Aeon Labs keyfob - Job 0x4a (Add/re-include node to network)

[Sparkacus]

Hey Chaps,

I'm having a real horrid time getting my Aeon keyfob to work.

It used to work but since the z-way 2.2.0 update I noticed it just vanished. That's not to say the update is at fault, but it's odd.

I spent hours on this going as far as excluding all devices (I don't have that many yet), re-imaging, device factory reset, the lot, but still I cannot get the device to include properly.

I even restored z-way to the the Pi image 2.1.2, but still the same issue.


When including the following occurs:

Code: Select all

I've replaced the battery, so it's not that.

I've followed the manual on how to reset the Keybob, i.e pressing the mode button with a pin for 20 seconds, then changed the mode from 'setup' to 'use', but still when trying to include the device the above occurs.

I've tried including via unsecure too, but the same problem.


Excluding the device works fine:

Any ideas?

I'm in no way a z-way expert, but is "Node found: #0" the issue?

When adding my Aeon multisensor 6, it had a node id which incremented each time it was included. (Re-including that device was a royal pain too, but for another thread.)

[Sparkacus]

After hours and hours of include/re-include/remove I finally got it to work.

I wish I could tell you what the answer was but I don't know. I went for the hammer approach in the end, i.e throw the instructions in the bin and press every button, bash every pin until the fob submitted.


After a gazillion factory resets z-way finally allowed the device to include, but I still couldn't use the fob in 'use' mode. Once included I changed the mode on the fob, but each button press resulted in the led being red.

Maybe this is unrelated, but I had the same issue with the Aeon multisensor in that when I re-included\included etc the device, in the device 'Association' tab 'Z-way' was listed but with warning sign. This happened on both Aeon products.

It seems the only way I could get them to work correctly was to remove the association and then add it again, which got rid of the warning and suddenly both devices would work, i.e the fob buttons and the multi sensor output such as tampering, motion etc.


If anyone has anything they could input as to how I got this working it would be most appreciated.

I mainly need to figure out if this was a device\manufacturer issue, or a standard complicated configuration with z-wave, which I'm new too. Kinda disappointed at the moment, but maybe I need to better understand it all.

Are there any tools I could have used to see why the include wouldn't function to begin with? The config had logging set to 0, which I believe is debug, so not sure what else I could have done.
