What a terrible product is this ::). I am having the same issues as you decribed, but i was to stupid to read this forum after buying it ;D…

The next thing I have done is used a cheap doorsensor from benext-ihome, which i already had placed on the door.
(see https://shop.ihome.eu/product_info.php?products_id=47 )

and connect the external connector to my very old doorbel pushbutton… this works great! 8) 8)

Note, that you must have a “dry contact” oterwise you can damage the product.

Same here. Read the thread after ordering it, receiving it, trying to set it up… and failing.
What a useless piece of crap this is.

It should work in a master/slave mode similar to the horstman thermostate and actuator. They work great in my ZWave netwerk.

Looking at the everspring website doesn’t grow my confidence, quite the contrary. Mostly broken images, no documentation, no support (only a form to send an email).

Appears to me these geeks at Everspring need to sort their stuff out, otherwise they will lose a lot of money.

Very unhappy customer here. I am now going to try to wire my existing doorbell to a Fibaro 3-in-1, hardwired to the mains with an adapter to 12v. This could then trigger the Everspring bell, which is working.

Oh, and the software on the Everspring bell is crap as well, it does not work. Somehow the data is corrupted and I cannot read the .exe file. It just crashes my Finder (Mac) or Explorer (Windows). Doesn’t surprise me… But now I can only use the built in crappy tones…

I sent them an email using their support form. I suggest we all do this. The only way to wake Everspring up to improve this product is by letting them know we care.

I have found 2 ways how the doorbel can work, but this is not a nice solution.

  1. Use it standalone, just as a doorbel and it can work.
  2. First include the doorbel as above, when you have it finally working you can include your main (clean) controller inside the doorbel. now the doorbel keeps working and your main z-wave controller can still include and exclude other devices.
    one problem is that you have to start over again, and this is not a normal way of using z-wave controllers.

You can try this, but it will cost you a couple of hours. :slight_smile:
if someone found a faster way please let me know!

@ LightsOn: I got the DIY with fibaro3in1 sensor doorbell to work:

Probably cheaper and easier that the everspring doorbell.

I can confirm that after 0.9.871 ZipatoBox upgrade it is possible now to add and use not just
the Everspring Door Bell (TSE03) but also Push Button (TAC06).

  1. Door Bell (TSE03) but also Push Button (TAC06) must be first included into ZipatoBox.
  2. Now it is possible to make Manual association between Push Button and Door Bell.
    Push and hold - I,R button on ?Push Button? for ca. 10sec. (LED starting blinking RED),
    click again - I,R button on ?Push Button? 3 times (for 1,5 sec.). LED cont. blinking RED.

Now click 3 times (or more?) I,E,R button on ?Door Bell?
If all OK, RED LED on the ?Push Button? stop blinking.
Done.

Hi hkmod,

I don’t quite understand, has there been a firmware update for the push button?

Answer is NO. It was not any firmware upgrade for the Everspring button.
So my test are just a proff of consept: it is possible to use Everspring Push button (as secondary controller).
Right now we have 2 gateways on the marked that works: Eedomus and ZipaBox.
(So if some of soft/gateway developers said to you: Sorry, this is not possible, Everspring must make firmware oppdate in first place, do not belive :slight_smile:

Anybody knows how to play a sound using luup?
1-2 BASIC_SET / SWTICH _ BINARY _SET
Upon receipt of the following commands from a Z-Wave Controller, the Door Bell can be set to playing / NOT playing.
[Command Class Basic, Basic Set, Value = 0(0x00)]: Set the Door Bell to stop playing.
[Command Class Basic, Basic Set, Value = 255(0xFF)]: Set the Door Bell to play.

In UI5, the device appear as an AV device (urn:schemas-micasaverde-com:device:avmisc:1)

How do you mean? To activate the bell just run it in scene? If you mean play any sound not withthe bell you can initiate a sound to play on anouther pc a number of ways, what’s the aplication / enviroment?

Yes, I mean to activate the doorbell by running a scene.

75

To play the default sound on the doorbell is done now:
error, error_msg, jobid, arguments = luup.call_action(“urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:ZWaveNetwork1”,“SendData”,{Node=“16”, Data=“0x25 0x01 0x01”}, 1 )
luup.log( ’ ZZZ : ‘…tostring(error)…’‘… tostring(error_msg)…’‘… tostring(job)…’*'… tostring(arguments) )

What remains to investigate: play one or another sound file from the doorbell.
