
Done some more testing, decided to try setting settings with a flow as 0.8.34 required and that worked for option 5,1,2!
So, long story short:
After adding the Multisensor I added these options: 5,1,2;111,4,300;201,1,217;202,1,9 saved them to homey and pressed the Action Button on the device to get the settings saved to the device.
1: 5,1,2 Send Binary report
2: 111,4,300 Send a frame every 300 seconds
3: 201,1,217 Lower reported temperature by 3,8 degree (255-3.8x10 =217)
4: 202,1,9 Raise reported humidity by 9% RH
The first setting never showed a result.
The settings 2,3,4 worked immediatly.
Save setting 5,1,2 via a flow and pressed the Action Button, waited 5 minutes, triggered the movement alarm and waited another 5 minutes: the Generic Alarm showed up in Insights and was off at the devicecard.
After that the Generic Alarm works as expected.
The above procedure was reproducable on 4 devices.
@Taco Do you need any more info to look into this
Yeah I've seen it before (on other controller forums) that the sensor needs to be put in binary instead of basic command set to get it working properly.
You needed to put it in binary before with homey, before the command class "Sensor Multilevel" was implemented to get any alarm.
Maybe in Z-Wave+ "generic alarm" is binary
and the other alarms (motion and tamper) are (also) non-binary.
I've seen the same with my smoke alarm (also Z-Wave+) that have the Generic Alarm always on.
But you can't put these in binary so I can't test it further.
@Caseda The Generic Alarm didn't show up regardless of having 5,1,2 in the settings, the problem is that it only saves to the sensor when it is saved in a flow, on the device card it simply doesn't work. Kinda like it was with multi byte settings on 0.8.32. The strange thing is however that the other 3 settings did work form the device card.
1: 111,4,300 Send a frame every 300 seconds
2: 5,1,2 Send Binary report

4: 202,1,9 Raise reported humidity by 9% RH
No, the motion alarm is triggered when there is motion and stops when the detected motion ended, after that the Generic Alarm stays active for 4 minutes.
Imagine this, you have a motion sensor in the hallway switching the light in it, and go through it to go to the toilet. When you leave the toilet (in a reasonable time) the hallway light will stil be on if it is controlled by the Generic Alarm.
Thanks
