I'm making a new plugin that will listen for Z-wave alarms and notifications as well as battery reports. As I have a limited number of devices to test on, I'd appreciate feedback on how it behaves with different devices, as well as other feedback, before I proceed with the plugin.
Notification and alarm reports
Basically you can create triggers that will listen for notification and alarm reports for selected or all devices. Normally you won't know which notification reports the device will send, so the idea is that you can create inclusion filters for many or all notification reports, and then later on choose to exclude those you don't want to trigger on. There is no limit to the number of filters.
Battery reports
You will be able to make triggers for a set battery level or low battery report for selected or all devices.
Good to know
- Alpha test - features and setup may change at a later stage
- There are some differences between early Z-wave alarm reports (version 1) and later notification reports (v2-v8). Alarm reports (version 1) is not implemented as trigger yet
- To minimize load when commands are received, the plugin stores a list of indigo devices, refreshes every hour. Can be refreshed manually by reloading the plugin.
- Triggers for battery level can be set not to repeat until reset (avoid spamming every time device reports battery level). The trigger can be reset automatically when above set battery level or manually through plugin menu item.
Planned features
- Trigger for alarm report v1
- Plugin action(s)
- Possibly integration to my notification plugin, which will be updated
- ++
