Multi endpoint device state not detected

I have problem with InControl not reflecting correct state of devices created out of multiple endpoints of physical device. Exact situation is as follows.

1. I have Fibaro FGS-221 double relay. This has two endpoints, one for each relay module. Switch is associated with controller in groups 1,2,3. Let's say the device is called FGS.
2. I have created devices out of endpoints to control them independantly. Let's say SW1 and SW2.
3. When either of relays is switched on or off using physical wall switch then the change of state is not shown in InControl. For example if I power on SW1 then the POWER button will not light up. If I click on the power button then it lights up and on next click the SW1 and power indicator are turned off.

How to fix? I can't set polling interval for device created from endpoint, also force poll doesn't seem to do anything.

Switch parameter 6 "Commands Sent to Association Group 1" is set to 0 - "turning on and turning off sends out a wireless command" so the switch SHOULD report its status change. Actually when I turn on both relays from wall then the status of FGS IS shown as powered, but nothing happens with SW1 and SW2

I need to use state of single endpoint as condition for scene. Any help appreciated.

I don't suppose you have any other brands to try?

My Aeon multi switches which have the two individual switches out as endpoints work fine.
I can also set the poll for the individual switches too.

No, I do not have other multipoint switches to play around with :( Anyways I think this problem is not related to hardware. I can't set the poll interval for ANY of the virtual devices created out of endpoints. For example I have created a LevelDisplayer device out of light reading parameter of a multisensor. Can't set poll interval for that too. I can check the checkbox but whatever number I write next to it turns back to zero. Not sure of course if this is important at all.

Is there a way to somehow log ALL traffic from z-wave network? I would like to pinpoint the problem and understand if my FGS sends out any status reports at all.

I have the same switches and they wok good here.
Try the experimental version i am running on that one.
After they are auto added delete, set group 1,2,3 on controller.
Also set the smart route polls.
if it still does not work.

Do the following.

- Delete device from incontrol.
- Stop the service.
- Close the UI
- Start the service.
- Set Smart route polls in properties
- Close the UI
- Start the UI
- Wait 30 seconds

try if it works then.

Thank you! I finally managed to get them working as expected. Smart route poll seems to be the key here. My main problem was that I was dumb enough not to figure out that I have to set smart route poll for actual physical device, I stubbornly tried to set the option for virtual switch created out of the endpoint and this is of course impossible.

Anyway, two out of my four FGS221-s worked as expected right after adding smart route poll, two of them needed to be deleted from IHA and reconfigured. Go figure. At least the end result is up to expectations.

I have the Fibaro FGS211 but the 3KW version.
The issue that i am facing is that when I turn on or off, the relay executes the command successfully but incontrol does not detect its status quickly. You have to wait sometimes more than 30 seconds for Incontrol to show the correct status. Sometimes right after the “ON” command, Incontrol shows the device turned ON, then OFF and after some seconds finally ON.
I am using the latest experimental version. I have also enabled “smart route polls”
Any advise?

Thank you
Happy New Year!

According to the configuration at pepper1 (http://www.pepper1.net/zwavedb/device/351), if you associate a device to group 3 it'll send on/off status to it. In this case, associate the USB stick to group 3 and InControl should hear that status and update the device appropriately.

Tried that but the issue still exists.
Thanks

It sounds like either the device isn't sending status updates like it should, or its sending something unexpected. If you can find out what it's sending (if it sends anything at all), we can make it work. You can download Zentools from the link in my signature and then watch the logs. Go turn the device on/off manually and see what it sends to the USB stick.

Sorry for my late response but i havn't had the time to test it earlier. Find below the log file after switching on and off (twice) the fibaro relay:

I hope that helps

Ryan,

Is there anything else i could do to troubleshoot the issue?

Thanks
