[NODE-RED] zwave-js-ui et volet roulants ZMNHCD1

VonOx · October 11, 2021, 1:40pm

This small flow allows you to control your roller shutters via Gladys / Node Red

The module I use is a Qubino ZMNHCD1

In the Gladys MQTT service, I have a device called Shutter

With a « Switch Dimmer » feature configured as follows

Be careful, the maximum value is 99

In node red I created this flow that allows you to control the position of the shutter via Gladys and update the status if there has been external control (physical button or Alexa).

The importable flow

The result in the Gladys dashboard

The MQTT topic on the zwave-js-ui side corresponds to the COM CLASS 38

Thanks for the tutorial @VonOx, it’s going to help a lot!

mikael · October 12, 2021, 5:49pm

Thanks @VonOx! I was thinking about home automating my wired shutters. This might push me to do it.

Question: what Z-Wave key are you using? Did you buy your switches?
I’m asking to compare prices with the Schneider connected Zigbee range.

VonOx · October 12, 2021, 6:08pm

Hello

The key I got it on amazon Aeotec Z Stick Gen 5
The module for the switch at domotique store

The switch is a classic bistable Legrand, it allows to keep a possibility to manage its shutters if no home automation.

Will_71 · May 3, 2022, 12:37pm

Hi @VonOx, thanks for this tutorial.

So did you install zwavejs2mqtt?
Did you use a Docker container to install it?
Can you give me more details, please?
Because I just plugged my Z-Wave dongle into Gladys and I have several types of Qubino modules to control.

Thanks in advance

VonOx · May 3, 2022, 12:45pm

Yes, nothing special, zwavejs2mqtt in a container.

The configuration is done in the interface

Will_71 · May 3, 2022, 12:49pm

Ok thanks.
And in Gladys, since you’re going through zwavejs2mqtt, you haven’t enabled the Z-Wave integration?

VonOx · May 3, 2022, 12:49pm

Ah no, no Z-Wave in Gladys, MQTT only

Will_71 · May 3, 2022, 12:50pm

Ok perfect I’ll test that tonight. Thanks.

spenceur · May 3, 2022, 5:22pm

Actually, couldn’t we redo the zwave « service » so that it launches the container plus an MQTT like z2m?

VonOx · May 3, 2022, 5:35pm

This is a library replacement, so there won’t be MQTT. You’ll need to make another integration similar to Zigbee2mqtt.

pierre-gilles · May 3, 2022, 5:42pm

We discussed it, and unlike Zigbee2mqtt, ZwaveJS2Mqtt brings little.

The choice that was made is to migrate to ZwaveJS (the lib) while keeping the UI in Gladys; it remains more user-friendly and more future-proof. As we saw with Zigbee2mqtt, running a container alongside remains a « risk » and we have much less control on the Gladys side.

A large part of the migration work has already been done by @Romuald_Pochet here =>

Will_71 · May 3, 2022, 11:17pm

@VonOx , well, not that easy actually!
No problem installing zwavejs2mqtt, adding my devices and even controlling them via the zwavejs interface… except the MQTT part I can’t get to work
I always get an error:

I think I could use your help

Will_71 · May 4, 2022, 7:24am

@VonOx, in the MQTT settings of zwavejs2mqtt what parameters did you set?
I’ve tried a lot of things but nothing works

VonOx · May 4, 2022, 7:34am

Set your LAN IP (not 127.0.0.1)

Will_71 · May 4, 2022, 8:29am

I’ve already tried but it doesn’t work!

VonOx · May 4, 2022, 8:30am

Did you launch the MQTT integration on the Gladys side?

Will_71 · May 4, 2022, 8:39am

Yes, but that might be the problem.

In the MQTT settings of zwavejs2mqtt, should I put back the MQTT port of gladys and the username/password for gladys?

VonOx · May 4, 2022, 8:41am

Yes unless you want another MQTT broker

What does the MQTT log say?

Will_71 · May 4, 2022, 9:30am

I modified and set the authentication for the Gladys MQTT broker in zwavejs2mqtt.
The error message is gone. In Node-RED, I have the connected icon so it seems to be working.
When I get home in a little while, I’ll do a real test.
Thanks to you.
