Aeotec Smart Switch - How is yours configured ?


AutoFrank

Question

Hi,

I was recently told by fibaro support that my aeotec smart switch was one of the busiest in the zwave network.

My was excluded from polling so I wanted to see how people had set theirs up and if they changed the default values

 

This is how mine is setup and I was wondering if anybody had some tips

Polling : Exclude from global polling

 

Parameter 3 Current Overload Protection
Load will be closed when the Current overrun (US: 15.5A, other country: 16.2A) and the time more than 2 minutes

0 - disabled

 

Parameter 20 Output Load Status
Configure the output load status after re-power on

0 - last status

 

Parameter 80 Notifications to associated devices
Enable to send notifications to associated devices (Group 1) when the state of Micro Switch’s load changed

1 - hail status

 

Parameter 81 Configure the state of LED
Configure the state of LED when it is in 3 modes

0 - The LED will follow the status (on/off) of its load (Energy mode)

 

Parameter 83 RGB value

25W

 

Parameter 92 Minimum change in wattage in percent
The value here represents minimum change in wattage percent (in terms of percentage) for a REPORT to be sent.

5%

 

Parameter 101 Which reports need to send in Report group 1

Auto send Meter REPORT (for voltage) at the group time interval

Auto send Meter REPORT (for current) at the group time interval

Auto send Meter REPORT (for watt) at the group time interval

 

Parameter 102 Which reports need to send in Report group 2

Auto send Meter REPORT (for kWh) at the group time interval

 

Parameter 103 Which reports need to send in Report group 3

nothing set

 

Parameter 111 Time interval 1

    Just checked, I set par. 3 to 1, the over current protection.

     

    To bad we don't have a way to see how much traffic devices generate.

    yep..  but hopefullly we will have it sometime..

     

    When fibaro were remoted into my HC2 this week I asked them to check how busy the traffic was and this is what I got back which was great

    Please login or register to see this code.

    its a mix of devices and vd's but useful either way

    interesting last comment though with the icons..

     

    BTW - the ID's are the following...

    This is very interesting, we need to see this.

    If a vd is generating big amounts of congesting traffic due to bad code or a typo it could disrupt your whole house and have you searching endlessly in the wrong places.

    Watch out for devices reporting "power". Some loads may appear constant to us, but are in fact pulsing. An example from my house: Jura espresso machine. When the machine is on and it is idle, it pulses to keep temperature constant. The pattern is 1 second on, 1 off, 1 on, 5 off. So it roughly generates 30 power reports per minute. Well, it would do that if I had it connected to a Z-wave plug, which is not the case.

    Thanks @petergebruers

    I'll talk a look at my loads and see if any match the above profile...

    I added mine to my HC2 but looks strange.

    It is saying not configured, no matter what I tried (like soft reconfigure), and it seems Its doubled.

    Any suggestions on this?

    Hi @AutoFrank how did you see the parameters of your Aeotec switch? I also see frequent power reports from mine, but if I go to the Advanced tab it does not show any parameters that I can set.

    I found it. I unticked the "Use template" and I can then add the parameters manually.

    Did you ever manage to reduce the frequent power reports @AutoFrank ?
