Unable to set switch intervial

[keithmichael]

Hi, I' running the latest Windows build, 104. I'm having trouble setting a config value for all of my Aeotec Smart Switch 6 devices. I'm able to adjust other values, but not 'Send Interval for Reporting Group 1' and 2, and 3.

By default the value is 600 but after you click on the field it goes to zero and you can't increase or decrease the value. Copy and paste does not work.

Loving the software so far, this is my first Issue posted on this project so forgive me if I'm missing any required info.

Can you check the config file for that device, find the Value entry for that and see if it has a Min/Max entry?
ozw-admin respects the min/max limits for each value, and its possible the config file has it wrong, or non-existent.

Can you let me know if this is what you are looking for?
<Value genre="config" index="111" label="Send Interval for Reporting Group 1" max="4294967295" min="0" size="4" type="int" units="seconds" value="3">

I have another system running HA with Zwave integrated and reviewed the same line for this working configuration.

<Value type="int" genre="config" instance="1" index="111" label="Send Interval for Reporting Group 1" units="seconds" read_only="false" write_only="false" verify_changes="false" poll_intensity="0" min="0" max="-1" value="120">
                    <Help>Defines the time interval when the defined report for group 1 is sent.</Help>

Something looks wrong. I need to check into this

I have the same issue as well on Build 106 on windows, I had to plug my controller back into zwave2mqtt, to edit these settings.

Line 1757 in e06f64e

intManager->setMaximum(internProp, value.toInt());

That seems to be relevant. I'm a frontend dev and don't work with the specifics that much, but it seems like the max value in the XML is over the max value of the int and is getting resolved to -1. Not sure if that's an issue with the XML definition in the open-zwave repo or an issue with the way ozw-admin is handling it. I'll let you take it from here.

This error affects also Aeotec HEM G5 as well. Can't set reporting intervals on the unit. Is there a way to enable polling on the admin to do polling on this particular node? The option when i check "properties" is grayed out and for the life of me, can't seems to find a place to enable polling.

Thanks for your work

This seems like it might be a problem with the device XML file. Also open-zwave is failing to properly validate input.

As mentioned, the definition of this value (and others like it) is:

<Value genre="config" index="111" label="Send Interval for Reporting Group 1" max="4294967295" min="0" size="4" type="int" units="seconds" value="3">

First of all, if you look at the Aeotec documentation for the Smart Switch 6, it says the max value for param 111 is 0x7FFFFFFF or 2147483647. The value in the config file is 4294967295 or 0xffffffff. So right away the XML does not match the user manual.

Second, as @zikeji mentioned, the value 4294967295 is larger than the maximum of a signed integer. open-zwave reads "int" values as 4-byte signed integers (int c-type), the maximum which would happen to be 0x7FFFFFFF (on x86_64 at least). When OZW reads the input "4294967295" it is converted to a signed integer as -1 (the sscanf system call does not complain).

I'm not sure why the value would be set so high, was it an attempt to work around something?

I would try changing the maximum to the documented value and see if that works. While you're at it, the manual also says the minimum value is 1, not 0.

<Value genre="config" index="111" label="Send Interval for Reporting Group 1" max="2147483647" min="1" size="4" type="int" units="seconds" value="3">

It also seems like something in open-zwave (the XML validator, or a runtime warning?) should catch these.

You can also skip ozw-admin by using MQTT directly to set the value. I don't think ozwdaemon validates the min/max.

Well, i did something of the sort. I used this project to set the value to the HEM G5. Now it is working fine on HA, reporting like it is configured to do.

EDIT: Grammar and typos

[kpine]

The HEM Gen5 config params don't specify a min and max, so it probably has a similar issue. If you look in your ozwcache file you'll see how that gets resolved. I'm guessing min and max are defaulted to 0, which means range validation would always fail.

<Value genre="config" index="111" label="Group 1 Interval" type="int" units="seconds" value="5">
