I thought I'd give some of the new ZWave plus modules from Qubino a try in HS3 as they claim to be certified.
Experience so far is not brilliant.
I have tested a Flush 1 Relay plus and a Flush 1D relay plus. I have a Flush 2 Relay plus on the way. The difference between the Flush 1 and the 1D is that the 1D has 'volt-free' contacts, like the Fibaro modules. The 1D also doesn't appear to monitor power, which I hadn't realised until I read the manual properly.
I am running HS3 3.0.0.194 ZWave 3.0.1.25 and use a UZB1 Zwave plus stick.
Flush 1 plus I haven't been able to successfully include this device into my network. I've include and excluded it a few times with the device within 1m of the controller but HS3 gets stuck and ultimately timesout. It finds the node reports all the supported classes and library versions, retrieves all the association groups (8 No) and then hangs. See attached file 'Qubino Flush 1 Relay.jpg'. It never manages to retrieve any child devices.
Flush 1D plus I fared a little better with this device as it did successfully include and create some child devices. I tried a few re-scans, sometimes it found 3 out of 3 child devices, sometimes it found 4 out of 4.
See attached file 'Node 52.jpg'.
No associations were set automatically. Polling intervals were set for all child devices, so need to be removed manually. The child device called 'Goap Switch Binary Node 92 Root Switch Binary 1' successfully controls the relay and instant updates if Input 1 is manually switched.
Manually switching input 2 doesn't do anything. I added a Group 1 association to Homeseer but still no response to input 2.
I tried adding other associations to Homeseer with Endpoints, e.g. Group 3 which is supposed to reflect the state of Input 2 but without success. HS3 reports it has successfully added the association but auditing the node only ever shows the Group 1 association. No change in HS3 lack of response to local switching of input 2.
Also quite worryingly it only sees 3 neighbors, after a few optimizations, whereas a nearby node can see 15.
I'll put in a Bugzilla about this when I have time but I wondered if anybody else has experience of these devices yet. I do have 1 of the previous (not plus) Qubino modules which works OK although I have only ever used input 1. I have stuck to Fibaro in the past because the Qubino devices strangely require the inputs switched by the neutral rather than the live. It's of no consequence if you are just connecting a local switch but if you want to monitor some circuit going live it's no good. The new plus modules have changed to use live as the input switch which makes much more sense.
