Comfort Ultra II ver 7.065
ZWave UCM ver 7.061 / module 3.52

Hi,

I'm new to Z-Wave, but not Comfort. I'm trying to link the SF812 smoke detector to a zone in Comfort without success.

The Z-Wave network is up and functioning ok, with the controller. UCM and a binary power switch all working fine. I have a door sensor too, which I have associated with a virtual node and announces the zone when triggered, so that seems ok.

The 2 smoke detectors are included and their status changes can be seen using Z-stick/Homeseer. They have been associated with a Virtual Node, however, this message never reaches Comfort. As these devices (and the door sensor too) can provide multiple status messages (smoke, battery, tamper) should the Node type be Basic?

I have tried deleting and re-adding the sensor, ensuring that it is powered on during the association and learn process. I have attached a screenshot of my mapping tab.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

This sensor uses the Alarm Sensor Command Class which Comfort does not support

There are many, maybe more than 100 command classes in Zwave which makes it a headache to support, unfortunately

Can you check if it can control a Zwave light? If so it should work with Comfort via tha basic class

Note that other zwave door contact sensors like Fibaro http://www.fibaro.com/sg/the-fibaro-system/door-window-sensor operate by Basic Command Class, and is able to work with Comfort as Virtual Input

The devices with Alarm Sensor Command Class are not so common other than the Everspring products

Thanks for the reply. Is there a definitive list of the command classes that Comfort does support, so that I can avoid buying more incompatible modules? Or is it just 'Basic'?

The door sensor that I'm using is the Everspring HSM02. That works with Comfort via a virtual node, as it supports the Basic class for group 2.

Thanks
