Catch events and store data

[Devour]

Hello everyone

I'm from Switzerland and it's my first time here on the forum.

In the near future, I will have 60 multisensors (from Aeon Labs) and just would like to catch events when values change and then store them somewhere. I can already test ZWay with 1 multisensor. A script or custom file could be nice. Do you know how I can do it ?

Even after reading the manual of ZWay Developper, I don't understand all.
First of all, I tried, without success, to put the bind function into the URL with the JS API (like in the zWayDev manual page 42). By the way, I don’t see where to write commands in what the manual calls « the server side » .

Can you show me an example how to bind the value of a multisensor and where to write it ? (URL, script or custom file)

Thanks in advance

You could use Sensor values logging in automation

Z-Wave HA ?

Yes

I don't know for you, but when I launch the Z-Way HA interface, there are almost nothing inside... So I don't see what n0ahg means by logging in automation. There are no login for me.

Thanks again

What version are you using? 1.7.2 is the latest and most stable of the official rleases.
Look at -Preferences-Automation
Click the + sign in the lower left corner. That will bring up a screen where you van select a module
In your case Sensors logging, and fill in similar to the below screen.

The logged data are stored in directory: /opt/z-way-server/automation/storage

Oh yes I see these features and I can do it now. But I don't know which version I use and how to find it. I updated Z-Way less than 2 weeks ago.

I'm not near the RaZberry so I don't see where the JSONfile is stored inside the controller. Do you know ?

Thanks

Use http://Raspberry_IP:8084/ to get at the Z-Way Configuration Interface. Look there under Advanced/Firmware.

The storage directory is /opt/z-way-server/automation/storage

That function is so perfect.

Is there a way to make logging for other parameters in sensors ? Something like manufacturer, model or a specific name or any other things ?

Thanks again

If I should store more informations for any reasons or to be more flexible, what do you advise me to do ?
To use the ZAutomation API and add some UserModules or develop something with the JS API ? I'm a little bit confused with all these technologies (zDev, vDev, ZAutomation, etc..) inside the Z-Way.

Thank you for your replies
