[OBSOLETE] ZOOZ ZSE40 4-in-1 Sensor Device Handler

I’ve recently purchased 3 of these and they are now up and running fine.

The motion sensor seems as responsive as the Enerwave ZWN-RSM2 sensors I have but with the addition of a humidity, temp and lights sensor (for the same price as the enerwave on amazon).
It is also a secure zwave plus device.

I’ve had no trouble with getting events reported by the device, the z-wave stuff just seems to work, it joins fine with the updated 14.39 hub firmware that supports v2 zwave joins better than it used to.

The temperature and humidity sensors seems to be accurate and match the readings from other sensors.

The light sensor (which I don’t need) reached max value in fairly low light conditions IMHO, but I’ve never had one of these before so I don’t have anything to compare against.

The only issue I have is battery life, it seems to drop to 1% of battery within a few weeks and then sits on 1% for a couple of months before needing changing.

I wrote a device handler to get this to work, sharing it here (updated 1/24/17).
More comments in the code regarding my experiences setting the device up for optimal battery use.

Updated to support newer versions of Zooz sensor 1/24/17

/* change history

Initial version : may 2016
Update 1 : november 12th 2016
- battery low warning fixed, previous the battery level would show 255% when it was low, now
  it shows the battery is low
- read the battery level every day, previously it would only update when the config was changed
- fix descriptions on sensor levels
- changed some default values to improve battery life
Update 2&3 : december 31st 2016
- add primary display option to allow temperature or motion to be the primary display
- fix help text on LED Mode
Update 4: january 1st 2017
- re-read battery level after tamper, causes battery level to be updated more quickly 
  after batteries are replaced
- re-send config to Zooz after tamper as sometimes config parameters get reset after battery
  change
- Use BasicSet for motion notification as the burglar events can be unreliable
Update 5: january 24th 2017
- add "Illumination Sensor Update" setting to turn off illumination update events, 
previously if you set the illumination change level to 0 to disable this
- min value for luminosity changed to 5
- Fixed bug in motion sensor introduced in Update 4. This could cause the device handler to fail to
  report motion events
- Add signature for newer version of the device so it is recognized by this device handler

/*
Device handler for ZOOZ ZSE40 4-in-1 sensor.
 
To add the zooz to a smart things network do the following:

1) Add this device handler to your "My Device Handlers" in the developer IDE.

2) Make sure you save *and* publish the new device in "My Device Handlers" in the IDE.

3) Find the "Z Wave Button" on the zooz. It is shown on the instructions that come with the Zoos,
it is a small hole on one edge of the Zooz next to a row of slightly larger holes, find something
that you can press it with, pin or something

4) Put the batteries into the zooz, close the case.

5) Get really close to the Smart Things hub, the zooz is a secure device and needs to talk directly 
to the hub, you can move it later once it is pared.

6) In the smart things app on you phone "add a new thing" and select Connect New Device, your phone 
will say it is looking for a new thing.

7) Press the z wave button twice quickly, the zooz will flash 6 times, about 30 seconds later
your phone will say it found a "ZOOZ ZSE40 4-in-1 Sensor"

NOTE: If something goes wrong with the secure pairing the device might show up as a "z-wave door/window sensor".
If you are not close to the hub when you pair it can cause it to show up like this.
You can fix this by deleting the device and re-adding or by going to the IDE and changing the device type 
to "ZOOZ ZSE40 4-in-1 sensor".

The device "raw description" in the IDE should start with this:
zw:Ss type:0701 
If it starts with "zw:S" (i.e. no little s) then the secure join has failed, you should
delete the device and try again (if you care about secure mode).

8) Name your device and select your configuration options. (You can come back and change these later at any time)

Biggest thing to think of when choosing the settings is battery life, you can set the settings in
a way that will drain the battery quickly if you are not careful.

- Primary Display: Select Motion or Temperature, (default Motion). This tells the device handler whether to
display the temperature or the motion in the main menu on your phone.

- Motion Sensor Idle Time (minutes) (default 3 mins): this tells the zooz how long it has to detect no
motion before sending a "no motion detected" event back to the ST hub. Min 1 min, max 255 mins.
If you set this too low the zooz will send lots of motion/no-motion events and this drains the battery.

- Motion Sensor Sensitivity (1 high - 7 low) (default 4): sets how sensitive the zooz is, 1 is most sensitive
7 is least sensitive. Experimaent to see what works for you.

- Sensort updates: enable/disable. When enabled the Zooz will send temperature, humidity and lumination events to the hub
at the levels configured. When disabled the hub will read the temperature, humidity and luminosity value once every 
"Wake interval" (see below for wake interval).

- Temperature change level (1/10th °C) (default 10): (0.1°C - 5°C) The zooz only sends temperature info to the hub when the 
temp changes by at least this value.
If you set this too low the zooz will send lots of temp change events and this drains the battery.

- Humidity change level (default 50): The zooz only sends humidity info to the hub when the 
humidity changes by at least this vale.
If you set this too low the zooz will send lots of humidity change events and this drains the battery.

- Illumination change level (default 50): The zooz only sends illumination info to the hub when the 
illumination changes by at least this value.
If you set this too low the zooz will send lots of illumination change events which will drain the battery.

- Wake Interval (minutes) (default: 60 mins). The zooz is a sleepy device because it runs off a battery, this
setting tells it how often to wake up to see if you've changed its configuration. 
When the zooz wakes up this driver reads the Temperature, Humidy and Illumination value from the Zooz, 
so unless sensors are at alert levels this interval is also controls how often the sensor values get updated.
If you make a configuration change to the Zooz, you have to wait up to the "Wake Interval" before it takes 
effect. (you can speed this up by pressing the z wave button on the zooz once, this forces the Zooz to 
wake up early).
The lower you set this value the faster the battery will drain.

- Led mode (1, 2 or 3) (default: 3)
Option 1 - LED off
Option 2 - LED is has a different color depending on the temperature, "breadth mode"
Option 3 - LED will blink when motion is detected or the temp goes below the alert level

Option 1 is best for the battery life, option 2 is the worst.

Thank you!

I was looking at these

Great. Thanks for the info!

Excellent work sir! I just received a ZSE40 today and had pre-published your DH in anticipation. ST recognized your device type off of a generic inclusion (great job on the fingerprint). Paired securely on the first shot.

So far so good, I kept the default parameters will wait and see how battery life goes.

I appreciate your contribution, and your recommendation by proxy. I had not even heard of this particular device until this post showed up yesterday.

Thanks again!

I’ve got my devices running with the defaults as well with the exception of the LED setting. I turned it off completely because I found the blinking when it detected motion annoying at night.

Thanks! I tried it out and while the reading for all four sensor show up in the ST IDE, the app only shows motion, secure, and battery (as if its only a motion sensor). Any ideas?

The app on your phone?

The temp, humidity and light sensors should all show up in the multi-tile view on your phone, just below the motion sensor.

This is what it looks like on my android phone.

Ahh i overlooked that. I was expecting tiles (and the values don’t populate for the first minute or so, so all I see is “–”).

FWIW I would much rather see tiles like the AEON multi sensor uses as my main use for this is not motion.

I’m going to stick with this device handler (Zooz ZSE40 4-1 Motion Sensor and other Zooz devices (ZSE01, ZSE02)) but i appreciate that you made one and responded so quickly!

Hi I dont know alot about computer stuff but I would like to get one of these sensors… IF I were to get one I would just need to change it from generic to an areon 6 sensor

Hello
How does one change the Parameter on a Z-Wave Plus 4-in-1 Sensor ZSE40…
Thank you advanced

Hi way2fast4u,

Basically you need to install a device handler for the ZOOZ 4-in-1. ZOOZ ZSE40 4-in-1 Sensor Device Handler (also posted by @JDRoberts) has such a device handler along with instructions about how to install it and configure the Zooz parameters.

Hello Thanks for the info. I will see if my son will help me add a device handler. I have no idea on how to do it.

I’ve just discovered this one and recommend:

This one didn’t work for me, got fed up of trying. For someone I wasn’t even getting any debug messages. I had to switch to an alternative one on the ZooZ website to get it to start working.

Which???

I have my 2 “working” but not all that well. Seems to stick on “motion” forever even though I have set the time to 1 minute. Worst yet was when I first added it. One of the sensors stuck on “Motion” for over 1 hour. I gave up and went out for dinner. Later that night it switched to “No motion” but once it detected motion again it stayed there for well over 4 minutes even though the time was set to 1 minute and there was no way any motion was present (placed inside a closed box).

Yep I’m facing similar issues, I think the device packets are getting lost on the network. I’m working on a potential new DH for it. There are two DH’s available for this on GitHub, one of them is just plain wrong, that just isn’t the way sleepy devices work. The second one is written much better but there are a few bugs in it. Let me see if I can crack this puzzle.

So, I do have both my sensors working albeit very slow. With a sensor pointing right at the door and less than 6 feet away, I can walk down the length of my foyer before a “motion detected” event occurs. This compared to a wemo motion sensor (which is notoriously slow) placed directly next to ZooZ, the wemo wins every time by as much as 3-4 seconds.

I had a lot of trouble with my sensors at first, I fixed my issues by adding more devices closer to the Zooz, I think it had trouble sending signals through the walls in 2 of the rooms I have them in, they were also 30-40 ft from the nearest device as well as having to go through the walls.

When I installed some GE zwave light switches (that also act as repeaters) between the Zooz and the Hub things improved a lot and now I don’t have any issues. The Zooz is about 6ft from the light switch.

I’d also tried an enerwave motion sensor and it didn’t do any better than the Zooz, it also had trouble reliably reporting events 40ft away from the hub.

Thanks for the tips.

We just decided to create a brand new DH from scratch based on my experience with other sensors and the specifications. Also decided to add some additional features. If anyone’s interested they can check it out here, those who already have access to RBoy apps can download it right away.

Also as @cdikland pointed out, I’ve found the motion sensor to be very “slow” compared to the Ecolink and Monoprice (both new and old) sensors. However the temperature updates and humidity updates are fantastic and are better than those found on Monoprice (temp only).

I assume that the slowness can’t be fixed by a DH then?
