No device information is provided in the database. Consider updating the database to improve the documentation.

Channels

The following table summarises the channels available for the VMZ Solar z-wave plus -:

Channel Name	Channel ID	Channel Type	Category	Item Type
Switch	switch_binary	switch_binary	Switch	Switch
Blinds control	blinds_control	blinds_control	Blinds	Rollershutter
Alarm (power)	alarm_power	alarm_power	Energy	Switch
Battery Level	battery-level	system.battery_level	Battery	Number

Switch

Switch the power on and off.

The switch_binary channel is of type switch_binary and supports the Switch item and is in the Switch category.

Blinds control

Provides start / stop control of blinds.

The blinds_control channel is of type blinds_control and supports the Rollershutter item and is in the Blinds category.

Alarm (power)

Indicates if a power alarm is triggered.

The alarm_power channel is of type alarm_power and supports the Switch item and is in the Energy 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 system.battery-level channel is of type system.battery-level and supports the Number item and is in the Battery category. This channel provides the battery level as a percentage and also reflects the low battery warning state. If the battery state is in low battery warning state, this will read 0%.

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 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.

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.
