[ST Edge] Driver for GE/Jasco Z-Wave Motion Switches and Dimmers - 24770, 26931, 26932, 26933

That might be true. Here is what I have in the Raw description

Raw Description zw:L type:1001 mfr:0000 prod:0000 model:0000 ver:5.39 zwv:4.54 lib:03 cc:5E,72,5A,73,27,25,2B,2C,70,86,71,60,8E,85,59,7A,56 epc:2

Your device is not registering its fingerprint properly as it’s all zeros. You’ll need to exclude the device and factory reset it then re-add it.

Thank you- That worked. :slight_smile:

I have not yet been brave enough to switch from my existing custom DH to this EDGE driver. Like a lot of us, I use Alexa for voice control for all of my ST devices.

After I make the switch to EDGE will I be able to use voice control to switch the mode back and forth between Manual and Motion triggers? Right now it drives me crazy when the lights turn off while I’m working on something without moving (especially if I’m doing something like slicing food with a sharp knife.)

So, you’re saying you want to switch from Occupancy or Vacancy mode to Manual mode via voice? How are you doing that today via Alexa?

You can definitely set operation mode with this driver, but that doesn’t seem to be exposed to Alexa.

That being said, you could create a virtual device in ST that you turn on/off with voice commands in Alexa. Then have ST Routines that switch between modes depending on the state of the virtual switch.

As far as I know there is no voice command to have Alexa change the mode, so currently I am not able to do this.

Are you suggesting that if I create a virtual switch then I could set the mode on the motion switch?

I seem to recall the 26933 having a parameter that could be adjusted that would affect the time period after being turned off that the switch would not report motion such that the switch wouldn’t turn on when you turn it off and are leaving the room. I can’t find this parameter in these Edge drivers. I also recall this parameter annoyingly applying to anytime the switch was turned off (motion and physical button push).

Did you found the drivers for the GE Portable Smart Motion Sensor that can be config?

Hello,

I have recently moved my smarthome platform to Home Assistant. When I was on SmartThings I was using the stock SmartThings driver for the motion sensor but was able to change the config by using a driver from Mariano Colmenarejo. He has a driver called zwavecfg or something like that. It will allow you to access the configuration parameters of zwave devices on your network and change them. Using the driver I was able to change the motion timeout from 4 minutes to 1 minute. Enroll in his channel and you should be able to install that driver.

If you are using Phil’s driver, you’re probably talking about Motion Reset Time found in the settings.

Thanks for responding. Motion Reset Time appears to correspond to Parameter 15 (see http://manuals-backend.z-wave.info/make.php?lang=en&sku=26931/ZW4006&cert=ZC10-16105294), I’m looking to be able to edit Parameter 1, the timeout duration.

Thanks for pointing that out Phil. Actually what I’m looking for is not that either, and I’m beginning to wonder if what I’m looking for even exists on this switch, or I’m confabulating it from elsewhere. What I want is a parameter that while in occupancy mode after the light has been physically switched off dictates how long to ignore motion for so that the light doesn’t trigger back on as you’re walking out of the room.

Thats param 15 - reset cycle - its the blind window on the motion sensor.

I would suggest using the Z-Wave Device Config Mc to set the parameter since it doesn’t seem to be exposed in an operational driver. You change to the config driver, set the parameters, and then change back to whatever operational driver you are using. Your device may be removed from existing Routines, so you may want to record which Routines the device is included in.

@h0ckeysk8er This driver exposes every parameter available for these devices. Pointing someone to a configuration driver is counterproductive as this driver will likely erase any changes made with a different driver.

This is correct:

As a clarification to users who need to use the Z-Wave Device Config Mc driver to configure any parameter or association group:

The driver does not delete or modify any configuration or association that exists in the device without the user expressly doing so.

Ideally, drivers should have all parameters accessible to users, like most @philh30 drivers, but this is not always possible for all devices and drivers.

I’ve got a 26933 Jasco dimmer/os and trying to upgrade the Edge deriver. I get an error message when using your GE Motion switch and dimmer driver. Any thin else I should look for?

Were you able to change to this driver? If so, what is the error you are getting?

No- I got the error below:
