Merten Connect 505xxx/506xxx - Associations not working
Posted: 10 Jan 2016 13:26
I am fully aware of how problematic these old Merten switches are but since they are sooooo nice and fits my home very well I just wont give up...
Using for example HomeSeer 3 and Indigo I have been able to configure direct associations of both paddles to two separate devices (in my test case two one Qubino dimmer and one Fibaro roller shutter). However other functionality in these softwares makes it impossible for me to use these switches properly since the vendors claims that they can not read out which of the paddles is transmitting.
I was happy when I found the Z-Way software (running the latest version v2.1.2-rc17 on Windows 10) and saw that the software and its web gui was capabel to do a lot of nice things with the controller (mine is the Z-Wave.ME USB stick with license installed and Serial API version 5.04 and SDK version 6.51.06)
I was able to include one of my factory resetted Merten 5052xx switches into Z-Way without problems. I was also VERY happy when looking in the log that I can actually see which paddle is transmitting!

I am a little bit concerned though that the log says for example
SETDATA devices.1.xxxxx instead of SETDATA devices.11 on the instance log rows?
Anyway, here comes the screenshots of my association attempts that I can not get to work with Z-Way. I am trying to associate left paddle to a normal on/off switch (Binary Power Switch_5 from POPP, actual name Wall Plug Switch Schuko for Outdoor Use, IP44). I have been able to associate my WALLC-2 controller (left paddle) correctly and that is working fine.
