Re: multiple sensors and vera
Posted: 16 Feb 2018 02:51
Has any progress progress been made with this?
I purchased a Z-UNO two weeks ago and on the first night had no problems controlling multiple relays. However, I have spent every night for the two weeks since struggling to make inputs work.
They show up in the Vera, but no matter what I do I only get feedback for the first. I have polling OFF and depending upon the two-way communication of Z-Wave Plus.
Now, I understand the Z-UNO documentation makes it abundantly clear this is intentional. That only the FIRST of the same type of sensor will report back.
However I am completely stumped as to what you are meant to do about this. There's all this talk about de-coupling from the "life line", using association groups, multi command classes, and other buzz talk. No code, no examples, just buzz works that make no sense to me.
For example:
1. "Set parameter 12" - no difference
2. "Please try to remove node #1 (controller is usually it is #1) from the the Association group #1 and add in MCA #1:0 (channel 0 of the controller)" - what in the world does this mean?!?
3. "Multi channels are not available in the user interface, only by raw commands" - okay, but still no help?
I'm thinking I am missing something really obvious - you would think you simply create inputs just like you do outputs and they simply work, but I have been pounding my head with this for two weeks and am incredibly frustrated.
I simply want a second, third, fourth sensor to work with zuneSendReport(x) commands...?
I have a Vera Plus so am thinking this thread might be related - but if that were the case surely Z-UNO and/or Vera would work together on this. And if so, why does the documentation and posts here acknowledge that there IS some complication with multiple inputs that you're meant to work around... except no example of how to do so. And in fact, the 10 channel example code has no such workarounds... so why all the talk of there being complications when the example program doesn't even acknowledge this as being required, but all the talk of it being required having no examples. Really really stumped what is going on here...
