window sensor from develo #1

Implemented a window sensor from devolo (should work with every window contact sensor)

Timvdv commented 7 years ago

Cool! I'll test & publish it right away.

I wonder one thing, how did you manage to pair the z-wave devices with that zwave-USB stick?

redxeagle commented 7 years ago

oh that is a "funny" story I bought a bundle for the "Pulse Station" home automation server, which could run on synology NAS. But this plugin wasnt perfect because my hardrives doesnt want to go in hibernation anymore. The log file was written not in cache or memory. Always on these hardrives. But this software paired the usb stick together with the danfoss thermostat. But with this window sensor i really got trouble to pair it with the usb stick. Finally pairing works well with open zwave control panel. https://github.com/OpenZWave/open-zwave-control-panel

But it was more try and error process to pair it and have a working combination instead of a workflow...

Hopefully i can reproduce it with another pair of window sensor and termostat later this year :)

Aah okay! Nice idea to use the zwave control panel. I'm planning to add discovery to the plugin in the future. It should be pretty easy.

I'm sure that it's possible to turn off logging by changing the variable to false. in z-wave-app protocol line 26. Just add Logging: false, at the next line. Hope that helps. (for more info look at: https://github.com/OpenZWave/node-openzwave-shared/blob/master/README-api.md)

At last: you forgot to add a few things (no problem! 😄) just look at my latest commits so you can add it next time! Your feature is live right now!
