--- layout: documentation title: DSB29 - ZWave --- {% include base.html %} # DSB29 Door/Window sensor Gen2 This describes the Z-Wave device *DSB29*, manufactured by *[AEON Labs](http://aeotec.com/)* with the thing type UID of ```aeon_dsb29_00_000```. The device is in the category of *Door*, defining Door sensors. ![DSB29 product image](https://www.cd-jackson.com/zwave_device_uploads/70/70_default.jpg) The DSB29 supports routing. This allows the device to communicate using other routing enabled devices as intermediate routers. This device is unable to participate in the routing of data from other devices. The DSB29 does not permanently listen for messages sent from the controller - it will periodically wake up automatically to check if the controller has messages to send, but will sleep most of the time to conserve battery life. Refer to the *Wakeup Information* section below for further information. ## Overview ### Wakeup Information The DSB29 does not permanently listen for messages sent from the controller - it will periodically wake up automatically to check if the controller has messages to send, but will sleep most of the time to conserve battery life. The wakeup period can be configured in the user interface - it is advisable not to make this too short as it will impact battery life - a reasonable compromise is 1 hour. The wakeup period does not impact the devices ability to report events or sensor data. The device can be manually woken with a button press on the device as described below - note that triggering a device to send an event is not the same as a wakeup notification, and this will not allow the controller to communicate with the device. ## Channels The following table summarises the channels available for the DSB29 -: | Channel | Channel Id | Category | Item Type | |---------|------------|----------|-----------| | Binary Sensor | sensor_door | Door | Contact | | Alarm (general) | alarm_general | Door | Switch | | Battery Level | battery-level | Battery | Number | ### Binary Sensor Indicates if the door/window is open or closed. The ```sensor_door``` channel supports the ```Contact``` item and is in the ```Door``` category. This is a read only channel so will only be updated following state changes from the device. The following state translation is provided for this channel to the ```Contact``` item type -: | Value | Label | |-------|-----------| | OPEN | Open | | CLOSED | Closed | ### Alarm (general) Indicates if an alarm is triggered. The ```alarm_general``` channel supports the ```Switch``` item and is in the ```Door``` category. This is a read only channel so will only be updated following state changes from the device. The following state translation is provided for this channel to the ```Switch``` item type -: | Value | Label | |-------|-----------| | OFF | OK | | ON | Alarm | ### Battery Level Represents the battery level as a percentage (0-100%). Bindings for things supporting battery level in a different format (e.g. 4 levels) should convert to a percentage to provide a consistent battery level reading. The ```battery-level``` channel supports the ```Number``` item and is in the ```Battery``` category. ## Device Configuration The following table provides a summary of the 5 configuration parameters available in the DSB29. Detailed information on each parameter can be found in the sections below. | Param | Name | Description | |-------|-------|-------------| | 1 | Send Sensor binary report on open/close events | | | 2 | Enable wake up 10 minutes when power on | | | 3 | Send Basic Set on open/close event | | | 121 | command class to use for open/close | parameter 4 (LSB) | | 121 | command class to use for open/close | see overview (parameter 3) | | | Wakeup Interval | Sets the interval at which the device will accept commands from the controller | | | Wakeup Node | Sets the node ID of the device to receive the wakeup notifications | ### Parameter 1: Send Sensor binary report on open/close events The following option values may be configured -: | Value | Description | |--------|-------------| | 0 | On for opened, Off for closed | | 1 | Off for opened, On for closed | The manufacturer defined default value is ```0``` (On for opened, Off for closed). This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_1_1``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Parameter 2: Enable wake up 10 minutes when power on The following option values may be configured -: | Value | Description | |--------|-------------| | 0 | No | | 1 | Yes | The manufacturer defined default value is ```0``` (No). This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_2_1``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Parameter 3: Send Basic Set on open/close event The following option values may be configured -: | Value | Description | |--------|-------------| | 0 | On for opened, Off for closed | | 1 | Off for opened, On for closed | The manufacturer defined default value is ```0``` (On for opened, Off for closed). This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_3_1``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Parameter 121: command class to use for open/close parameter 4 (LSB) Set to 0 for no report Set to 1 for BATTERY report Set to 16 for SENSOR_BINARY report Set to 17 for SENSOR_BINARY and BATTERY The following option values may be configured -: | Value | Description | |--------|-------------| | 0 | not set | | 1 | BATTERY report | | 16 | SENSOR BINARY report | | 17 | SENSOR BINARY and BATTERY report | The manufacturer defined default value is ```0``` (not set). This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_121_4_000000FF``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Parameter 121: command class to use for open/close see overview (parameter 3) set to 0 for no report set to 1 for BASIC report (default) The following option values may be configured -: | Value | Description | |--------|-------------| | 0 | not set | | 1 | BASIC report | The manufacturer defined default value is ```1``` (BASIC report). This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_121_4_0000FF00``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Wakeup Interval The wakeup interval sets the period at which the device will listen for messages from the controller. This is required for battery devices that sleep most of the time in order to conserve battery life. The device will wake up at this interval and send a message to the controller to tell it that it can accept messages - after a few seconds, it will go back to sleep if there is no further communications. This setting is defined in *seconds*. It is advisable not to set this interval too short or it could impact battery life. A period of 1 hour (3600 seconds) is suitable in most instances. Note that this setting does not affect the devices ability to send sensor data, or notification events. This parameter has the configuration ID ```wakeup_interval``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Wakeup Node When sleeping devices wake up, they send a notification to a listening device. Normally, this device is the network controller, and normally the controller will set this automatically to its own address. In the event that the network contains multiple controllers, it may be necessary to configure this to a node that is not the main controller. This is an advanced setting and should not be changed without a full understanding of the impact. This parameter has the configuration ID ```wakeup_node``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ## Association Groups Association groups allow the device to send unsolicited reports to the controller, or other devices in the network. Using association groups can allow you to eliminate polling, providing instant feedback of a device state change without unnecessary network traffic. The DSB29 supports 1 association group. ### Group 1: Group 1 Association group 1 supports 5 nodes. ## Technical Information ### Endpoints #### Endpoint 0 | Command Class | Comment | |---------------|---------| | COMMAND_CLASS_NO_OPERATION_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_BASIC_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_SENSOR_BINARY_V1| Linked to BASIC| | COMMAND_CLASS_CONFIGURATION_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_ALARM_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_MANUFACTURER_SPECIFIC_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_BATTERY_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_WAKE_UP_V2| | | COMMAND_CLASS_ASSOCIATION_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_VERSION_V1| | ### Documentation Links * [User Manual](https://www.cd-jackson.com/zwave_device_uploads/70/G2-Door-Window-Sensor.pdf) --- Did you spot an error in the above definition or want to improve the content?
