Z-Way server does not report same value multiple times

Hi All,

For logging purposes (InfluxDB/Grafana) , I want my fibaro FGMS-001 multisensor to report the temperature every 15 minutes, no matter if the temperature has changed or not.
I can do this by configuring parameter 64 to 900, which seem to wotk out fine.
however, when there is no change in temperature, I do see the device report it's value in the sniffer, but the Z-way gui events screen is not displaying this same value again, 15 minutes later.
It seems that z-way events screen is only displaying changes and is ignoring the same value reported again if it is unchanged.
As a result, I'm also not getting that value into node-red every 15 minutes when there is no change.

Expected behavior: Also display the event, even when there is no change.

I've attached two screenshots in which you can see that the same value is reported at 10:48 in the Zniffer, but there is no value vissible in the event monitor at 10:48 (because no change)

If think it is somewhere here:
https://github.com/Z-Wave-Me/home-autom ... ce.js#L235

You can remove this check and get every value change.

OK, I'm not a developper but can you make this an option in next version or something ? I really do not like to change code which might be overwritten in new versions.

Well, this will produce quite a lot of useless traffic, i/o, events and might affect many aspects, so this is not something we can do for all users. I understand your frustration, but we need to think carefully and test before changing this.

For data logging I use the app „sensor values logging“. It executes HTTP requests or saves to a JSON file every time a sensor updates, no matter if the actual value has changed. Maybe this could be an option for you?

Can someone explain how to use Sensors Value Logging App.
Simple recording service recommendation?
