ALARM (0x71) Support

[dolpheen]

I see there is no support for Alarm class in current z-way engine.
Are there plans to add it?

[pofs]

Alarm CC is present in z-way virtually since the first versions (mid 2013), and (I believe) it was also added in HA UI some time ago.

[dolpheen]

I saw in previous versions that 0x71 where handled by engine in alarm.data leaf of controller, now there is no 0x71 support in controller NIF, no 0x71 commandclass in controller tree, and it is not handled by controller (I tryed to test but Razberry does not see it)

[pofs]

It shouldn't be in controller's NIF, because controller itself doesn't implement it. But it is able to handle alarms from devices.

[dolpheen]

For my tests I used Fiabro Wall Plug(as Alarm Frame reciever) and Door sensor (as Alarm Frame source).
Razberry and WallPlug are in 1st Group according to manual and UI.
WallPlug recieve Alarm Frames and behaves accordingly to alarm, but I can not see alarm update not in Rzberry tree nor in z-way-log also in Z-Wave binding module the 0x71 specified but never used.

How can I check alarm frames in Razberry?

[pofs]

If you don't see RECEIVED line in the log when device's Alarm is triggered, it is not actually sent (or delivered) to controller. Could be either configuration or reachability issue.

If it is actually delivered, please provide a log fragment.

[dolpheen]

Here is my configuration.
z-way 2.0.1-rc15, Fibaro Wall Plug FGWPF 2.5 and Fibaro Door sensor FGK 2.1.

If I set up to send form Door sensor not BASIC SET but Alarm CO frame Wall plug behaves accordingly (it's blinking only on CO Frame, but not for others Generic, CO2, etc.).
For Razberry I always have only Basic SET and Binary Switch.

Update - If Alarm Broadcast mode is active for FGK Door Sensor then the Alarm Frame is recieved by both WallPlug and Razberry, it's received as Alarm Sensor Class

Don't know why the Alarm in not received(or not sent by sensor) by Razberry in normal mode, maybe some Fibaro firmware stuff.

[pofs]

In first case RaZberry receives Basic Set instead of Alarm, so could be a bug/feature in Fibaro.
What happens if you leave RaZberry alone in that group?

[dolpheen]

What happens if you leave RaZberry alone in that group?

It also recieves onl BASIC SET with or without WallPlug in the group. So, looks like a "feature" from Fibaro.
I am wondering does Broadcast Alarm Frame relay through z-wave mesh? Can it be used instead 'normal' associations?
