ZWAVE aeotec multisensor

[kafre]

Hi,
I am quite new to home automation, but since begining this year I had been playing with RF 465Mhz devices and fhem.

I wanted to improve my home automation so I bought a Z-wave controller (aeon labs stick s2) and several aoetec multisensors (http://aeotec.com/z-wave-sensor).

Even though fhem (5.4 debian package) detect properly the controller and seems to autocreate the multisensors properly. I am not able to read anything from the sensor.

I am totally new to z-wave so it might be I am missing something.
when I try to read anything (get Zwave_1 battery) I always get the message that it will be retrieve after the next wakeup.
I tried to set the waveupinterval using the command (attr Zwave_1 wakeupinterval 1 60 ) thinking it will mean tha it will wakeup every 60second to notify association group 1
But I don't see anything in logs about a wakeup of the device

I found yesterday a xml from open-zwave which seemed to show some of the commands/config parameter it accepted. I cannot link it now because I can't find it right now.
But I just found this: http://www.smarthus.info/support/manuals/zw_sikkerhet/aeotec_multisensor_tech.pdf

I will be exploring it later today to check is but any help will be appreciated

By the way, I can't speak or read any German, sorry I am spanish and we barely can speak/write English, I am using google translator for German pages but It doesn't help much to my understanding

I'm afraid I dont know your problem, I can just give some general help to pinpoint it:

- check first the classes of the sensor (detail view of the autocreated device), and look them up in http://fhem.de/commandref.html#ZWave to see which of them is supported. It might be helpful to post them here if you need help

- ZWave sensors are sending regularly data only to the first associated device: please check if your controller is configured to be the correct one.

- you can wake up some battery-based sensors by pressing a button, this might help you to shorten the waiting time.

- I would start a second telnet window with inform timer enabled to see the events received from the device.

Sorry for reposting my previous post.
I was trying to edit the first post (I was re reading it I found one of the languages mistakes in it). But all my buttons appear in German language so I can only guess what the do.
Maybe if I change my language in my profile (I will try later).

Any way.
Rudolfkoenig, Thank for your help. I will be checking your tips. But I already where looking the command ref and it didn't helped much. I will try re reading it because always a second view (and and third, and ..) helps understanding things better..

By the way. In the previous version (5.3 I just upgrade to 5.4 yesterday) the event monitor in the web page used to show all events but seems not any more. Any tip on what to check to have this behavior back again.

Regards

There is another thread (in german) with people having problems with the Event monitor, but up till now I did not received a precise bug report, so I cannot reproduce it. I suspect the browser is also important, for me it is working with the current versions of Firefox, Safari and Chrome

Well It has happened to me (the Event monitor problem) with a upgraded fhem-5.4.deb from fhem-5.3.deb and with a brand new fhem-5.4.deb in a different PC.
About the browser, I where using Chrome (but I have some anti popup extensions). It seems to work properly from my Android Chrome. and not working in iceweasel(firefox in debian) 10.0.12esr-1~bpo60+1 with no extensions at all.

Hi again.

Yesterday, I was able to reset the controller using other software (Indigo free trial). I also set up the wakeup interval, some other things in the sensor.
After that, I plugged the controller in my fhem on raspi and now it wakes up, report movement with basicReport, battery, ...

As I set configuration config_65 225 (which as indicated in http://www.smarthus.info/support/manuals/zw_sikkerhet/aeotec_multisensor_tech.pdf) would mean to report to 1st association group Humidity, Temperature, Luminosity, and battery I was expecting to receive that info also (but I think I am too new to Zwave and it seems not work like that, I guess I have to ask for that info and it will report it back when it wakes up).

Ok the problem I find out is that is seems than fhem doesn't support SENSOR_MULTILEVEL yet (is SENSOR_MULTILEVEL in the developers road map at all?).
I can see that SENSOR_MULTILEVEL seems to be already supported by open-zwave library ( http://code.google.com/p/open-zwave/source/browse/trunk/cpp/src/command_classes/SensorMultilevel.cpp?spec=svn602&r=602, http://code.google.com/p/open-zwave/source/browse/trunk/cpp/src/command_classes/SensorMultilevel.h?r=290).

I will check is that is true, and I can compile it in the Raspberry and can use it to receive such info using it. If so -> I would first consider (tell me if I am talking rubbish) first use it as an external command or something or maybe try to port that functionality to fhem (This is going to be very difficult for me. First, i can program, but I am not a developer, I am much like a system engineer. But as I can understand some perl (actually I had done some scripting I use already in fhem with other devices) I don't fell like I will be able to modify something under /FHEM folder.
