Updating device status?

[stejp96]

I need a way to check the device status. If it is activated or not. Because I have a relay that I activate with a switch, but the UI wont recognize that the relay is activ. How to I do this? Im guessing that I need a bit of javascript code that loops in the background?

Thanks.

Most of devices do send an unsolicited report on status changes, so you just need to put RaZberry in the corresponding Association group.

If yours does not support unsolicited reports, do periodical polling. There is a module for this in HA UI. Or you acn do it with a bit of JS.

Do you know how I can do this? Im kinda new to Z-wave and RaZberry. And the polling is only for sensors and such, isnt it?

There is a sensor polling module in new HomeAutomation UI

I do have RaZberry in all association groups of my Zwave>me switches as shown below. Still device statuses are not updated in the Old Blue interface, nor in the Home Automation windows after manual changes of the switch. This behaviour is the same in 2.0.0-rc8 and 1.7.2

This periodical polling does not support binary switches!!

PS: There is a funny "ghost" Device 62 in association group 1 that I can not get rid off. After removing it in the Expert commands, it seems it has gone, but after a while it re-appears.

Only one of my seven Zwave.me binary switches seems to send these unsolicited status updates.
Below are the interview results for device 3, that is shown in the previous post.

What can be wrong with these devices. I did several Forced interviews at no avail.
Originally in version 1.3.1, all these switches did send unsolicited status updates when switches were manually changed
