I replaced my 8 year old Vera hub with a new Habitat C8 last week.
One of the devices I installed was an Econet EVC200 water shutoff valve, which is Z-Wave Plus Certified, according to the documentation.
After doing some research in this forum, I added it to the hub as a Generic Z-Wave Valve.
The valve operated properly when controlling it directly from the "Devices" page, as well as when it was controlled by a rule that was triggered by my water sensors.
It was only when I added the device to a dashboard, that I noticed (by the color) that the valve was reporting it was closed, when in reality it was open.
I chose the dashboard tile to show a blue tile when the water is flowing, and a green tile when the water is off.
I noticed that immediately after opening the valve in the devices page, the tile turned blue, but a few second after, when the valve completed it's rotation, the tile returned to green.
The device status also shows Switch:On & Valve:On immediately after clicking "Open", but the status changes to Switch:Off & Valve:Off after the valve has completed it's physical movement.
The log files show that when the valve is turned on (i.e. opened), that it is reported as "Valve Turned On [digital]" (see 12:05:07 in the log), but when the valve completes it's rotation (19 seconds later), it reports "Valve Turned Off [physical] (see 12:05:26 in the log). That is the point at which the dashboard tile changes color to show the valve is off/closed.
Pressing the refresh button on the devices page, returns the message "Valve was turned on [digital] (see 12:10:16 in the log), and the dashboard properly shows the valve is opened.
I have tried at least 6 different device types, including Generic Zwave and Zwave+, switches, scene switches, other valve brands, etc. The valve always reports incorrectly that it is closed a few seconds after being opened.
Can anyone suggest a work around. All I can think of is to create a periodic rule that requests a "refresh".
