I finally got one of these beasties, soon to be three (I hope). Gotta get the first one working!
It’s new, so there is not much on the web about it yet.
It adds to the Vera as a Generic IO? device…
Looking for some help/direction.
I changed the device_type to urn:schemas-micasaverde-com:device:DoorSensor:1
I changed the device_file to D_DoorSensor1.xml (an existing file, I checked)
Just taking stabs in the dark; anyone make one of these work?
Just for my own curiosity what version of firmware are you running. I have 4 of the first version of these devices and I am running 1.5. I know the new version of the sensor is using the Gen 5 zwave class. There may be a problem with the Gen 5 zwave class and the version of firmware you are running.
I examined the device carefully, removing the circuit boards from the tube and removing the battery. I can’t see any way one would upgrade the firmware via USB (no connector). There are some test pads on the circuit board but they don’t look USB. I suspect the firmware (on these Gen5 devices) is updated via Zwave+.
I now have two Gen5 devices (Aeon siren and Aeon embedded door sensor) that refuse to work with my Vera 3. Is it possible you MUST have a VeraEdge for Gen5 devices to work? Zwave+ support on the controller is required? I would think Gen5 devices and Zwave+ would be smart enough to be compatible with the older protocol, but nothing surprises me at this point :-).
I wanted to purchase a whole lot more of these sensors but they were unavailable for quite some time. Then they appeared with the Gen 5 protocol. I asked my supplier of the new version would work with my vera 3 and current firmware. He said that the reports he had been getting was that vera was having trouble with Gen 5 in general. Someone smarter than i will have to give a better explanation.
I have a VeraEdge and the Aeon Gen5 Alarm works for me (although you can’t change tones for different types of alerts) for the most part. I also have the Aeon Gen5 recessed door sensor and it added as a GenericIO device for me as well. I put in a support ticket, they asked me to allow remote support, but have not heard back from them.
I’m having the same issue, comes up as a generic I/O device and I cant get it to configure.
Anyone know the settings needed to make this thing work?
Same issues here. I have both devices (Siren and recessed door) and neither of them work as they should with either Edge or Vera Lite UI5. I bought a Vera Edge thinking it was needed for the Gen5 stuff but to no avail. POS. I’m ready to hurl them both out in the snow bank and switch to something else entirely… maybe I should just wait for Thread stare
MCV support says it will be another 1-2 weeks (1st week in Feb?) before they release firmware that supports some Gen5 devices.
Hi,
I have the same as you coronabill (VeraEdge, the Recessed Door Sensor Gen5 and the Aeon siron Gen5) but can?t get the simple scen (open door- siren alarm) work. Did you do anything special to get it work?
Device Trigger
Whenever “The door” is armed and opened
Device Actions
Immediately Siren On
This scene runs…
When I’m in the mode Night or Away or Vacation
and then the Repair step. I admit I?m a beginner with z-wave, and please be patience with me 
but what am I doing wrong?

I have not been able to get the Recessed Door Sensor to work. I thought I read somewhere here that it is a known issue and will be fixed in a future update (famous words) ;D
I am using motion sensors for my alarm. I was able to change the alarm sound and tried all the different ones. (Wife didn’t like that…)
To set up my alarm I think I followed some of information in here http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,27922.0.html, but then I tried alot of stuff and not sure what part got it working.

Elsewhere, someone got the Aeon siren Gen5 Zwave+ to work by replacing an xml file etc. I was hoping for a similar set of instructions for the embedded door sensor. MCV still does not support these “new” devices. It has something to do with Europe vs USA setup I think.

I meant to say Siren, when I said alarm…
Ok,
thanks for answering, now I don’t have to try further to get it work. I guess er just have to Waits for updates. 
I must say I am really disappointed. My thougt was to build a system with only gen5 stuffs, but they won’t work togerher… I wounder if I have to think it over again before I continue to buy and build…

I also bought a a couple of these ZW089. I have replaced the xml file and I have not been able to get the device to respond. Any assistance with a vera lite and Door Sensor Gen 5 syncing would be appreciated.
All I can say is “ME TOO”! I am having exactly the same problems as the rest or you guys/gals. Most disappointing. Please post a solution if anyone can get this to work.
Aeon Labs has responded by giving me the engineering specification for the Aeon ZW089. I have attached the pdf. The Tech’s response was:
Maybe you can force the type of device it is into a Z-Wave sensor.
I bought a couple of these ZW089. Last weekend I upgraded my Vera to the latest firmware version. But these door sensors do not function with 1.7.961 of my Edge. Does anyone know when Vera Edge will support those Gen 5 sensors?
Hi,
I think it is so bad they don?t work with Vera Edge, wich is the gateway launched to work with gen5 products. What?s even worse is that they still haven?t solved the problem. They should be ashamed! I?ve stopped build my z-wave network for the moment, and thinking of maybe buy Fibaro instead…

I think you should do some research first. This new sensor not only has problems with VERA but amazon reviews show smart things also has problems installing and you need to do a few work arounds with a custom device. Sounds like the problem might be with the device then the controllers. I’m sure support will be added to all controllers in the future.
