Hello,
I just purchased IncontrolHA Pro software and i set it up using an Aeon Z-Stick 2. I have selected the beta Z-wave drivers and all is fine regarding the controller.
I added a Fibaro Wall Plug and did the auto configuration. I checked the associations and the wall plug is associated with the controller. InControl set up the wall plug as a PowerOutlet.
The ON/OFF function works as intended but i see no energy readings at all. I understand that the readings should be in the right pane when the device is selected. All i see there is PowerOutlet and the yellow Power button.
Can anyone with experience please tell me how to see instant and total power consumption ?
Regards
Claudiu

Hi Claudiu,
I haven't tested it, but maybe it's under Event Logs (just right-click the device)

Nothing there.. just 0 and 255 so ON and OFFs.
Made some progress: it seems that associating the device with the controller on group 3 not the default group 1 pulls some data and displays it on the right pannel. It is a table with Name, Value and Label columns and 2 lines starting with "4" and "Power(2)"... not that i know what to do with them yet

Hi Claudiu,
those are chlid or slave devices (like a multi-sensor would show temperature, humidity and luminance there). Can be used to create "virtual devices" - just click on one of the bluish icon to the left of the name.

Ty for the info.
Fibaro wall plug looks ok now. The key was to set the association with the controller on group 3. It doesn't work on any other group.
Meanwhile I also connected and configured a Zwave.me key fob and it works
Next to do is to set up a Fibaro Roller Shutter 2. I want to control a garage door with it and the remote.

Hi Claudio,
the Fibaro Shutter Control works - but don't be surprised that it is identified as a dimmer :-)

Hi again,
I'm at loss here with the Fibaro shutter 2. I connected the shutter to the N and L wires to power it up. It is sitting on my desk so far as i don't want to install it to the final location until i'm sure it works.
InControl sees it as a Dimmerswitch just as you mentioned. Also it shows 3 parameter reports in the right pane: Brightness, 4, Power (2).
Problem is that if i press the Power button on the device icon it doesn't do anything. It just stays all light up in yellow. Sliding the dimmer control bar from 254 to 0 turns it off but just so that it switches back on by itself in about 6-7 seconds.
Also it doesn't do any ticking sound at all..
Any ideea what is going on please?
Regards,
Claudiu

Hi Claudiu,
do you have the load (i.e. the roller shutter, marquee, or whatever) already attached and connected? After powering up, it goes back to 0 as soon as the shutter has reached its endpoint (either up or down endpoint) - which is the required behaviour. Just try attaching it to a load and do a test - should work.

Cheers,
Seems it doesn't work without a load. Now it is connected to a load and works as expected
Another newbie question this time about controlling InControl from an Iphone/Ipad: I'm trying to use the direct connect from the IOS app. Hostame set ok, server port I left it the default one 8711, tried with and without password: all i get is Invalid username or password. I don't see any username field in the direct connect settings.. Do i still have to have a cloud username/pass to use the direct connect feature?

It's got to be the same username/password you set in InControl server (under Options)

Yeah but for some reason it only works with cloud connection. Direct Connection refuses to work.
I'm filling this thread with questions as i just started out with Zwave so please be nice to me
Is there any way to have sunrise/sundown values in the default Weather device? Want to make some scenes based on those values.

Claudiu

Hi Claudiu,
sunset and sunrise are available as time triggers in scenes. You have to set your local coordinates (Lat/Lon) under Options first. Then you have to tinker a bit with the time offsets (i.e. sunrise plus 120 min) to meet your locat sunrise/sunset times. Reason is that the InControlHA does not consider DST.

That's the main problem - those devices multiply faster than rabbits :-)

Do you happen to know of any IR device that works with Incontrol + Aeon Z-Stick2 so i can control both my AV stuff and the air conditioning?

Hi Claudi,
I know that those gateways are available, but have no personal experience with them I suggest doing a search on the forum (or other HA forums). One caveat: Before you buy one, make sure it works with InControlHA (there's a thread on the forum on what works to which extent)
Here's the link:

We were sent a device from Remotech that can do IR support - we just need to get it implemented.

I wonder why it says AV.. Would it work also on AC units? Do you guys test it or just implement the functions?
Not much info about that model on google.
