node-zwave-js: Heatit Z-Dim doesn't restore "current value" when switching on "level"

Hi,

I own 4 HeatIT Z-Dim dimmers. I normally use the level entity (multilevel switch up/down in zwavejs) to turn ON or OFF the lights, and not the binary ON/OFF.

While this works well for 1 device it doesn’t work correctly with the 3 others. The lights are turning ON visually, but their «current value» aren’t updated with the targeting value, so programmatically they appear as OFF.

Device information

Which device(s) is/are affected (make/model)? HeatIT Z-DIM ThermoFloor

What are the node IDs?

  1. 37
  2. 42
  3. 43
  4. 44

Last Known Working Configuration

  • [x ] New device

  • Previously working device (other platform)

    • Which platform?
      • OZW Daemon
    • Have you made any recent configuration changes to the device?
    • No, all of them uses them default config. I’ve tried to compare the configurations, but they all looks the same.

Installation information How did you install node-zwave-js?

  • [x ] Other: Snap package of the latest build of Zwavejs2mqtt (1.1.0)

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

Logfile:

Here’s the code when I press the two identical toggles on node 42 (working correctly) and node 43 (which isn’t working correctly):

Just leaving a comment that the new OTA from Thermo-Floor / HeatIt solved this issue. I’m not able to attach the file here, but reaching out to them took a day until I had the file.

I’ve written them and linked to this post + the forum post that I found.

Thanks for your patience with me 😃

Thanks for the clarification 😃

I don’t mind having a door or window sensor insecure, since that’s something everyone without any technical background can see from the street (haha, read a post where this was your argument about a shutter - good one!).

But we are planning to establish this in all our short term rentals and don’t want personal data (motion sensors etc) to be readable to an outside party.

We also strive to keep costs and environmental damages to the lowest, so anything that can be flipped (turned on/off) should be secure. Some of our rentals is up to 48 000 kWh a year. 😐

Again! Thanks for all your work. I’ve put up a monthly sponsor.
