Current values of are updated very slow

[falkorichter]

We are experiencing issues getting the current values of connected z-wave actuators.

As there is usually a manual way of controlling them we were researching, how long it takes for the z-way UI/API to yield the updated values.

For instance we have a shade demonstrator on our desk. The shades roll down in like 10 seconds. We can manually roll down the shades the it is very hard to get the current status of the shades using the API/smarthome frontend.

We have also tried including the MQTT plugin in order so see the updated values faster. Same problem there so we assume a deepeer bug

Here is an example:

1. Light is at 100% at the beginning of the test
2. I push and hold the physical light button until it has dimmed noticeably.
3. I observe the smarthome UI to see the changed
4. I push the logo of the device in order to trigger an update api call. We understand this might be neccesary.
5. Value is only updated after a seconds update API call as you can see in the screenshot of the z-wave web debugging session.

Questions: Is there a way to update all devices? We are currently polling the current state of devices, or using MQTT plugin to avoid polling. But calling update on the devices individually would defeat the purpose of trying to get a constant stream of udpate.

It´s reproduceable. I have to push the update twice before getting the updated value.

Also turning the dimmer off - only getting the update when tapping update twice.

looks good to me.

This is a known bug of Qubino dimmers (and other devices). Please go to Expert UI->Configuration->Device 9->Expert Commands and set plain Association to 1 (Z-Way controller) in group 1. Remove MultiChannelAssociation 1:0 from group 1.

After this the dimmer will report instant changes
