Have you tried excluding and adding as un-secure?

**Rupp** · January 7, 2018, 01:21 PM

Is the Qubino Z-Wave weather station a certified Z-Wave device? I couldn't locate it on the certification link:
https://products.z-wavealliance.org/

If it's not certified it most likely will not work with HS3.

Is the Qubino Z-Wave weather station a certified Z-Wave device?

Interesting. I have worked with one of the people at Qubino when I had a problem and they were very responsive. I just fired off an email and I'll let you know what they say.

Searching the z-wavealliance.org site shows only three Qubino products but they have so many more. The instructions have a ZWave Plus logo and it all seems so normal, like any other of their devices. Except for secure/unsecure. There is a parameter 250 that has to be set to secure before excluding and re-including as secure. I wonder...

Hi,

Yes I have tried an insecure inclusion.

Hi,

I agree it displays the Z-wave plus logo everywhere. Thanks for sending the email - let me know the response.

My next step is to try the 250 parameter.

However be aware that Qubino modules that are certified have no guarantee of working with HS3, see my post : https://forums.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=193043

The flush 1D relay is certified and should work fine but the reality is that it has issues under HS3.

You should put in a support request on this issue at support@homeseer.com

Hi,

We tried the secure inclusion setting parameter 250. The result was worse with all endpoints coming up as unknown

So back to the drawing board - It shouldn't be impossible as other HA systems have it working.

Response received from Qubino.

Here I can confirm that weather station device is not fully compatible with HomeSeer .
As well I cannot assure you when it will be compatible with HomeSeer gateway.
Right now is not shown in Z-Wave alliance because it is not certified yet.
But we are planning to certify it in future.

Hardly an uplifting response, especially when they make such liberal use of the Z-wave plus logo.

Well, off to the supplier's web site to give them a poor review

OK,

Different approach which appears to work.

The sensors are 433MHz. So I have a surplus RTL-SDR, so using a spare RPi I have set up a 433MHz receiver and using rtl-sdr and rtl_433 and mosquito clients in Linux I can capture the raw signals. The command is:

Code:

rtl_433 -R 42 -F json -U | mosquitto_pub -i rtl433 -t /raw/rtl_433 -1

The switches are as follows:

-R 42 selects the HIDEKI weather sensors used by the kit
-F json puts the output into json format
-U adds UTC timestamps

-i RTL433 sets the MQTT client id to RTL433
-t sets the topic to /raw/rtl433
-1 Send messages read from stdin

This gets:
/raw/rtl433 {"time" : "2018-01-11 10:43:05", "model" : "HIDEKI TS04 sensor", "rc" : 13, "channel" : 1, "battery" : "OK", "temperature_C" : 18.600, "humidity" : 45}

/raw/rtl433 {"time" : "2018-01-11 10:44:16", "model" : "HIDEKI TS04 sensor", "rc" : 13, "channel" : 2, "battery" : "OK", "temperature_C" : 5.900, "humidity" : 88}

/raw/rtl433 {"time" : "2018-01-11 10:45:01", "model" : "HIDEKI Rain sensor", "rc" : 0, "channel" : 4, "battery" : "OK", "rain" : 0.000}

/raw/rtl433 {"time" : "2018-01-11 10:43:52", "model" : "HIDEKI Wind sensor", "rc" : 4, "channel" : 4, "battery" : "OK", "temperature_C" : 22.400, "windstrength" : 0.000, "winddirection" : 157.500}

Each report is sent 3 times. So I am going to use a short perl script to read the raw values filter the duplicates and process them into individual sub-topics

/data/qubino/temperature1/temperature
/data/qubino/temperature1/humidity
/data/qubino/temperature1/battery

/data/qubino/temperature2/temperature
/data/qubino/temperature2/humidity
/data/qubino/temperature2/battery

/data/qubino/rain/rain
/data/qubino/rain/battery

/data/qubino/wind/temperature
/data/qubino/wind/speed
/data/qubino/wind/direction
/data/qubino/wind/battery

I will then create the corresponding MQTT devices in Homeseer using the MQTT plugin.

Anyone have one of these they're willing to sell?
