Add Z-Wave Wayne-Dalton WDHA-12

[rhodges]

I have a Wayne-Dalton WDHA-12 that I never got around to adding to ISY. The last time I tried to add it, it was back in 4.1 and I was told I need to wait until 4.2. Now that we are well into 4.3, I thought I'd give it a go.

 

I don't have any other z-wave devices. I verified my firmware is 4.55 and bootloader version is 1.03. I tried with both internal and external antenna.

 

I put the WDHA-12 in linking mode (whatever it is called), by pressing and holding copy, then I press scene 1 and the lights blink. Good. I think run back to ISY and within 20 seconds, I to Z-Wave -> Add/Include a Z-Wave Device.... and nothing.

 

I tried putting ISY is linking mode, then the WDHA-12.... and nothing.

 

I put a fresh battery in the WDHA-12 and they are about 3 feet apart when I try to link them.

 

I am ISY 994i/IR PRO with the Z-Wave module.

 

Am I doing something wrong?

 

This was my original thread asking about support for the WDHA-12

When you put the ISY in "linking mode", is this the same mode you use to add insteon devices?  For Z-wave, one must "add/include Z-wave device".  Putting the ISY into linking mode will not work with Z-wave.

 

My recollection is that one first must choose "add/include Z-wave device" then toggle the desired z-wave device.  If this does not work, try first excluding the z-wave device.

 

In case you have not checked, instructions are here

Unfortunately, the answer is the same.   Z-Wave multichannel will be coming sometime in 5.X.

Ugh. This thing is the entire reason I bought the ISY. I probably should have just kept the VERA or used something else, or at the very least, checked it worked before I purchased it, haha. Thanks for the heads up.

rhodges,

 

I do apologize.

 

We are at the final stages of getting multi-channel done. So, please stay tuned.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

HI Michael... any updates on the multi-channel zwave support? (Firmware @ 4.5.1 and UI 4.3.26)

 

I also am playing with the WDHA-12R and was able to add it as a "Controller" but it seems to be a stub, can't get any of the scene-buttons "discovered".

[Michel Kohanim]

Hi jimsander,

 

Final stages of testing but we keep having bugs that we have to fix.

 

Also, please do make sure your UI is also 4.5.1:

1. Clear Java cache

2. Go to http://isy.universal-devices.com/994i/admin.jnlp

 

With kind regards,

Michel

[jimsander]

Thanks Michel.  Just to keep the status going, I have both Firmware and UI @ 4.5.1, have excluded then re-included the WDHA-12 and still has no other attributes to program against.

Hi jimsander,

 

Definitely related to multi channel which should be in 5.0.x.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

[rhodges]

I'm on 5.0.4 and still nothing. I'm guessing not yet supported?

[Michel Kohanim]

Hello rhodges,

 

What does "nothing" refer to? Same as jimsander?

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Correct, this is a scene controller and will be supported when finish our next build with Z-Wave scene support.

[jimsander]

Was messing around with some z-wave controllers to see about finally getting that arcane Wayne Dalton "Gateway" (WHDA-12) device functional, and just found this old thread while googling around.

 

That's a bummer to hear there's been no progress on this z-wave scene support.  I understand being stretched thin, so I can empathize.

Dunno what makes you say there's been no progress -- Chris' comment was a year ago, and lot has happened.  What hasn't happened is a formal release -- so if you want to see if/how this device functions, you'll need to install the 5.0.10 alpha firmware.  It's alpha - so things may not be perfect.  But a lot of us are running it, and quite enjoying the new functionality.  Again, I don't know if this device in this thread will work, but if you need to know, just load up the alpha version, and provide some feedback.
