Z-Wave Fan Control - Reports Light Control

[coryabooth]

Describe The Bug: Two out of eight in wall fan controllers: GE (Enbrighten) Z-Wave ZW4002, show up as "lights" instead of "fans"

They are still controllable, but are not included in "Home" as "Climate" devices and the icon is a "light"

The fans controllers are all identical....

The fans are all using the same edge driver,

In my troubleshooting, I have tried switching between two drivers. https://community.smartthings.com/t/st-edge-driver-for-ge-jasco-honeywell-z-wave-switches-dimmers-fans-outlets-and-plug-ins/236733 https://community.smartthings.com/t/st-edge-enhanced-z-wave-fan-controller/249363

I did have initial success moving some fans from "light" to "fan" by changing drivers, but in these two cases - the fans are "locked" to "lights". In one case, a fan moved from "light" to "fan" after turning it on.

To Reproduce: I remove the fans from "Accessories Cache" in HomeBridge.
I change the fan drivers in Smartthings (as listed above) I ensure the fans show correctly in Smartthings - with the "fan" controls showing

Rebooting HomeBridge, the fans still load as "lights"

Expected behavior: Fan Controllers either load as "fan" or are able to be switched from "light" to "fan" as other similar devices

[coryabooth]

In HomeBridge under "terminal" Is there a "hb_service" command to remove an accessory from cache?

I am surprised to see the logs show "restored from cache" When I have not only cleared the individual fans - at this point hundreds of times - but I also cleared the entire cache for all accessories as well.

Perhaps this "cache" comment is just an anomaly?

[iklein99]

Can we close this?

[coryabooth]

It is still a problem for me. I'll keep looking into it today.

[coryabooth]

So I was running HomeBridge (for over a year) on a QNAP.

I decided, for performance reasons - and other odd ball issues - to move the entire install to a Rasberry PI.

I fully wiped all 180+ items from Home, and readded each item, one at a time.

When SmartThings loads the accessories, for some reason or another, some ceiling fans show as "fans" and other - exactly the same fan and exactly the same controller - show as "lights"....

And even after a complete wipe and reload - I am still seeing the same two fan marked as "lights"

Is there something, even if code wise, I could do to trigger the switch from "light" to "fan"

As I mentioned above, they do still work, but the slider for a light dimmer is not preferred over the fan slider. Not to mention the OCD aspect of it...

[coryabooth]

I found the "swagger" page and have noticed the differences. Again these "fans" are exactly the same model and exactly the same driver. They do show as "fans" in SmartThings....

Here is the output from Swagger for a correct one:

{ "aid": 90, "iid": 12, "uuid": "00000040-0000-1000-8000-0026BB765291", "type": "Fan", "humanType": "Fan", "serviceName": "Office Fan", "serviceCharacteristics": [ { "aid": 90, "iid": 13, "uuid": "00000025-0000-1000-8000-0026BB765291", "type": "On", "serviceType": "Fan", "serviceName": "Office Fan", "description": "On", "value": 0, "format": "bool", "perms": [ "ev", "pr", "pw" ], "canRead": true, "canWrite": true, "ev": true }, { "aid": 90, "iid": 15, "uuid": "00000029-0000-1000-8000-0026BB765291", "type": "RotationSpeed", "serviceType": "Fan", "serviceName": "Office Fan", "description": "Rotation Speed", "value": 0, "format": "float", "perms": [ "ev", "pr", "pw" ], "unit": "percentage", "maxValue": 100, "minValue": 0, "minStep": 1, "canRead": true, "canWrite": true, "ev": true }

Here is the output from a "light" { "aid": 39, "iid": 12, "uuid": "00000043-0000-1000-8000-0026BB765291", "type": "Lightbulb", "humanType": "Lightbulb", "serviceName": "Master Fan", "serviceCharacteristics": [ { "aid": 39, "iid": 13, "uuid": "00000025-0000-1000-8000-0026BB765291", "type": "On", "serviceType": "Lightbulb", "serviceName": "Master Fan", "description": "On", "value": 1, "format": "bool", "perms": [ "ev", "pr", "pw" ], "canRead": true, "canWrite": true, "ev": true }, { "aid": 39, "iid": 15, "uuid": "00000008-0000-1000-8000-0026BB765291", "type": "Brightness", "serviceType": "Lightbulb", "serviceName": "Master Fan", "description": "Brightness", "value": 66, "format": "int", "perms": [ "ev", "pr", "pw" ], "unit": "percentage", "maxValue": 100, "minValue": 0, "minStep": 1, "canRead": true, "canWrite": true, "ev": true }

Can this be changed using "Swagger"?

[coryabooth]

One of thought - is there some sort of limit on devices during the load into HomeBridge? Maybe limit on the WebHook?

I'm at a loss as to why these two devices insist on being loaded as "lights" when nothing at all on the SmartThings hub remotely indicates they are lights.

[coryabooth]

So today... At random... (I did a single device cache clear and reboot - which I've been doing all this time) the Living Fan (which you can see in above screenshot) switched to a "Fan" - but... Now my Patio Fan is now a light.

It's almost like the plugin just can't handle more than five fans at one time? I can't make any sense of it....

[coryabooth]

@iklein99

Is there any chance your webhook logging could identify something?

[iklein99]

I was able to reproduce. I'm working on this now.

[iklein99]

@coryabooth try release 1.5.20 and let me know how it goes.

[coryabooth]

@iklein99

SUPER! This seems to have fixed a lot of things. Another issue was some properly represented fans still had a light dimmer control - even though it did not exist on SmartThings. That was easy to ignore however.

But the bigger problem - fans listed as lights - seems to be fixed!

Thank you!
