The issue when using the built in z-wave firmware updated is that it always seems to get stuck with the message "Please wake up your sleepy device". I get this error after providing a link to the firmware url ota file. It never progresses from that state.
Correction! The error above is the one I get when I try using the Zwave firmware updater drive code. When I try using the built in Device Firmware Updater, there are other issues:
When I select the device to update, it says "Device did not respond to firmware metadata request"
The file extension I am able to find for updating these Leviton switches is .ota, which is not one of the supported extensions listed on the Device Firmware Updater documentation.
I noticed for my devices (listed above), toggling the state on the physical device does not immediately update the logical device in HE. If the logical device has a “Refresh” button, clicking it will update the state.
Good suggestion. I did just try this and I am getting the same result: the physical turn on/off events are not registered in the hub. I am hoping the firmware update I'll be doing later this week will resolve this issue as I have a lot of these switches.
@user3849 take a quick look at this thread. It goes into the non plus switches a little bit. This will also help prevent some gotchas that might come up..
When you switched drivers, did you push configure on the device page?
Also, if you have the dzs15, there are no firmware updates for it. However, that switch uses Hail upon a physical state change, so the controller should automatically poll it for an update.
Sorry for the late reply. Somehow, I am not seeing emails when new messages are posted. No, I did not click on the Configure button. I just looked to see if I can figure out where in the devices page this button is. I even found another post where someone is asking about this button. Where can I find it?
As a side note, I did receive the aeotec z-wave stick, but despite trying different apps (Z Wave PC Controller, Home Assistant), I get stuck at some stage without a clear solution. I am fairly technical and very persistent, so that's not the issue. I might try getting a different z-wave stick.
Ok, I found it! I clicked on it after selecting Generic Z-Wave Plus Switch as the type of device and the hub is still not being updated when the light is turn on/off physically.
You should not use the poller with the DZS15. The DZS15 uses Hail to avoid the now expired Lutron patent. For best results with the device, use the "Generic Z-Wave Smart Switch" driver (not the "Generic Z-Wave Plus Smart Switch"), but do not use a poller.
Ok, so I switched it to "Generic Z-Wave Smart Switch" and I'm getting the same behavior as the other suggested options. I did use the poller and it did work for a few of my tests. I put a pause on further testing after I read this message. Given that it worked for my few tests, would there be an issue if I install all my 12 or so DZS15 switches and enable polling for all of them? I am hitting a wall when trying to update the firmware on these, and even if were to succeed in doing that, that does not guarantee that it will resolve the main issue.
I'm seeing the same behavior as user3849 with a DZS15. Used the drivers Generic Z-Wave Switch and Generic Z-Wave Smart Switch. Hit configure after each change.
