Missing device configuration: Philio PAN06 v1.0 and above, probably missing parameter 11

[gratjetost]

Is your problem within Home Assistant (Core or Z-Wave JS Integration)?

YES, BUT a Home Assistant developer has told me to come here

Is your problem within ZWaveJS2MQTT?

YES, BUT a ZWaveJS2MQTT developer has told me to come here

Checklist

• I have checked the troubleshooting section and my problem is not described there.

Describe the bug

What causes the bug? missing parameter 31 like mentioned in issue: #2290 but that was for the PAN04

What do you observe? switching my physical button don't send a state change.

What did you expect to happen? when i press a button, it should send the state to z-wave

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Click a switch on my wall.

Attach Driver Logfile

this is a copy paste from pressing the buttons through the Home Assistant GUI.
switching my buttons on the wall don't show anything in the logging due to (probably) the missing parameter 31 in the config.

due to (probably) the missing parameter 31 in the config.

We'll need to verify this, but AFAIK HomeAssistant doesn't let you set arbitrary config parameters. You can temporarily switch to zwavejs2mqtt though to do this - there should be a field where you enter param number, value size and value and set it.

[gratjetost]

I am running zwavejs2mqtt, but It doesn't do anything when I set parameter 31:

2021-10-17 22:57:59.434 INFO ZWAVE: Calling api sendCommand with args: [
{ nodeId: 34, commandClass: 112 },
'set',
[ 31, 2, 1, [length]: 3 ],
[length]: 3
]

It still is not sending anything when I switch my wall buttons

[AlCalzone]

Can you GET to verify that the device has the parameter and answers to it?
And please make a driver log of that attempt, loglevel debug or silly and attach it here as a file.

Wouldn't hurt to also switch the button and log that with a driver log while you're at it.

[gratjetost]

Debug mode on silly: switching the wall buttons don;t show anything in the log:

I also informed Philio, maybe they know something. I got more then 10 of these modules in my house.

[AlCalzone]

Doesn't look like the device supports the config parameter.

[gratjetost]

Looks like it. But still it's frustrating. These modules worked all on my old zipabox and athom Homey without problems. So it should be something in zwave js. Any options to check what the modules send when I press my wall switch?

[AlCalzone]

Any options to check what the modules send when I press my wall switch?

If there's nothing in the driver logs, they don't send anything. You could double check if their Lifeline association is set up.

[gratjetost]

How to check that? Im a noob in debugging. And beginner with HA.
When I press my switch on the wall the debug says nothing. And again. Switching through HA GUI works fine. Only the physical buttons (wall buttons) don't send their status.

edit:
found it!

there were no groups added at all.
Added the groups to node_id1:

and now when I switch the buttons in the wall, it shows this in the HA GUI.

But, shouldn't this be automatically done when you integrate the module to z-wave?

[gratjetost]

And another update. I added another PAN06 to my network. And it didn't work with the Groups added.
I went back to check all settings and they were exactly the same as the first one.
I noticed when I starting to get parameters (just started from 1 to 31) on my first PAN06 I had (maybe forgot) Set parameter 11 to 2.
On the second PAN06, this setting was default 1.
Put this parameter 11 on 2 and it was working.

But I cannot find what parameter 11 does. Non of the manuals I found describe it.

so this is my working solution:

[AlCalzone]

Are you actually getting meaningful reports with these associations?
I remember something where the PAN04 wouldn't report which relay the updates were from so you had to react to changes of the 1+2 group reports and then poll each endpoint in response.

[AlCalzone]

shouldn't this be automatically done when you integrate the module to z-wave?

Yes, but something might have gone wrong. I also fixed a bug in 8.5.0 related to this, maybe that affected you.

[gratjetost]

I now fully tested it. switching my lights through the wall buttons give the status to the GUI. and switching through the GUI also sends the status back.
So with that parameter 11 set to 2. everything works. manual pressing the wall buttons, and switching through the GUI/APP of HASS.

But still I cannot find any description what parameter 11 is and does.
And If I remove the groups to endpoint 0, the wall buttons don't send any status.
And If I set parameter 11 back to 1 also the wall buttons don't send any status.
So to be sure, parameter 11 MUST be set to 2. and endpoint 0 must be set like in the pictures.
