[quote=“jtmoore, post:20, topic:174491”]LWRF devices working well for me with door sensor and motion sensor configurations. Thanks for the code update.
One thing I noticed is that conversion seems to replace the existing device with a new one with a default device name into no room. Worth keeping in mind if you convert a device and wonder where the heck it went ;)[/quote]
Good remark. I think it is doable and even easy to change, at least for the name (for the room, I am noit sure). Will be included in the next version.
Hi jtmoore
Could you give a quick description of how you added your lightwave RF door and or motion sensors as I am struggling a little. I use switches a lot and they all work great. But how do I associate the motion sensor or door sensor with Vera? If its a switch you put it into learn mode then in vera turn the device on and this associates the two. however there is no such process with sensors of course (e.g. learn mode). In the fist post it states I should extract the Remote ID etc. from the device but how do I do this? I can understand why if I had this info that when creating the device it would already be paired but how do I get that info?
Thank you in advance and my apologies if this is a silly question - I have read the threads and made some attempts and falling short sadly.
Thank you in advance.
Hi LightsOn. I will try and describe the process that I have used to convert to LWRF Door Sensors (and is same process for converting to Motion sensors).
Assuming that AutoCreate is enabled, operating the LightwaveRF door sensor should automatically create two devices. One will be a normal On/Off light switch (e.g. named RFX Light L5.0/F36378/10), and the other will be a Mood/Remote device (e.g. named RFX Remote L5.0/F36378).
1). Click the wrench (spanner) icon on the On/Off Light switch device and make a note of the altid text displayed in the Advanced tab. It will probably look something like LS/L5.0/F36378/10
2). Go to the RFXtrx controller device and open the Settings tab. Scroll down to the section that shows Remote Id field and buttons to create LWRF device types.
3). Into the Remote Id field, type in just the middle hex part of the altid we made a note of earlier (e.g. F36378).
4). Into the Unit Code, enter the decimal number found at the of the altid we made a note of earlier (e.g. 10).
5). Press the LWRF Door Sensor button (once only), and you should notice Vera status becomes busy.
6). Close the RFXtrx controller device and go look for the newly created door sensor device. The new device will be named something like RFX Door L5.0/F36378/10 with an altid like DS/L5.0/F36378/10
Be aware that the original On/Off switch will have been deleted but the Mood/Remote device will remain. I suggest you make a note of it the mood/remote device (e.g. RC/L5.0/F36378), delete it from the console, add RC/L5.0/F36378 to the DisabledDevises list to prevent it from coming back (assuming AutoCreate is still enabled).
Hope the above helps.
For information, it would be easier and clearer in the approaching new version.
Thanks jtmoore
Thank makes perfect sense and I shall give it a go and see how I get on - appreciate the effort you took to reply thank you.
