ZWave commander

Post by joepadmiraal »

I am trying to make DomotiGa (rev 368) to control my ACT dimmers.
DomotiGa recognises my AEON Labs Z-Wave Stick.
When I use the ZWave commander screen to change the slider of the dimmer, nothing happens.
When I click a few times on the slider, the dimmer suddenly reacts.
I can control the dimmer reliably with the same Z-Wave Stick from HomeSeer, so the hardware is not an issue.

Is anyone using DomotiGa in combination with a ZWave stick?
Do you see similar problems?
What can I do to investigate this problem further?

Thanks,
Joep

I discovered a little problem with the slider.
The event slDim_MouseUp() is used to send the value of the slider to the zwave stick.
In this event, the value of slDim is not updated yet.
Therefore, the previous value of slDim is send to the zwave stick.
I moved the code to the slDim_Change() event and it looks like the correct values are send now.

However about 1/4th of the time, the dimmer does not react to the new value.
I added a zip file with two copy's of the debug output.
One is a copy when the dimmer did go to the new value.
The other one is a copy when nothing happened.

I hope someone with some zwave or domotiga experience could look at it.
Thanks in advance,
