I recently bought an Aeon Panic Button. I was intending on using this with a "Raspberry Pi + Z-way Razberry" Z-Wave system however I'm having trouble getting it to be recognized by Z-Way. Do you know if this is indeed possible with Z-way somehow? Note: I have many other Aeon products (PIR Multisensors, Door/Window reed switch) and they all work perfectly well with Z-way (with version 1.3.1) ... Thanks,Colin.

Hi Colin,

I bought the same panic button, and I am also having problems. The associaton worked fine and the interview worked fine too. But looks like there is no configuration file for this sensor, or something is missing. I cannot see the state of the button or do any configuration beside the wakeup time.

Hi Pastic,

I came up with a very inefficient/nasty solution to get this to work with my Z-Wave systems.
As you said, "the association worked fine and the interview worked fine too. But looks like there is no configuration file" - I agree. I did all of this and then I did the following:
I paired the Aeon Panic Button manually to a Z-wave device (GEBinarySwitch). I then wrote code that sends out a "Get()" request every 10 seconds to check the GEBinarySwitch status. This means I can now check for the panic button being pressed in code. Yes I know this is a bad solution but it achieves what I need...if anyone has managed to get this working properly I'd be very interested to hear about their solution please:-) ?

Why do you need to see the "button status"? Button has no status! It is a "sender" of event. If you need to trap events, use .bind() and use some custom code to handle it.
