Comfort Automation/ Security System Forums

I\'m trying to get Zwave setup with my Comfort install as there are some Velux windows I need to monitor using Zwave open/close sensors.

Zwave UCM is installed and detected and has an aerial installed. I use Samsung SmartThings as my primary controller of the Zwave network. I clicked Read from EEProm and then it says UCM/Z Wave not in any network (which if I read the guides correctly, that should be how it shows up first time). I then clicked Learn and it just stays at \"Waiting for response from Z Wave\" indefinitely.

I set the Timeout 1 and Timeout 2 in Comfort Server Manager to 05 (is that 5 mins?).

If it helps, I also have a mini PC running Jinx lighting control software and a Linux box running OpenHab. I have a Zwave USB stick (can\'t recall which supplier) so could perhaps try that route if there\'s an issue with SmartThings.

Looks like I\'ve made some progress. Went into Samsung SmartThings app, scanned for devices and clicked Learn in Comfort at the same time. A Zwave controller device came up in SmartThings so I renamed it Comfort Zwave Controller and added it. The \"Waiting for Zwave response\" disappeared right away and it seemed to work, status bar now says Normal/No error.

The Zwave Mapping tab looks light, just has one PC Controller, 4 Slave-Repeater Slave devices, and a Static Controller. Can\'t recall which of my devices on SmartThings are Zigbee and which are Zwave, but thought I had more than 4 devices, possibly not.

Question now is do I need to add the window/door sensors in SmartThings, ensure they are working correctly there, and then rescan in Comfort? So, in essence, Comfort controls nothing but is part of the Zwave conversation in that it hears everything going on and can add to the conversation, but it does not act unilaterally? Think that makes sense if so.

The UCM/Zwave is a Secondary Controller in Zwave. It can only learn the zwave network from the Primary controller. All zwave nodes must be added first by the primary, and after that UCM/Zwave can Learn or relearn the network
Note that some Zwave devices like Fibaro FGD212 dimmmmer which use encryption is not compatible, unless there is a non-encryted mode
