DWZWAVE2 - ZWave |
{% include base.html %}
This describes the Z-Wave device DWZWAVE2, manufactured by Ecolink with the thing type UID of eco_dwzwave2_00_000.
The device is in the category of Door, defining Door sensors.
The DWZWAVE2 supports routing. This allows the device to communicate using other routing enabled devices as intermediate routers. This device is unable to participate in the routing of data from other devices.
The DWZWAVE2 does not permanently listen for messages sent from the controller - it will periodically wake up automatically to check if the controller has messages to send, but will sleep most of the time to conserve battery life. Refer to the Wakeup Information section below for further information.
- Z-Wave enabled device which provides open/closed status
- Transmits open/closed status
- Reports tamper condition when cover is open
- Remove the battery for at least 5 seconds,
- Reinstall the battery
- Replace the sensor cover
- Remove the battery from the Sensor.
- Leave the battery out for at least ten (10) seconds.
- Reinstall the battery into the Sensor.
The DWZWAVE2 does not permanently listen for messages sent from the controller - it will periodically wake up automatically to check if the controller has messages to send, but will sleep most of the time to conserve battery life. The wakeup period can be configured in the user interface - it is advisable not to make this too short as it will impact battery life - a reasonable compromise is 1 hour.
The wakeup period does not impact the devices ability to report events or sensor data. The device can be manually woken with a button press on the device as described below - note that triggering a device to send an event is not the same as a wakeup notification, and this will not allow the controller to communicate with the device.
Press the "+" button once.
The following table summarises the channels available for the DWZWAVE2 -:
| Channel Name | Channel ID | Channel Type | Category | Item Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Binary Sensor | sensor_door | sensor_door | Door | Contact |
| Alarm | alarm_general | alarm_general | Alarm | Switch |
| Battery Level | battery-level | system.battery_level | Battery | Number |
Indicates if the door/window is open or closed.
The sensor_door channel is of type sensor_door and supports the Contact item and is in the Door category. This is a read only channel so will only be updated following state changes from the device.
The following state translation is provided for this channel to the Contact item type -:
| Value | Label |
|---|---|
| OPEN | Open |
| CLOSED | Closed |
Indicates if an alarm is triggered.
The alarm_general channel is of type alarm_general and supports the Switch item and is in the Alarm category. This is a read only channel so will only be updated following state changes from the device.
The following state translation is provided for this channel to the Switch item type -:
| Value | Label |
|---|---|
| OFF | OK |
| ON | Alarm |
Represents the battery level as a percentage (0-100%). Bindings for things supporting battery level in a different format (e.g. 4 levels) should convert to a percentage to provide a consistent battery level reading.
The system.battery-level channel is of type system.battery-level and supports the Number item and is in the Battery category.
This channel provides the battery level as a percentage and also reflects the low battery warning state. If the battery state is in low battery warning state, this will read 0%.
The following table provides a summary of the 2 configuration parameters available in the DWZWAVE2. Detailed information on each parameter can be found in the sections below.
| Param | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sending Basic Sets to Association group 2 | Sending Basic Sets to Association group 2 |
| 2 | Sending sensor binary report | Sending sensor binary report |
| Wakeup Interval | Sets the interval at which the device will accept commands from the controller | |
| Wakeup Node | Sets the node ID of the device to receive the wakeup notifications |
Sending Basic Sets to Association group 2
The following option values may be configured -:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Off |
| 255 | On |
The manufacturer defined default value is 0 (Off).
This parameter has the configuration ID config_1_1 and is of type INTEGER.
Sending sensor binary report
The following option values may be configured -:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Off |
| 255 | On |
The manufacturer defined default value is 0 (Off).
This parameter has the configuration ID config_2_1 and is of type INTEGER.
The wakeup interval sets the period at which the device will listen for messages from the controller. This is required for battery devices that sleep most of the time in order to conserve battery life. The device will wake up at this interval and send a message to the controller to tell it that it can accept messages - after a few seconds, it will go back to sleep if there is no further communications.
This setting is defined in seconds. It is advisable not to set this interval too short or it could impact battery life. A period of 1 hour (3600 seconds) is suitable in most instances.
Note that this setting does not affect the devices ability to send sensor data, or notification events.
This parameter has the configuration ID wakeup_interval and is of type INTEGER.
When sleeping devices wake up, they send a notification to a listening device. Normally, this device is the network controller, and normally the controller will set this automatically to its own address. In the event that the network contains multiple controllers, it may be necessary to configure this to a node that is not the main controller. This is an advanced setting and should not be changed without a full understanding of the impact.
This parameter has the configuration ID wakeup_node and is of type INTEGER.
Association groups allow the device to send unsolicited reports to the controller, or other devices in the network. Using association groups can allow you to eliminate polling, providing instant feedback of a device state change without unnecessary network traffic.
The DWZWAVE2 supports 2 association groups.
Association Group 1 Association group one is intended for but not limited to controllers. All nodes whose Node ID that have been set in Association group one will receive all unsolicited Alarm Report frames, and Basic Report frames of 0x00 and 0xFF. When a sensor such as a door or window sensor is opened/faulted, the sensor will send a Basic Report to nodes in Association group one and a Basic Set of 0xFF to Association group two. When the door or window is closed the sensor will send a Basic Report of 0x00 to only group one.
Association group 1 supports 5 nodes.
Association Group 2 Association group two is intended for any device Ecolink Z-Wave Command Class Specification 2 that is controllable with a Basic Set of 0xFF such as lights, sirens, or chimes. When a sensor such as a door or window sensor is opened/faulted, the sensor will send a Basic Report to nodes in Association group one and a Basic Set of 0xFF to Association group two. When the door or window is closed the sensor will send a Basic Report of 0x00 to only group one. The Configuration command class can configure the sensor to send Basic Sets of 0x00 to nodes in group two (turning devices off).
Association group 2 supports 5 nodes.
