Hello community I’m going to try to make a long story short here. I purchased a Zooz zen15 plug for my dryer to monitor the watts . This was a zen15 with firmware 2.0 . After a few hours I noticed there was some issue with the plug. I reached out to Zooz support and they sent me a new zen15 with the 2.10 firmware. At this point I removed the zen15 with 2.0 firmware I did this by the Zwave exclude within the Zwave settings . One day has passed and I got my new zen15 with firmware 2.10 . So I added the zen15 with 2.10 firmware and noticed the setting are the same as the 2.0 firmware. However the new 2.10 firmware shouldn’t allow you to turn off the overload protection as Zooz stopped allowing users to turn it off on 2.10 .
So to clarify my question I added a zen15 with 2.10 however it’s not giving me the 2.10 options it’s giving me the 2.0 option even know the plug is 2.10
Someone asked this in the FB group recently, and the answer is the same here as it is there: with rare exception (e.g., the new "Generic DT..." Z-Wave drivers), updating firmware doesn't automatically change anything in the driver unless the driver author knows about it (and the driver was written to respond in this way). Additionally, and Hubitat built-in drivers do not always include every advanced feature of a device, often only the most common options. The reason here may be some combination of these two.
So, there are three possible solutions here:
Request the functionality be added to the built-in dedicated driver (I'll look into that);
See if the "Generic Z-Wave DT Binary Switch" driver or something else that seems like a good match offers the functionality you need (this is a new enough device it should be able to read the configuration parameters from it; however, it does not appear to support power metering--but you can switch back after changing a parameter); or
Use a custom driver such as the one recommended above if you are comfortable doing so.
In any case, this is something to keep in mind for all devices, firmware updates, etc. in the future.
I just double checked my source code and I do have special provisions in there to account for ZEN15 1.06 all the way up to 2.10 firmware changes. My driver should give you access to every setting for the 2.10 firmware unless I missed something on accident.
There are parallels with the ZEN04.
I found that the ZEN04 reliably turns off at a certain current (don't recall).
But, if you set Auto/On to whatever you want, it'll reset.
My understanding was in the 2.10 firmware you should have the option to pick the delay for the overload protection 1-5 as it say in the SC. However Zooz sent me a 2.10 plug and I don’t have that option I have the old 2.0 option for overload protection on or off . That was the whole reason why Zooz sent me the 2.10 plug because my dry would keep triggering the overload protection on start.
How do you set them manually? My dry runs at 200 - 350 watts consistently with very short peaks of 700 - 800 watts . For some odd reason only on start the zen15 is pick up 2604 watts randomly only for half a second. But with the 2.0 it would trip the over protection. I tired other plugs 2 other plugs and I’m not seeing anything over 800 watts .
I think you should try @jtp10181 's driver. He says the 800LR version should be covered.
Stock Hubitat drivers many times aren't that good, hence the need for Community drivers.
Also, I see with the latest UI design, there's no attribution to the creator.
There was never a great way to do this; previous attempts I've seen involved exploiting unofficial parameter values or definitions for commands or inputs (preferences) or CSS "hacks" made by doing the same. The new UI changed significant portions of the device detail page (no longer necessarily even a page itself), and some thought is being put into how if/how this kind of display-only information -- not necessarily just things like this -- can be made possible in a more formalized fashion (i.e., any at all considering there never really was one). But there is nothing intentional in the new UI that "got rid" of anything like this.
I think I will probably download his drivers as they seem the best option. Also noticed the zen15 is reporting 0.475 watts when the dryer is totally off . Is it normal to see this ? I’m guessing it’s from the plug itself.
Only you can answer that -- by knowing whether you installed any custom drivers. If not, you are using a Hubitat driver. The name in your screenshot matches a Hubitat built-in driver -- i.e., provided and created by Hubitat -- so that seems like the most likely scenario to me.
Manufacturers may offer their own custom drivers (Zooz often recommends ones created by contractors or trusted parties; not sure if they do officially for this one, but there is one above). These would have be added manually to your hub, so you'd know that you did so. After doing so, they may be selected automatically when adding the device (typical if it contains a matching "fingerprint" as they often do), or you may have to manually choose it later.
That's nothing, lol.
Is the dryer's WiFi on?
What model is it? Heat pump dryer, or combo?
Just curious, since I have an LG Combo.
edit: I wonder if the unit measures its own consumption, lol.
