Unfortunately its easy to get the status lights out of sync with the controller, so I was using HS to keep them in sync (happens, for example, when All Lights Off is activated).
At the time, I wasn't using your UPB plugin, but HS's-so that's the next thing that different.Īnyway, is there any chance that I can tweak something with your plug-in or upe file to get these to show up as devices? The downside to these is that they are only an output-only controller normally, except that they have status lights that can be controlled. I have a pair of older Simply Automated UCT-08 devices (Tabletop Controller 8-Button) and when I was using HS2 these showed up as devices that I could control.
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro - Work Station HomeSeer Version: HS3 Standard Edition 3.0.0.368 (Windows) Zigbee (like the Philips) is getting more and more appealing to me although do they make appliance and dimmer plug in modules?
On the z-wave plugin page it shows this information currently for the SmartStick:Īny thoughts on how to troubleshoot this would be greatly appreciated!
To me it really looks like some kind of "throttled buffer" that's fully congested and so full it might drop data to process. This shows up like it's "trying" to run the event:Įvent Trigger "Family Room Toggle bookshelves mm 3"īut the toggled light doesn't turn on/off for a significant delay. On the HS3 log it shows the proper "Device: Family Room FR minimote-a Set to 60" type of log immediately when I press the button, but the action it's supposed to do doesn't happen. One thing, I use MiniMotes everywhere and they often "blink funny" when the event isn't going to process immediately. I'd really like to diagnose this and figure it out. Short of starting over (delete everything, reset stuff, add back one at a time) which sounds like a nightmare (events, some modules are inside wall boxes, etc. I was tempted to buy the HomeSeer remote z-wave Rpi thing but wasn't sure if that would help at all. Maybe there's a different Z-wave module (other than SmartStick+) that I should try out?Ĥ. Mentioning this because the HS3+JowiHue+Philips Hub all work great without any delays or weirdness.ģ.
Plus they're on a separate system so they're reliable. They're reliable, neat, and the JowiHue plugin lets me do some cool stuff. I have moved most of my lighting to Philips Hue, and love it. Nothing I would call critical, just some plug-in appliance modules that are not in use. I have a bunch (5-10) devices that are offline. Here are some facts that might jump out at someone more knowledgeable here:ġ.
I tried different USB ports, as well as removed the extension cable I was using to get the SmartStick+ up high in the house. I played with the COM port settings regarding UARTs. I swapped the SmartStick+ with another spare new one, restored my setup on it and it still does the same thing. Went back to my Intel NUC win 10 version since it didn't help. 3.0.1.208 although it didn't seem to make any difference. I also tried running the beta z-wave plugin v. I've rebooted many times and even added a restart plugin to restart HS3 each night to no avail.
I've tried a new PC with a fresh install of Win 7 Pro and HS3, with a restore of the previous system and I still see the delays. I haven't had a lot of luck using the Z-Seer tool to find anything interesting, and I've tried optimizing some nodes I feel are important. I did notice first thing in the morning (or after a long period of inactivity) responses are usually instant (like they used to be). And now the lights often quick cycle on and off a couple to a few times in quick succession, often not ended up where it needs to be. Z-wave events now take anywhere from 5-30 seconds to switch on & off lights. Hi, I've been a very satisfied HS3 user for quite some time and have (had) a super high WAF! But now even my approval factor is quite low.
