No, not always, as I explained above the logs are not directly tied to the events, they are two separate things. I get two logs when I manually unlock but only one state change event is posted, so I only get one alert.
@wiegout can you please post the info from your Events tab on that device?
Interesting...my Schlage Z-Wave (non-Plus) does not generate duplicate (or triplicate) events...I just unlocked and locked front door manually, and get one event for each action in logs:
Interesting, yours is wavering. I wonder if your lock is having a hard time getting acks back from the hub so it is sending the events multiple times.
The alternating events must post quickly and send to Apple HK before the hub cleans it up and shows you just the one event or something, I have not seen that before. There is no other explanation because only the actual events get forwarded.
Could also be different Schalge firmwares that are bugged which they refuse to provide updates for to the public.
Maybe I will make an info gathering driver just to capture some events and put it in the logs nice to see what we are working with here.
It's a Z-Wave Plus version, forget the firmware version. My original non-Plus lock died and they replaced it with a plus version. The lock is about 12 feet from my 8Pro hub with a Aeotec Range Extender 7 in between. Sigh. At least it works reliably. I just have to put up with my wife saying "Why is your phone going nuts?!"
Oh and it's one of two BE469 locks and both of them do this. Wish they didn't. When the wife unlocks and locks both of them I get 12 rapid succession notifications. That's super duper fun. These locks are the only thing I get repeated notifications on iOS.
from reading yours i assume you got two log entries as there are different events.. that is not the same as 3 of the same event in the log which in this driver ssems to generate 3 separate events
Hmm, I see the double log entries as well for my schlage. I am using pushover though and not the built in notifier for hubitat so I only get one notification for my lock. You could give pushover a whirl to see if that solves things (there is also a silence overide for emergencies and you can have different sounds for different notifications). Its free for 10000 messages. or a one time 4.00 purchase for life. The free version would be good for testing for sure.
as jtp alludes to with custom driver you could code it up to ignore the duplicate events even if it is buggy firmware sending them with no way to disable that.
or maybe we can talk @support to add the ignore duplicate event option to the stock driver? i recall them being removed from the supported devices so i doubt it!
Yeah probably. These are some of the devices I bought from SmartThings back in September of 2020 when I migrated to Hubitat. They actually work just fine, and replacements are pricy. So, I've been waiting for them to die since they are out of warranty.
have you looked at using the notification app instead of however you are doing it.. there is an option to only send once every so often i believe. i forget though it may just be duplicate notification for one event.. if so that wont help.
I think the main problem @wiegout is having, any why you are getting multiple notifications, is that chronologically the device seems to be wavering between unlocked and locked. Possibly the driver is issuing a refresh before the device is done so it is responding with the prior state still and then when the action is complete the device responds with the try state.
I have a rough start to a lock driver from a while ago, I will see about adding some basic stuff to capture and log events and we can all see what we get with it. That will help make sense out of whats really going on.
Hi @jtp10181 i was wo dering if you had managed to investigate this further? Ive been noticing duplicate notifications as well. I thought inhad a buggered or duplicate automation setups, but now that i look im showing duplicate events as well.
So i took an old schlage lock zwave driver and ran it through chatgpt. I gave some prompts to update for current hubitat version. To use supervised call and add alarm events. It saved in user driver codes without issue.
Im a little afraid to switch the driver for my working lock.
When im feeling brave and have the time ill take it for a test run. Fingers crossed.
