Nortek Linear GoControl Z-Wave Multisensor ST Edge Driver help needed (WADWAZ-1)

I have one of these devices from several years ago that always ran well in IDE with this custom device handler. The advantage to this sensor, in my opinion, is that it has two inputs and a tamper switch. One magnetic contact and one set of terminals to accept an external set of contacts. It also takes a CR123A battery that lasts a very long time. In my application, I need a battery powered device as I am monitoring a custom control box I built for my well water that senses water leaks and shuts off a 220v contactor as well as telling me the current state of mains power using a relay. In preparation of the changeover to Edge only (this is my last device to convert) I went ahead and deleted the device handler from IDE and added the device again from scratch. The device is natively supporte…

Nortek open-close sensor delayed response

Copying some text from a conversation in the Facebook group: I think this is a bug as it just started happening for me: I have a few of the Go-Control door sensors (Nortek Open/Closed Sensor) that were working fine until today, Now they are always showing Open regardless of the door position, if you close the door they will pulse closed in the app for a second and then register as open even though the reed switch is closed in the sensor. If I open and close a door that is showing closed (one that hasn’t been used for a while) it starts to exhibit the same behaviour) Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Note: I also excluded and re-added the sensors (more than one) numerous times with the same results I can confirm the same with my one operating Nortek sensor - I think tha…

Gocontrol door sensor always open

I have the linear WADWAZ-1 doors/window sensors that have been in use for a long while. all of a sudden they are very unreliable. they are not working properly. they will show open while the door is closed. I can watch the app and when I close the door the switch will go from close to back open in less than a second. I have tried performing the zwave rebuild many times and it will work/fix them for a while, then all of a sudden they go back to normally open. you can watch the app and it will blink open when I close the door and never show closed. they are reporting super fast but always open. this is happening to all 4 door sensors in my system so its hard to believe its the switch. I have changed out the batteries with no changes I have tried to update the drive from the choice in th…

Link to Masquerade driver - installation instructions in first post:

[ST Edge] Z-Wave Masquerade

This driver allows simple z-wave devices, such as switches and binary sensors, to act as a different type of device. A typical use would be to make a z-wave contact sensor appear in the SmartThings app as a smoke detector. Profiles are included for: Acceleration sensors Alarms Carbon monoxide detectors Contact sensors Leak sensors Locks Motion sensors Presence Smoke detectors Switches Tamper alerts Temperature alarms Water level sensor (custom capability with low/normal/high states) Water valves Window shades Use the settings menu to swap between profiles (you may need to close and reopen the app to see the new profile). A setting is also available to invert the reported status. To use, enroll using the Channel Invitation and install the driver (choose the latest version if multiple a…
