Iām going to back off of this one until @Robert_Vandervoort provides some input. I havenāt been able to get the code to function correctly and when I try to edit it to solve the problem it makes things worse.
I wonāt go in the bathroom with @Robert_Vandervoort and @smart but I will test whatever they come up with in there!
Thanks to everyone for the device type code. My experience is the same as #droidguru - the wireless remote does not seem to create any activity log entries, even though it is able to trigger the doorbell.
Steps I followed so far:
Plug in doorbell speaker to power outlet
Put battery into wireless remote
Create new device type based on #thoward1234ās code , replace one function as per @duncanās post. Further, I also had to change the multiAttributeTile type from āthermostatā to ālightingā to get the slider to show up (Android phone).
Press button on doorbell speaker to go to pairing mode, add device in ST
At this point, the wireless device will not work. So need to follow #JDRobertsās tip
Once paired, make sure the remote is NOT in your hand, as #TheSmartestHouse mentions. Holding the wireless remote in the hand to press the button kills the signal completely. Given this, I am wondering if this will work with the remote outside the house ā¦
Bottomline, I am not seeing notifications by triggering the doorbell from the wireless remote. Please let me know if I am missing anything.
because Iām dependent on text to speech, I cannot read the code (trust me, you donāt want to try to do groovy with text-to-speech).
Based on the user manual for this device, the lifeline group is association group one, not association Two. Theyāre using group two for scene management which smartthings does not support.
Here is the developer documentation. Look for the section on association and it will explain.
Also I would definitely verify the current associations. Configuration can be really tricky for sleepy devices. They may sleep through part of it. If youāre trying to configure several different things as part of initial pairing, they may just not all get set. So itās always good to verify.
Re: Point 6. We tested the device with the wireless button lying down on our porch table and both controller and speaker being 2 rooms across from the porch door and it worked just fine. Itās not that the button doesnāt handle any obstruction, itās specifically about the interference caused by human body conductivity.
Let us know if you do experience any range issues though and we will pass it on to Aeotec.
Same here about 30 feet and through walls unfortunately without a working device type this is the same as a $15 ādumbā doorbell via Amazon so I canāt recommend it to anyone.
Has anyone had luck turning on basic reports for parameter 80? Im trying to build a simply smart app to send push notifications when the doorbell button is pressed. I cannot even seem to get the doorbell presses to show up in the log.
Through some playing; I got it working. I experimented with the Association commands followed by command 80. Eventually it started working. I am still trying to replicate it. Right now I am getting notifications and reports.
Iāve been doing the same, however with no luck. Assuming everything you did was based on the code within this thread, correct? Iāve tried changing between Association Groups 1 and 2, and different ways of setting the parameter, nothing seems to work. Am I at least correct in that I should be seeing the doorbell press in the SmartThings Live Logging?
I have been tinkering in the same exact section, referencing documentation found in another tread. According to that it should be group 1, parameter 80, setting it to 2. Thank you for your help, I will keep testing to see what I can figure out.
Based on user manual, it looks like the doorbell uses group one for the lifeline (including notifications) and group two for zwave scene management (which smartthings does not fully support).
Iām assuming the chime shows up as a Z wave device in the IDE and the button itself doesnāt show up at all. Is that correct? Iām not talking that the logs, just talking about the list of devices.
Iām looking for any method by which I can send notifications when the doorbell button is pressed. Im using the Notify Me When SmartApp as the basis for my code, but I cannot get anything to register other than the siren being set off.
I disagree ā Smartthings can handle scene reports. Thatās how the minimote and the enerwave work. It canāt build scenes natively and configure the sending device etc.
