I purchased a Homeseer HSM200 line voltage multi sensor. I am running a brand new Zooz z wave hub. The pir function and the temperature sensor both work, they report to the hub and will start automation’s.
One of the reasons that I purchased the sensor was I read the RGB lamp has its own sensor input called color controller. You can program triggers to activate the RGB light with different colors depending on what scene was triggered. I can not get the RGB lamps to work. I tried with scenes and code no luck. Zooz tech support( which has been very disappointing) said you cant control the RGB led’s. They suggested a Home seer product was the culprit. The product is a registered Z wave device, so I believe it will work.
any suggestions on how to get the Homeseer HSM200 z wave multi sensor to work on my Zooz hub would be helpful.
Hello. Researching that sensor a bit I found this:
The Homeseer site for that sensor says it may require the Homeseer hub for full functionality: specifically:
“ Non-HomeSeer Compatibility
Most non-HomeSeer hubs will recognize HSM200 as a BINARY sensor with ON (for motion) and OFF (for no motion) status. Temperature and Luminance reports may or may not be detected. If the hub does not support the Z-Wave COLOR CONTROL command class, it won’t be able to change the RGB LED indicator. Be sure to check with your non-HomeSeer hub manufacturer for more information about compatibility.”
Which hub do you have? Are you using a Zooz Z-Box or are you using the Zooz 800 dongle with another system? (Wasn’t sure what you meant exactly by ‘Zooz zwave hub’)
If I can get one of those sensors I’m happy to test in my lab. Of course the Zooz folks can chime in here as well, as they likely already know the real answer.
Edit: I found one and it will be here tomorrow - I’ll let you know what I discover!
Good Morning. Just a quick update. I did receive the HSM200 yesterday and was able to add it to the z-box without issue. I can control the light and its colors directly but it has some peculiarities. Also controlling via a block script is not working properly for setting color but I think I see the issue and may be able to resolve. Give me a few days to work on this and I’ll post what I find. May even turn this into a video for ease of explanation.
In short this device seems to be meant only for Homeseer. It seems that Homeseer did some things trying to lock it to their hub, like encrypting the firmware update so it can only be performed from a Homeseer hub! Not a friendly device, imho.
So when you have a chance, please let us know exactly which hub you are using (z-box vs something else with a Zooz dongle , etc). Also please post what firmware version your HSM200 is currently on.
