[OBSOLETE] Lightwave RF Integration (UK)

@bobbles with the app room and device ID’s, if you change the order of the devices within the app they will still have the original ID

So if i delete the first device, the next in line wont be move upto Device 1 it will still have device ID 2 (R1D2)

Hope this makes sense if not let me no and ill try and explain lol

Sorry for what i feel is a real noob question (and tbh it is) but I’ve searched the topic but not found a similar issue - i get a security error reported in the ST logs when i try and use the device:

1af0abb0-efb2-47af-bc1b-a3cdaa7e9a19 20:26:22: debug Security error 1 - command refused
1af0abb0-efb2-47af-bc1b-a3cdaa7e9a19 20:26:19: debug Executing 'on’
1af0abb0-efb2-47af-bc1b-a3cdaa7e9a19 20:26:11: debug Security error 1 - command refused
1af0abb0-efb2-47af-bc1b-a3cdaa7e9a19 20:26:09: debug Executing ‘off’

My LWRF account is a new one and uses a password not a pin, which i’ve used in the config for the device. Any ideas?

Thank you.

has anyone else got the server running but getting endless attempt 1 …2…3… sending message: 006,R1D1F0
The app sends the command to the pi ok but the pi cant send the command to the wifilink

@marklones Sounds like you haven’t pressed the “Register” button in the ST app to me. Check this thread for further info (search Register), but that is all you will need to do to stop the endless attempts.

@skazer Not sure about the logs but to test, what happens when you enter “YOUR_RASBERY_PI_IP:8000” in a browser on a PC?

If you get …

No route registered for /

… then your Node server is working fine, which would suggest any issues would be on the SmartThings API side.

I have Lightwaverf dimmers and sockets that ST manages via a Raspberry Pi to the Lightwave Hub.
The issue i am having is that if the socket is on and I have a power cut, wben the power comes back on, the socket remains off. ST thinks it is on.
Is there a way that I can automatically return the LWRF devices back to the state they were before the power failure.
Thanks in advance.

Has anybody integrated the Lightwave PIR sensor?
I know you pair it to a Switch or socket to turn it on with motion but i wondered if they could be used independently.

I believe the Lightwave PIR Sensor is really just like any other Lightwave switch and communicates with the Lightwave Socket/Relay directly.

Therefore they never talk to the Wifi link directly and unfortunately because the system does not have state of the light available to query the PIR can’t be integrated with anything else like SmartThings. If you want to use a PIR for anything other than just Lightwave devices i.e. things on SmartThings I suggest using a Zigbee or ZWave protocol PIR and trigger LWRF using the integration. I do this with Aeon Labs devices and it works fine.

@Tim_Flinders I can confirm that this was my findings too. I have tried to use with ST but failed. The LWRF PIR cannot be integrated as far as I can tell. Zwave is certainly the way to go here, something like the Everspring will do it.

Thanks @Chris_Lambourne and @Tim_Flinders.
I thought this was the case but just wanted it confirmed.
I already have other types of pir sensors but have 1 LWRF and wondered if it could be integrated.

Another question for you LW peeps.
Has anyone managed to integrate LW into IFTTT.
I can see LW in the THEN part of IFTTT but not in the IF part.
Anyone tried this?

Hi Bob,

Nope. I suppose this is because it is usually something else that triggers
the light or switch. E.g. sunset > turn on light.

I mainly use the Maker for LW.

Hi Chris,
What I’m trying to get to is when a switch/outlet etc. is turned on manually using my finger (heaven forbid) it updates ST.
Now this can be done if ST turns on a light/switch using IFTTT.

This way I keep LW up to date if ST does something.
I’m now trying to do the same in reverse. i.e. If I turn on a LW device manually it updates ST.
Can’t seem to find a way to do it on IFTTT.

I recall LWRF devices are one way and they are stateless. What you are
referring to is opposite to that, so I don’t believe that is possible.

Just search for “one way” in this thread, it’s the Achilles heel of LWRF.

Cheers
Chris

Hi All,

New to Smartthings and just getting the basics up and running.

Have read most of the topics for using other sockets and intergration with Smartthings.

Question I have is can using the nodejs server for local UDP transmission mean I do not need to have a LightwaveRD Link hub ???

Just do not want to have loads of hubs all other the place.

Cheers

I’m afraid not.
ST communicates to the Raspberry Pi which then ‘talks’ to the Lightwave Hub.

It’s the Lightwaverf hub that sends the radio signal to the devices to turn them on or off, so it’s vital.

thanks @bobbles and @Tim_Raynor for the reply…

Looks like fibaro dimmers are the way forward for the moment then… cheers :slight_smile:

has anyone got the lightwaverf heating (thermostats and TRV’s) working with ST?
I have my light switches running with the pi server would be nice if i could get the heating working too

if its not been done i will see if i can get my mate who is into programming to have a look for me and upload what we get working

Short answer, don’t believe anyone has yet. There is a groovy for ST API for Evohome TRVs, that may be a good starting point for your mate.

I have been looking at the heating side of automation for a while now. I read a lot of negative reviews for the LWRF TRVs, mainly regarding excessive noise, and its timer function isn’t 24/7. I am not ready to commit to a heating setup right now, but if I were, it would probably be the Honeywell Evohome.
