Notify if connection lost to device?

Post by z-wavettaja »

Hi,

Quite new here with razberry and z-wave. I have got Fibaro universal sensor connected my existing fire and co2 alarm network and managed to create rules in alarm to ring D-Link siren and send a Pushover notifications of that kind of events. Now I would like to get some kind of notifications also if that Fibaro device connection is lost and/or is back to life.

I see these events in event log, but is there application or way to make something on those events like below?

9.11. - 18:56 | "Z-Wave device ID is back to life: 3"
8.11. - 22:20 | "Connection lost to Z-Wave device ID: 2"

I found "Event Watcher" (https://github.com/maros/Zway-EventWatc ... /README.md) application and it's documentation lists come common events that can used to trigger an action, example "security.smoke.alarm". It also says "Please refer to the documentation of the event emitting modules for details".

How can I find out, what is those events for "connection lost" and "back to life", like lines abowe?

Thanks in advance

Those are emitted by ZWave module. Check for addNotification in the ZWave/index.js

Thank you very much about hint! :)

Found below, but could not understood/find if it is doing those events "emitting". I managed to add those 2 bolded lines and now I can catch those events in Event Watcher.

---
ZWave.prototype.deadDetectionCheckDevice = function (self, nodeId) {
var values = nodeId.toString(10),
langFile = this.loadModuleLang();

if (self.zway.devices[nodeId].data.isFailed.value) {
if (self.zway.devices[nodeId].data.failureCount.value === 2) {
self.addNotification("error", langFile.err_connct + values, "connection");
this.controller.emit("device.lostconnection");
}
} else {
self.addNotification("notification", langFile.dev_btl + values, "connection");
this.controller.emit("device.connectionback");
}
};
