Official Z-Wave Aeotec
Comments
I think not many Homey users have updated the firmware.... it requires a z-wave stick....
One sensor will flash the LED indicating that motion was detected, but the motion icon in the Homey interface (on Chrome and the Homey App on my mac) doesn't respond, and flows triggered by motion detection are not triggered. Tamper alarm will not be triggered either.
Another Aeotec motion sensor stays in 'motion alarm' mode, even past the 'motion alarm expire (bewegingsalarm annuleren)". Here the tamper alarm will not trigger too.
I have PTP and I have restarted the Aeotec App.
Does anyone experience similar issues?
My sensor is connected to a USB power supply and I'm still at firmware 1.7 because I don't have a z-wave stick.
Oddly, only 2 sensors are misbehaving. One doesn't show motion nor tamper alarm. The other keeps motion alarm active and tamper is also not working.
The other 4 sensors still work as should...
Perhaps it's the way they were included, secure or non-secure.
Odd...
Greenwave Powernode-6 went offline and started having issues too. Guess it's f/w 1.5.5 experimental related. I posted Github issue.
*** Will refrain from posting more issues. Pisses off ambassadors / purple crocodile people ***
Try to PTP (Pull the Powercord) for 10-15 minutes. In most cases the devices will start responding again after this PTP.
Athom is working on 1.5.6 that should solve this issue and increase the bandwidth for Z-wave and Zigbee...
Don`t have the Gen 5 Z-Stick to check firmware tho.
Anybody else still have this problem?
Apparently the "Door/window sensor gen 5" is not supported by Homey? Any ideas on how to add this or will it be supported?
i have just bought 3 pcs Aeotec DSB45 Water sensor. It's almost completely impossible to add them. I finally managed but it only shows battery and "no water" it does not respond to water, even though I change the wake up time. also does not help to press the z-wave button. Same problem on all of them.
When I change to the directory and issue the commands athom app install (or validate or run) it fails with a series of validation errors that I cannot relate to. Most are with the text "should be equal to one of the allowed values"
I did not touch a line of code. Just trying to learn how to install what is there. Is the current master of this app broken? (v 1.6.5 checked in just hours ago)
If not - what am I doing wrong?
EDIT.
Tried to check out the official 1.6.4 and it fails to validate the same way. My Homey is up to date and node is v 8.11.1
I am following the https://developer.athom.com/docs/apps/tutorial-SDK Guidelines.html 100%. I cannot see what I do wrong.
I am a total beginner here. Do you have a link to where it is described how to use older CLI tools that do work?
I found an old posting where someone downgraded the athom-cli to a 1.X release. I tried that. No luck. It refuses to install and tell me to upgrade. What is the trick? How do you release the existing apps that are not upgraded.
I tried to see if I could fix it but I do not understand the cryptic errors the validator gives. I am too newbie to do that
What I try to do is to copy an existing Aeotek sensor which seems to be 99% the same and try to get it to work with the sensor I have purchased several of and now cannot use. I would be happy to just have the capability of the magnetic switch for now. The battery level and tamper sensor I can live without. The generic Z-wave driver gives me that but because of the class I cannot use it the place I need to. But I am stuck in this SDK version hell.
Please help me learn
The way to install an SDK 1 App on Homey is
1. Downgrade the CLI with the command: npm i athom-cli@1 -g
2. Login again with: athom login
3. Install the app using command: athom project --install
The Homey will show spinning blue light if it installs
Note this is not an encouragement to use the old SDK. Just a work around if you need to try something on another developers app which has not been upgrade to SDK v 2 yet. The Aeotec app is still one of them
I have created a fork so you can download it here and install using the developer CLI tools. Note my posting just before this as this App is still on SDK v1
https://github.com/KennethLavrsen/com.aeotec/tree/zw120
And naturally I have created a pull request. I also updated the bug report on Github. That is all I can do. Now it is up to Athom to decide if my little contribution is good enough.
Setting this parameter to 1 solved my problem! Yours to?
(the newest firmware didnt report motion)
I have a problem/question that you folks might be able to help me with.
I have an dsb45 water sensor and I am on the latest Aeotec v1.6.4, but there seems to be an issue with the sensor.
I have found on Github that there is an v1.6.5, that might have adressed this issue. (https://github.com/athombv/com.aeotec)
Does anybody know if or when this update will find its way to Homey appstore?
