I installed a couple of switches and have them paired and configured to my vera edge.
I’d like to add those two switches to a zwave usb stick (white).
I’ve brought the usb stick close to the switch and tried to pair them but it does not work.
Is there a way to have vera “Send configuration to another controller”?
long story:
Initially, I had the usb stick and have been able to pair 2 lsm-15 switches and an aeotec multisensor6 with it.
I got the Vera Edge and used Domoticz to “Send configuration to other controller”. Vera received all my existing devices.
Now, I got a couple more switches and paired it with the vera but could not pair it with the usb stick and I could not find an option in vera to send configuration to another device. I just want the usb stick to see the new devices.
vera and zwave is like voodoo to me, I could try to unpair the new switches from vera and pair them to the usb stick first but I’m too scared that it might stop working.
In your present setup, the Aeon Z-Stick is a secondary controller. Secondary controllers cannot include new devices into the network, only primary/master controllers, in your case Vera.
After including the switch with Vera, you then need to re-include the secondary controller(Z-Stick) into Vera and Vera will send the updated device list.
On Vera
Devices → Add device → Additional devices → Other Z-Wave device
Then put the Z-Stick in include mode by hitting the button.
My zstick was seen by vera as a scene controller with an error message “can’t configure device”
I played with it a bit, i tried delete device->unpair and then delete device->delete…
eventually tried resetting the zstick by holding the button for 20 seconds.
I still can’t get vera to add the zstick. any tips?
I’ll read around and play with it to see if i can get it to pair…
I still have some things to figure out on the domoticz side but I was able to transfer the devices list
starting with vera as primary:
Settings(vera)->Z-wave settings->Advanced->Controller Shift
setup(Domoticz)->Hardware->Setup(OpenZWave USB)->Node Management->Receive Configuration from other controller
the zstick on domoticz will receive the device list.
vera becomes the secondary controller
then have vera “Copy Z-Wave network from a primary controller”
and have domoticz transfer primary role(iirc)
vera becomes primary again but the devices list becomes a mess.
then go to settings->backup and restore making sure to check the restore zwave network checkbox.
