Zooz ZSE40 4-in-1 Sensor issues

[nasa01]

Hi,

I am having a couple of issues with setting up my new 4-n-1 sensor.  I have successfully included it with my ISY994i...  However, the temp, 78F, and lumes, 100%, don't make any sense.  And I am not seeing any motion events.  Finally, I don't see any node related to motion.   I've attached a log from my ISY, with hopes it can help me figure this out.  Thanks in advance,

This device is battery-powered and out of the box it is configured to favor battery life over reporting intervals. By default it will report status only every few hours or when a sensor value changes by a relatively large amount. If you want the device to report more frequently, you need to configure it using the documented parameters.

Thanks jfailenschmid,

I had looked over the parameters listed on the included instructions -- which has the following parameters:

• Temperature Sensor

Parameter 1: Use this parameter to switch
from Fahrenheit to Celsius scale.
Values: 0 – Celsius. 1 – Fahrenheit (default).
Size: 1 byte dec.
Parameter 2: Use it to set temperature
change to be reported by the sensor.
Values: 1 - 50 (where 1 stands for 0.1 degree
and 50 stands for 5 degrees). Default set to 1
degree (value 10). The sensor will report
new temperature value to the controller
whenever temperature goes 1 degree up or
down.
Size: 1 byte dec.

• Humidity Sensor

Reports relative humidity.
Parameter 3: Use it to set humidity
percentage change to be reported by the
sensor.
Values: 1 - 50 where 1 stands for 1% and 50
stands for 50%. Default set to 10%.
Size: 1 byte dec.
Light Sensor
Reports light level in percentage (1-100).
Parameter 4: Use it to choose light
percentage change to be reported by the
sensor.
Values: 5 - 50 where 5 stands for 5% and 50
stands for 50%. Default set to 10%.
Size: 1 byte dec.

• Motion Sensor

Parameter 5: Use it to set trigger interval -
the time when motion is reported again
after initial trigger.
Values: 15 - 60 where 15 stands for 15
seconds and 60 stands for 60 seconds.
Default set to 15 seconds.
Size: 1 byte dec.
NOTE: Small interval will increase activity
and decrease battery life.
Parameter 6: Use it to adjust PIR sensor
sensitivity.
Values: 1 - 7, where 1 = very high sensitivity
and 7 = very low sensitivity. Default set to 3.
Size: 1 byte dec.

• LED notifications

LED indicator will flash every 3 minutes or
whenever you press the Z-Wave button to
indicate temperature level.
How to read LED indicator colors?
Green = under 60°F
Blue = 60°-75°F
Yellow = 75°-83°F
Purple = 83°-97°F
Red = over 97°F / motion detected / tamper
switch triggered
Parameter 7: Use it to choose between LED
indicator modes.
Mode 1 = LED indicator is turned off (no
visual notifications).
Mode 2 = temperature indicated with
pulsing light. Motion indicated with flashing
light.
Mode 3 = temperature and motion
indicated with flashing light.
Mode 4 = no indication for temperature,
motion indicated with flashing light.
Values: 1 - 4. Default set to 4.
Size: 1 byte dec.
NOTE: Mode 2 will increase activity and
decrease battery life.

• Tamper Switch

Tamper switch is activated whenever
sensor’s cover is removed while the device
is powered up. It will send an alarm
notification as scheduled.

-Having looked these over, I don't see a setting for initial motion detection and the default sensitivity isn't at it's lowest.  What am I missing?

These settings work for me:

Parameter description	ID	Value	Size	Default/Changed	Remarks
Temperature change to be reported	2	2	1	Changed	0.2 degrees Fahrenheit. Default value 10 (1 degree)
Humidity percentage change to be reported	3	5	1	Changed	Default 10%
Light percentage change to be reported	4	5	1	Changed	Default 10%
Motion trigger interval	5	15	1	Default	Seconds
PIR sensor sensitivity	6	1	1	Changed	1 (very high sensitivity) to 7. Default 3
LED indicator mode	7	2	1	Default	Mode 2: temperature indicated with pulsing light. Motion indicated with flashing light. Mode 4 (default): no indicator for temperature, motion indicated with flashing light

Hi,  I tried to make changes to the parameters - but only got network errors.  When I tried to manual "awake" the device, the log implied the ISY is putting it right back to sleep ?

I've been able to make changes successfully to this device by bringing the device in direct range of ISY, making the parameter change in ISY, then immediately hitting the wakeup button a couple of times.  Note that the wakeup button is the one you have to use a paperclip or something similar to press, not the black button on the inside.

Hi All...  I worked with the guys at Zooz and discovered it was the sensor.  They sent me a new one with a different firmware load -- and that worked right out of the box.  Not sure if it was the hardware or updated firmware.  Either way, it's working now.

[nasa01]

So, I got a couple more of these sensors -- and discovered one worked and the other didn't.  The guys from Zooz, whom don't seem to own a ISY, asked if I could tell the firmware version of each sensors to ensure they are the same.  I attempted to find firmware version by starting the event viewer; then right clicking on one of the nodes for the sensor, select z-wave, followed by show information in event viewer.  The output is in the included text file.  Is the line Firmware_update_md suppose to be the Firmware version?  That's the closest thing I see there...  Thanks in advance.
