I have a bunch of ZSE41's on various doors. Every once and a while a "door closed" signal doesn't make it to the hub and so the hub falsly still sees the door as open. A simple re-open and closing of the door fixes this, however, many times, I'm not home to do this and am left wondering if the door is actually open or not.
Is there a way either via rule or setting that I can have the ZSE41 send its current status to the hub....say every 6 hours? Obviously I wouldn't want to do this too often for battery life, but I figure an update 4 times a day wouldn't be that bad.
I'm pretty sure the answer is no because as I understand it, the ZSE41's go into sleep mode when not active and so any ping from the hub wouldn't be "heard" by the 41. I'm pretty sure this can only be done via device properties, but doesn't seem to be an option in the 41 driver.
I get it once and a while as well, very rare but sometimes happens on my basement door and then I start getting alerts. Open and close will clear it as you said. (This sensor is about 4 ft from the hub when the door is closed!)
You can set the wake interval to be lower. That will only make it wake up and report battery though. Once that is done you could use RM to schedule a "Refresh" command. When you run Refresh it cannot refresh right away because device wont be awake, but the driver waits for the next wake up. So if you run Refresh every couple hours and then have the wake up interval set to 6 hours it should update the open/close status every refresh.
Possible, but not likely. It did the same thing all the time when I had ST. I could sit and watch the door close and see the blue light flash and no update. This is the first time it has happened since my HE migration, so a huge improvement!
This device is about 15ft from the hub....with nothing but air inbetween the two. I don't think a repeater would do much in this situation.
I was using a different custom driver that didn't have the "Wakeup" paramter. I just changed to your driver and will to that.
So if I understand you correctly, If I creat a RM Refresh command to happen on the 6's and 12's, and then set the wakup interval to 6 hours....even if the time that the device "wakes up" is not the same time the rule runs....the rule command get held by the hub until the wake up event event happens?
edit: In the action portion of RM, the zse41's do not show up as a refreshable or pollable device. Is there a way to get them added as a refreshable device?
Yes basically, the driver basically the command up to happen at the next wake up.
You have to do a custom action in RM and select it from there. I have the refresh as a custom command as to not confuse anyone, since its not an instant refresh like other devices.
If this happens to be a door that is typically shut (and not left open for long periods), you could set up a basic notification too...
Our closet doors (all zse41) sometimes don't quite catch their full latch, so if one of those sensors is still open after 30 minutes, I get a "ZYZ door likely ajar" notification.
For us, it's not a huge deal or security risk, so I just like to get a head's-up to follow up on it (then or anytime later).
I do have notifications. These doors are on outside accessable doors on our detached garage and not visible from our house. Kinda annoying to have to go all the way back there to open and close a door to reset.
