I have been trying to convert my 100% X10 home automation to Z-Wave. Those of you that started out with X10 know the problems with reliability etc. So I bought a few Z-Wave devices to test the concept. My initial response is that while the Z-Wave network is more sophisticated, the reliability of the devices and the HS plug-in are not all that much better. That being said, I want to get the newer technology working but have run into problems with new devices.
I have one Aeon device that included in the network properly but returns errors when you try to configure it. I already posted about it here https://forums.homeseer.com/showthread.php?p=1300897.
Now I have Enerwave ZW500D that returns errors when including.
The first time I included the device, it reported that it was a Wenzhou MTLC Electric Appliances Co., Ltd. SWITCH MULTILEVEL. After excluding and re-including the device it reports Sigma Designs Z-Wave Sigma Switch Multilevel.
The switch responds to on, off & dim but cannot be configured from HS nor will it return information when polled. I have done the usual remove, add, restart, etc. many times with the same result.
My real frustration is that I cannot determine if this is a hardware problem or if the plugin is not properly including the device. Is there additional debugging that can be done to determine the issue? Additional incite would be truly appreciated.
Thanks,
Wade
