[OBSOLETE] Z-Wave Tweaker

Not knowing what you are trying to accomplish will make my answer vague. However, the concept is to set a parameter you need to specify which parameter and what the value of it should be. Put that information in the parameter ID and parameter Value fields. Then it Done. If you then hit print params you watch the logs in the IDE to see that it is set.

You device instructions should tell you what parameters can be set in the device.

I am hoping for some help using this tweaker with the Aeotec Nano Dimmer. After changing the device handler to the tweaker, I am unable to connect to it via the SmartThings app. On the dashboard the message “Checking Status” is displayed. When I try and open the options for the device a message “Couldn’t connect to Light. Try again later.” is displayed.

I have tried closing the app and restarting the phone.

I would be grateful for any ideas please.

Are you using the new ST app? I’m pretty sure tweaker will only work with the SmartThings Classic app.

I am using the new one. Thanks for the info, I didn’t realise this. That puts me back to square one with setting the fade time on the light sadly. If anyone knows any alternative solution that would be great!

I don’t have a Aeotec Nano Dimmer so I’m not familiar with it. But, if you think Tweaker will do what you want, just download the SmartThings Classic app.

Such a simple suggestion, Classic app worked perfectly. Thank you!

I understand that Tweaker only works on mains-powered devices, but I tried it on a battery powered device (Monoprice Door/Window Sensor) and I was not able to get accurate information on it. My goal is to try to set up an association group with this device. What is the best way to do that if Tweaker doesn’t work?

Since this discussion will be offtopic for this particular thread, can you start a new thread, maybe something like “setting association for battery powered Z wave devices?” And then we can talk about the options.

Total noob question: will the tweaker work on zigbee devices? I need to change the temperature reporting interval of the iris contact sensor. Thanks

Nope, hence the title of the DTH :wink:

Ha! Thanks

I have spent all morning trying to achieve an association between 2 fibaro modules with zero success, would someone be kind enough to take a look at what I am doing and work out where I am going wrong.

My scenario is I have a dining room light connected to a Fibaro Dimmer 2 FGD-212 which works perfectly and controls the light how I would like.

I then have a kitchen light switch which I have converted to a double light switch and connected this to a Fibaro Switch 2 FGS-223 again this works perfectly, S1 turn my kitchen lights off and S2 shows the value within the Smartthings app as on or off when the second switch is toggled. Q2 is not actually physically connected to anything as the idea is to use Z-wave association to use the S2 from the FGS-223 to turn on and off the dining room light connected to the FGD-212.

After a bit of advice and reading of the manual it would seem to is done by changing the device handler on the Dimmer 2 FGD-212 which is connected to the dining room light and going into tweaker and setting the Association Group ID: to 4 see below taken from the Dimmer 2 Manual

which I have done as can be seen below

I have then set the group members to 0A-ep2 (I have also tried just 0A in case the -ep2 bit was causing issues) see below which shows my device network ID’s and why I have set it to 0A-ep2

I have tried leaving the command class alone and auto but neither setting makes a difference.

I then save this and put the device handler back to the original Dimmer 2 device handler, but nothing seems to change all the devices still continue to work the same through ST but the S2 on the FGS-223 still has no control over the dining room light.

I am obviously doing something wrong, missing out part of the process or just not understanding this all correctly, can someone please help me understand and help me get this working.

I am not sure if I am missing something that I need to change within the Switch 2 FGS-223 within tweaker? So far I understood that I would leave the Switch 2 alone and the changes would all be made within the Dimmer 2 and tweaker?

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer me, if any live logging is required please let me know and I will post it up

Ignore my last reply laying in bed i think I’ve realised it is the association for the switch 2 i need to change in tweaker not the dimmer 2!

I am trying to set up a TKBHOME TZ35D with the Z-Wave Tweaker to a second switch (works by association only) to control another Z-Wave unit.

I have managed to install the Z-Wave Tweaker fine and can view parameters and settings on the switch.

However all of this new to me. With a little assistance from a very helpful guy on this forum, I think I have managed to understand that setting a group as specified by the TZ35D manual and including the network ID of the Z-Wave device I want to control the switch will send the appropriate signal to the device directly and should have it working.

Group 4 gives me the functions I need from the switch (simple on and off commands)

These are the parameters I have changed

But the switch did not control the device, any ideas on what else I need to change would be useful, a screenshot of the parameters from a working one to give me a good example to follow would be great.

Also if anyone knows the base handler that is best, I am using “Z-Wave Switch Generic” but maybe that is not appropriate.

Any help much appreciated.

Tried to answer the question with the github documentation and the community forums but I’m not finding it. I just installed a GoControl WD500Z5-1 and companion WT00Z5-1 where a previous 3 way switch had been. I wired correctly, so that the 500z switches the load and the other is just a radio switch. I installed the z wave tweaker DTH and ran through setting up and syncing the association group (1 was the only option) and mapping it back to the 500z’s hex address. The 3way dimmer now, if pressed physically, turns the lights on and off (but no dimming). If operated in the app (back to generic dimmer switch DTH) it appears to do nothing. What have I done wrong? How do i enable the 3 way to dim and brighten as well? Thanks so much!

Association Group 1 is the lifeline group. It should only contain the your Hub’s zwave ID.
Below is from manual for the WT005-1. It looks like need to use group 3 for multilevel devices. From your post I can’t make out where you did the association. I think you did it in the WD500Z5-1 as that only has one group according to its manual. I’m not positive but here is what I would try:

  1. Use tweeker to put only the hub id in group 1 of the WD500z5-1
  2. If that does not get it work to restore ST control, then remove the device and re-add it to ST.
  3. Add the device ID for the WD500z5-1 to group3 of the WT00Z5-1.

Note: you can use the 4 tap method in the device instructions rather than tweaker setting up the association.

"The GoControl WT00Z5-1 supports three (3) Association Groups. Group
1 is the “Lifeline” group and must be assigned the Node ID of the Z-Wave
Controller to which unsolicited notifications from the WT00Z5-1 will be sent.
Group 1 supports a single Node ID. The Z-Wave Controller should set the
Lifeline Association automatically after inclusion. For instructions on how to
set Associations, please refer to your Z-Wave Controller instructions. Group
2 nodes will be sent BASIC On/Off commands and is intended to control
switches like the GoControl WS15Z5. Group 3 nodes will be sent Multilevel
Switch commands and is intended to control dimmers like the GoControl
WD500Z5. Groups 2 and 3 support up to five (5) Node IDs.
Associations can be created automatically without requiring the Z-Wave
Controller"

Scott,

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Sorry, been busy with real life until tonight. Re setup the dimmer (the 00Z, not the 500) with Tweaker and reset Association Group 1 to the hub ID. Logged out and put back in generic dimmer DTH. Tried the 4-tap and never got a blinking LED. However, I think they’ve associated as both are dimming and brightening from the switch. The 00Z (3 way dimmer) still does nothing in the app. This is fine for now as it works on the wall and I’ll always use the 500z to turn on and off from Alexa or in the app. It’s not setup all the way correctly but should work for my needs. Thanks for the good instructions.

Hi
I succeed associating multiple devices all linear, the thing there is one I keep getting this message
“parseAssocGroupInput(): Number of nodes and endpoints is greater than 1! The following node was discarded: A6”

I dont know what to do

Need the model number of your device.
