Not critical—I can reverse triggers with no ill effect, I think, but it's at least puzzling.
I've had some good discussion w/ Aeotec support (very helpful) and tried various configuration changes, but nothing works—neither checking "Reverse ON / OFF commands for magnet switch" in the device settings nor changing parameter 1 reverses the state.
What I've found interesting, and the Aeotec guy said he had see on occasion before, is that when I set the reverse flag the unit appears to (according to the Indigo log) send TWO state updates for every state change: one correctly reversed and then one that is not reversed. So it's as if the second "not reversed" state/message is overriding the first "reversed" state.
So for example, when in the NOT reversed state I see, and I move the magnet close I see
- Z-Wave received "Shade Up, KIT Window (Z)" status update is off
When I move the magnet away, I see
- Z-Wave received "Shade Up, KIT Window (Z)" status update is on
when I set the parameter to "reverse" and I move the magnet close I see "double" messages (on then off)
- Z-Wave received "Shade Up, KIT Window (Z)" status update is on
Z-Wave received "Shade Up, KIT Window (Z)" status update is off
When I move the magnet away ("reverse" setting), I again see "double" messages (off then on)
- Z-Wave received "Shade Up, KIT Window (Z)" status update is off
Z-Wave received "Shade Up, KIT Window (Z)" status update is on
So the end result, after the second message/state change, is that the "reverse" is behaving the same as the normal.
Anyone have success reversing for this particular Aeotec z-wave device?
BTW, setting the reverse parameter DOES work for me w/ Aeotec's "Door / Window Sensor 7" just not the smaller 6.
Thanks.
