[OBSOLETE] Enhanced Z-Wave Garage Door Controller GD00Z-4/GD00Z-5/Linear/GoControl/Iris/Nortek Device Handler with Switch and Automated Garage Door Open/Close when People Arrive/Leave/Timer [OBSOLETE]

RBoy · December 12, 2015, 2:00pm

Improved the low battery detection and reporting mechanism (this it the garage door position sensor battery) in version 2.1.3

RBoy · December 30, 2015, 7:06pm

Added support for sending momentary notifications for SmartApps to use (e.g. Trigger based pictures)

Thanks Ron! This baby rocks it. I am using it in conjunction with @kevintierney Securifi Key Fob device type New Zigbee Device (Securifi Key Fob)

Rboy, I contributed the $10 and I’m using your zwave device type downloaded today but still shows unknown status but door functions fine manually & via app. Please advise? Thanks.

bradgarland · January 7, 2016, 6:42pm

Rboy, disregard last message. Fiddled with it enough it I got it, thanks.

Ron,
I’m using this code and it’s great, no problems at all, so thank you.

Do you happen to have a copy of it that adds a battery level tile and reports the battery level of the door sensor?

Thanks

RBoy · January 7, 2016, 11:57pm

No issues, first time it takes a few minutes to get everything to populate. Just hit refresh a couple of times and wait a few minutes while forces the controller to resync with the door sensor.

Ron · January 8, 2016, 2:07am

Sorry no I have not added that feature yet. Does it even have battery status reporting ?

bamarayne · January 8, 2016, 2:19am

Reading the threads it send that the rboy voice had this on out, but they want money for it.

I like your code, it’s working perfect with echo and ST. So I thought I would ask.

Ron · January 8, 2016, 2:22am

I would like the feature so willing to add it. I just need to find the engineering specs for the GD00Z-4 so I can determine what code the device sends for battery status and how to configure it to send the zwave signals.

Maybe if I watch the logs I can catch it sending a battery status. When I find a window of opportunity to do so. If you find the specs anywhere let me know.

Ron · January 8, 2016, 2:24am

Actually there is code in there…
case 0x4A:
if (cmd.eventParameter[0]) {
map.descriptionText = “$device.displayName door sensor ${cmd.eventParameter[0]} has a low battery”
} else {
map.descriptionText = “$device.displayName door sensor has a low battery”
}
result << createEvent(name: “battery”, value: 1, unit: “%”, descriptionText: map.descriptionText)
break

I think I can finish that off it is correct. I will give it a shot.

Ron · January 8, 2016, 6:43am

@bamarayne OK battery reporting should be working with lastest version

Thank you so much!

I updated and it doesn’t seem to work… The tile was there for a minute and then it was gone…

Not sure if in doing something wrong.

Ron · January 8, 2016, 7:23am

It should look list this, yes I know I need a new battery.

bamarayne · January 8, 2016, 7:30am

It does, but the tile goes away if I navigate away.

Ron · January 8, 2016, 7:42am

I don’t understand. What do you mean by navigate away ?

I can open the device details in things (or from a room) and then i can return back to things and open the details again and the tile remains.

BTW: I am on Android…You ?

bamarayne · January 8, 2016, 2:43pm

I’m on Android.
I meant that I can trace and republish the divorce type, go to the garage door page in the app and the tile is there. If I then go to a different spout in the app and come back to the garage door the tile is gone. Refresh doesn’t help.

I tabbed and republish again and now the tile is there, and staying there.

But it is not showing a battery status like in your screenshot above.

It just had two. –

Ron · January 8, 2016, 7:25pm

Hmm… I don’t know when the GDZ reports battery. I am betting it happens when the door is opened or closed. Have you operated the door since updating the code ?

I am away so I can’t test that without confusing folks in my house that the door keeps opening and closing I can check tonight.

I added debug code to try to figure out when it runs (in my ide not in github yet). I also added battery and notification get commands to refresh but nothing happens when I Issue these.

Stroh · January 8, 2016, 8:57pm

[I edited your quote above a bit to fix what I’m guessing was autocorrect. If I got the context wrong I apologize.]

I was having the same issue. I installed this device type and went to check it out. Everything was there. I left the page to do something else and it was a blank page. I didn’t have to reinstall though, I was able to leave the tab and come back and it hasn’t happened since. (Edit: it did happen again. My screen went to sleep when I put the phone down. When I unlocked it the screen was blank white, but after a few seconds it refreshed and displayed correctly)

I’m also getting the – instead of a reading. I remotely opened and closed the door and it did not refresh. Perhaps it is an infrequent timed interval that it is reported to conserve battery.

@Ron What are the two icons next to the battery status? One seems a duplicate of the large icon, and the other turned blue when my door was open and grey as above when closed.

bamarayne · January 8, 2016, 8:58pm

I had not tried it, but I just did.
Still nothing.
When I get home on my computer I’m going to delete the device type completely and start it all over.
Maybe that will work.
