Neo Coolcam motion detector temperature reporting

[user2701]

Is it something I have done wrong or is my Neo acting strange?

I use it primarily as a temperature sensor and its very sporadic in sending temperatures....

For example:

I've got the temperature reporting threshold set to 0.1C which I thought should wake it up if it shifts by that much?

Or have I done something stupid...

I've just noticed.... its only reporting when the temperature shifts 1.1 degrees C....

Wonder if thats a bug?? I've just tried changing the threshold back to the driver default of 0.5C

Have have not said which model you have. For example this model the lowest you can set it to is 1 degree Celsius. What does your manual say?

Yes, thats actually the model I have I think...

Reading that doc you linked it says:

Parameter 10: Ambient Temperature Differential Report
This parameter is configured the value that differential between current measured and
previous report value. If the differential value larger than the settings, device will report this
measured temperature value to nodes associated in lifeline.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 5
Setting Description
0 - 127 Differential Value in step 0,1°C

So thats increments of 0.1C (in some european countries a comma is used instead of a fullstop...)

Mine currently looks like this:

So configVal10 is 5... which will be 0.5C interval reporting.

Only its not - I set it to 0.5 interval almost 22 hours ago and its still only reporting 1.1C interval changes

I stand corrected. You may want to try this driver.

Neo Coolcam Motion Sensor 700

I wrote a custom driver for this device using all the parameters I could find in the manual (except ones that only applied to Z-Wave Association, which I didn't implement in this driver). However, many of them don't work for me, including parameter 15, "motion clear time," which seems to remain 30 seconds no matter what I try. Pretty much the only thing the Hubitat driver doesn't offer that this one does and actually worked for me was the option for the LED blink, which I suppose is good for you…

Or this driver.

Super basic Z-Wave parameter tool

I just published a very basic Z-Wave tool for setting device parameters for all the tweakers out there...

Thanks JB - the community driver seems to have fixed it!

Very strange... but hey ho!
