JBanaszak Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hello all, I recently installed four of the dimmers referenced above along with a matching on-off switch. None of the devices update their status when operated manually. interestingly, an older Leviton switch installed elsewhere (bottom toggle only), updates status almost immediately. I am currently working around this issue by running a query program every minute but I know there is a better way.... Based on searching this forum, I tried the usual remove/re-enroll, reset the device, etc. Since nothing worked, I sent an inquiry to Leviton customer support; their response is below and references their "hail" architecture. Does ISY support the referenced "send a hail" when manually activated? If so, what am I doing wrong? If not, is this part of the future development plan? I am currently running Firmware 4.6.2. Thanks in advance for any responses! *********************************** "Jim, The capability is dependent on the hub. Most hubs already support the Leviton Hail architecture. When associated to the hub, Leviton Z-Wave devices send a hail when manually activated. The hub can poll for state. Perhaps the Universal Devices ISY994 has not been updated to recognize that the new Decora Smart Z-Wave devices supports the Leviton Hail architecture.

Michel Kohanim Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hi jimmyban, We have never heard of Leviton Hail architecture! With kind regards, Michel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwester Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 A "HAIL" is a protocol extension (unique, I believe, to Leviton, although Aeon labs may also support it). Basically, a device sends a z-wave broadcast message that essentially says "Hey everybody! Something just changed about me! Query me if you want details." If the z-wave dongle on the ISY supports HAIL, it would be a nice extension to support; the obvious thing for the ISY to do would be to query the device that sent the broadcast.

JBanaszak Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 Thanks mwester. I have asked Leviton to point me to some documentation and will share when they respond. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWareman Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Wonder if any info can be obtained from this: http://www.openzwave.com/dev/classOpenZWave_1_1Hail.html Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Kohanim Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Hello everyone, I consulted with Chris. Hail is a deprecated feature and thus not supported. With kind regards, Michel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBanaszak Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 Michel, thanks for this reply. It's too bad as these are otherwise nice devices. Query works for me as timing is not important for my application. I hope this information helps others make an informed decision before buying.
