--- layout: documentation title: VMZ Solar z-wave plus - ZWave --- {% include base.html %} # VMZ Solar z-wave plus Awning Blind z-wave plus version This describes the Z-Wave device *VMZ Solar z-wave plus*, manufactured by *Fakro* with the thing type UID of ```fakro_vmzsolarplus_00_000```. The VMZ Solar z-wave plus 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. ## Overview No device information is provided in the database. Consider [updating the database](http://www.cd-jackson.com/index.php/zwave/zwave-device-database/zwave-device-list/devicesummary/750) to improve the documentation. ## Channels The following table summarises the channels available for the VMZ Solar z-wave plus -: | Channel | Channel Id | Category | Item Type | |---------|------------|----------|-----------| | Switch | switch_binary | Switch | Switch | | Blinds control | blinds_control | Blinds | Rollershutter | | Alarm (power) | alarm_power | Door | Switch | | Battery Level | battery-level | Battery | Number | ### Switch Switch the power on and off.

Using association groups can allow you to eliminate polling, providing instant feedback of a device state change without unnecessary network traffic. The VMZ Solar z-wave plus supports 4 association groups. ### Group 1: Lifeline The Lifeline association group reports device status to a hub and is not designed to control other devices directly. When using the Lineline group with a hub, in most cases, only the lifeline group will need to be configured and normally the hub will perform this automatically during the device initialisation. BATTERY ALARM DEVICE\_RESET\_LOCALLY BASIC   Association group 1 supports 1 node. ### Group 2: BasicRepeat BASIC Association group 2 supports 5 nodes. ### Group 3: MultilevelRepeat SWITCH_MULTILEVEL Association group 3 supports 5 nodes. ### Group 4: BasicControl BASIC Association group 4 supports 5 nodes. ## Technical Information ### Endpoints #### Endpoint 0 | Command Class | Comment | |---------------|---------| | COMMAND_CLASS_NO_OPERATION_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_BASIC_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_BINARY_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_MULTILEVEL_V3| Linked to BASIC| | COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_ALL_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_ASSOCIATION_GRP_INFO_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_DEVICE_RESET_LOCALLY_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_ZWAVEPLUS_INFO_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_CONFIGURATION_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_ALARM_V3| | | COMMAND_CLASS_MANUFACTURER_SPECIFIC_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_POWERLEVEL_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_NODE_NAMING_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_BATTERY_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_ASSOCIATION_V2| | | COMMAND_CLASS_VERSION_V2| | --- Did you spot an error in the above definition or want to improve the content?
