Vision Garage Door Detector ZG8101 - No tamper signal?

I have recently bought the Vision Wireless Garage Door Detector ZG8101 and syncing in to Indigo was easy.

Manual at for example http://www.vesternet.com/downloads/dl/f ... manual.pdf

I get nice signals when garage door opens and closes.
However, it seems that Indigo does not recognise the tamper signals?

If I set the Z-Wave log to debug mode I see activity when I pull of the cover and the tamper switch activates (I can see that as well since the red LED lights up).

This is what I see when tamper switch activates:

Tamper alarm
Z-Wave Debug RCVD requestAlarmSensorStatus: 01 10 00 04 00 67 0A 71 05 07 FF 00 FF 07 03 00 00 F1
Z-Wave Debug . . requestAlarmSensorStatus: node 103, endpoint None, cmdClass 71, type 7, value 255


Z-Wave Debug RCVD requestAlarmSensorStatus: 01 10 00 04 00 67 0A 71 05 07 FF 00 FF 07 03 00 00 F1
Z-Wave Debug . . requestAlarmSensorStatus: node 103, endpoint None, cmdClass 71, type 7, value 255


This is how the tilt on (i.e. garage door open/up) looks in the log
Door open
Z-Wave Debug RCVD sensorSetLevel: 01 09 00 04 00 67 03 20 01 FF 48
Z-Wave Debug . . sensorSetLevel: node 103, endpoint None, cmdClass 20, value 255
Z-Wave received "103 - Garage door sensor - Tilt Sensor" status update is on
Z-Wave Debug RCVD requestAlarmSensorStatus: 01 10 00 04 00 67 0A 71 05 07 FF 00 FF 07 02 00 00 F0
Z-Wave Debug . . requestAlarmSensorStatus: node 103, endpoint None, cmdClass 71, type 7, value 255


and this how the tilt off (i.e. garage door closed/down):
Door closed
Z-Wave Debug RCVD sensorSetLevel: 01 09 00 04 00 67 03 20 01 00 B7
Z-Wave Debug . . sensorSetLevel: node 103, endpoint None, cmdClass 20, value 0
Z-Wave received "103 - Garage door sensor - Tilt Sensor" status update is off
Z-Wave Debug RCVD requestAlarmSensorStatus: 01 10 00 04 00 67 0A 71 05 07 00 00 FF 07 02 00 00 0F
Z-Wave Debug . . requestAlarmSensorStatus: node 103, endpoint None, cmdClass 71, type 7, value 0



And after I put back the cover and the red led goes off I see

Tamper off?
Z-Wave Debug RCVD nodeAwake: 01 08 00 04 00 67 02 84 07 15
Z-Wave Debug . . nodeAwake: node 103
Z-Wave Debug . . . . . . . : skipping battery check (next check in 710 mins)
Z-Wave Debug SENT goToSleep: 01 09 00 13 67 02 84 08 04 72 7A
Z-Wave Debug RCVD packet: 01 05 00 13 72 00 9B (hex)

and another log example when I put the cover back, i.e. tamper should go off
Z-Wave Debug RCVD nodeAwake: 01 08 00 04 00 67 02 84 07 15
Z-Wave Debug . . nodeAwake: node 103
Z-Wave Debug . . . . . . . : skipping battery check (next check in 611 mins)
Z-Wave Debug SENT goToSleep: 01 09 00 13 67 02 84 08 04 A3 AB
Z-Wave Debug RCVD packet: 01 05 00 13 A3 00 4A (hex)


So the first thing to do is to investigate why tamper alarm is not shown in the Indigo GUI or as an Z-Wave event in the log.
2nd thing is the reset of the tamper alarm.

Anyway, as I recently learned in viewtopic.php?f=77&t=15528 I can use delayed events to reset the tamper alarm but in this case it would be better to be able to reset the tamper alarm when the cover has been put back on the device

Indigo is going to need a device definition to add the tamper switch support. I've added it to our feature request list.

He he 1 year later I took some time to re-check and finally install my Vision Garage Door Sensor / Tilt Sensor ZG8101.

A small change in Indigo since my testing a year ago. Indigo now reports tamper on and off at the same time as it reports garage door open and closed.

Here I open the garage door. Note how Indigo also sets tamper to on even though I have not opened the sensor case:

Code: Select all

And here I close the garage door and note how Indigo then sets tamper to off:

And here I open the case and Indigo properly sets Tamper to ON:

However, when I replace the cover then Indigo does NOT turn off the tamper status and I see this in the debug log:

I've corrected the device definition in 7.0.4 (not yet available). The change will prevent the tamper switch from mirroring the tile sensor. Note when placing the battery cover back on the module is not sending a command to reset the tamper switch, so after the tamper is triggered you'll have to manually "Turn Off" the device state in Indigo to reset Indigo's UI for it. Some modules send tamper reset messages but some (like the ZG8101) don't.

Excellent, thanks for the update. Looking forward to test ZG8101 (as well as many other devices ) with 7.0.4 when it has been released.

I learned in viewtopic.php?f=77&t=15528 that I can use delayed events to reset the tamper alarm since the ZG8101 does not send a tamper reset signal when cover is put back on.

Indigo 7.1.1 is now available for download and supports the tamper switch on the G8101.
