I recently purchased a Vera2 and a ZIR010 motion detector. With the standard firmware installed, I was succesfully able to add the ZIR010.
I then upgraded to firmware 1.1.1234 and Z-Wave 3.20. I am now no longer able to add the ZIR010 motion detector.
Did a reset of the Z-wave network, there are no devices in my network now.
Did NOT do “Hack to convert 2.78 to 3.20” since I start from scratch (i.e., without any devices).
Z-wave device => Options => Version shows 3.20 L:1 & all checkboxes on that page are checked.
I tried the following:
1: Add Devices through the Wizard (Option 1: “Leave Vera connected and carry the Z-Wave device(s) to Vera”);
2: Activate the ZIR010 motion detector by:
2a: Remove cover; remove/reinsert one of the batteries; press “button” button, or:
2b: Remove cover; press “button” button; put back cover, or:
2c: Remove cover; remove/reinsert battery; press “button” button.
I also tried to first activate (2), then add devices (1).
Then I wait for a couple of minutes. However, the ZIR010 is never discovered.
Is there a known problem with fw 1234 and the ZIR010? Any suggestions to see what’s going on? Am I not using the correct adding procedure? (I can’t imagine). Can someone post the exact steps to add a ZIR010 that works with 1.1.1234 / 3.20?
Thanks…
Did you exclude the zir010 first?
No, I didn’t exclude the ZIR010 first. I did a reset of the Z-Wave, after which both my devices were removed (I also have a Aeon door sensor).
A matter of fact, I am also unable to add the door sensor.
So I have a Vera2 @ 1.1.1234, using 3.20, with no devices added, and unable to add both my devices.
Try doing an exclude of the device before doing the include. It sounds like it does not make sense, but a device will not include if it is already attached to a controller. Since all your devices were deleted by the controller on the reset, they were not excluded to remove them. They need to be excluded before they are included. Vera will do the exclude even if the device is not shown in the dashboard.
That worked!
And actually, it does make sense. My devices were still associated with my “old” (not yet flashed and resetted) vera2 box, and it is a good thing that they don’t give up that association when a “new” (flashed and resetted) vera2 box comes along.
Otherwise, I could walk up to your super protected house with my vera2 connected to a battery pack, reassociate all your devices to my new vera2 box, effectively disabling your security.
So, I suppose Z-wave is designed such that to disassociate a device from a z-wave network, physical access to that device is required, and in such a way that the anti-tamper mechanism would be triggered. In my case, de-associating my sensors required opening the box which triggers the anti-tamper button.
