zen16 vs zen17 what's the difference

An advantage to detecting door closed/not closed with a magnetic switch is that there is no battery that has to be replaced. The advantage of a tilt sensor is that it can detect movement, as well as closed, open. Practically speaking, you can write code that will work reliably to control the opener via a relay with either sensor. I should add that I always have installed a video camera in the garage, so that I can double check for sure what the door status is, either while debugging code, or in the very rare event of hardware failure.

I am looking for a ZWave garage door control solution other than the GoControl gd00z-8 (If interested, you can read about why the gd00z-8 will not work for me here.) One solution I see is the Zooz ZEN16 Multirelay in combination with the Ecolink Z-Wave Plus Tilt Sensor. If anyone is happy with that solution, or a different ZWave solution, I'd be interested in your feedback.

I'm getting about 10 msec ping response. So there must some other overhead in the SMTP interaction that is taking significantly longer.

Thanks. I had to increase the timeout to 20,000 (I tried a curl at Michael's suggestion, and that was taking 12 seconds, so I increased to 20 to be on the safe side.).

I agree, seems likely. If their customer support was better, I'd make another run at them, but after the "We don't support end users" discussion, I'm done.

I have updated my Eisy to 5.9.1 . Email notifications are no longer working, other features seem to be working ok. In the AC, if I go to Configuration > Emails/Notifications > Settings/Groups and click on Test, several seconds go by and then a window pops up with "Mail server failure" and "[[SMTP_ERRORS--1]]". I am using SMTP server smtp.gmail.com, and my Google App password. I have verified the Google App password is working to send emails with other applications. I have opened a ticket.

I am using the Zmatter dongle. I also have successfully used the gd00z-8 in the past, and am currently using one at my vacation home (with a polisy and zmatter dongle) without issues.....The company who currently owns GoControl have not been very helpful, and I've spent all the time I am going to spend with them. UD told me that others have been having trouble recently with their GoControl garage door controllers.

Update on my issue for those who may also have issues with their gd00z-8: In response to my ticket, UD did a remote session and spent a bunch of time looking at the issue. The final conclusion was that the gd00z-8 was not following correct protocols for inclusion using security. I was able to eventually get nortek/nice to ship me another replacement device, and it is behaving exactly the same way: During the inclusion process, after entering the PIN, and verifying the window that contains the full key, a few seconds later the gd00z-8 beeps three times. The eisy continues with the interview process, and eventually the device is added as only an Entry Control device. With all my prior successful instances of successfully adding this device, it appears as a Barrier device (primary device), with three sub devices: Barrier Alarm, Home Security Alarm, and Tamper Alarm. Zwave interview timeout is set to 1 minute. I have tried exclude followed by a factory reset multiple times, and moving the gd00z-8 a couple feet away from the zmatter antenna, all to no avail. I'm fairly certain the three beeps from the gd00z-8 during the inclusion process is an indication that something is not correct. I have spent a large amount of time on this (and UD spent a good hour on it), Nortek/Nice is difficult to deal with (the last rep I talked to insisted they do not support end users). I will spend no more time on this. I'm going to open a new thread to see what other solutions out there are working for folks.

As described further above: I am using the ticket process, I have updated the ticket several times to bring attention to it, and the ticket has been open 30 days! The process is clearly broken.

To whatever admin changed the title of my thread - I'm trying to understand why the usually excellent support Universal Devices has provided in the past is not currently present for this problem. This is a valid concern, and my title was neither inappropropriate nor inaccurate.

I am having a problem including a new GD00Z-8-GC zwave garage door controller in my eisy zwave network. I opened a ticket (#25957) with ISY 30 days ago. It was ignored for quite some time, then I had one response, now it has gone dark again. Universal Devices - what is going on here?: Your usual stellar support has fallen apart for me on this?! The GD00Z-8-GC is supposed to be a new (replacement) device, but it is not functioning correctly after being added, and is appearing differently than other successfully functioning instances of this device in the past. It's not clear to me if the supposedly new device is defective, or if some other problem is occurring? When the device is included, it is appearing as a Entry Control device only. In the past, successful instances of this device have added as a Barrier device (primary device), with three sub devices: Barrier Alarm, Home Security Alarm, and Tamper Alarm. When the eisy saw the device during the include, it prompted me for the PIN, and had S2 and S0 selected, which I left selected (which is what I have done in the past). I clicked on the verify button when the confirm dialog appeared. I have attached the log. On line 1251, "Interview not complete: total=7 successful=2 attempted=3" is reported. It appears that security is not being established during the include. I have tried many reboots, many excludes and includes, and a factory reset of the GD00Z-8-GC device, all with no change in behavior Thanks in advance for you help with this!

My ticket # is 25957. It was opened 20 days ago, and I requested an update 11 days ago. There has not yet been a response. Can someone from UD please confirm whether the ticket is visible in the system? Thank you.

I opened the ticket below 9 days ago, and there has been no response. Is there something wrong with the ticket system? [Ticket #25957] issue including GD00Z-8-GC garage door controller

Never mind, I figured it out. I had only partially configured the M1XEP - A send all using Elk RP fixed the problem. I had forgotten that the conflict checking in Elk RP does cover all the M1XEP setup. For anyone else reading this, when connected to the M1XEP using Elk RP, click on M1XEP setup, then click on the TRACE button at the bottom of any of the M1XEP tabs, then select Show Setup. This will show you all the settings currently configured in the M1XEP.
