MH-S521 - ZWave |
{% include base.html %}
This describes the Z-Wave device MH-S521, manufactured by McoHome Technology Co., Ltd with the thing type UID of mcohome_mhs521_00_000.
The MH-S521 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.
The MH-S521 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.
The following table summarises the channels available for the MH-S521 -:
| Channel | Channel Id | Category | Item Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Switch | switch_binary | Switch | Switch |
| Dimmer | switch_dimmer | DimmableLight | Dimmer |
| Scene Number | scene_number | Number | |
| Electric meter (watts) | meter_watts | Energy | Number |
| Electric meter (kWh) | meter_kwh | Energy | Number |
| Electric meter (volts) | meter_voltage | Energy | Number |
| Electric meter (amps) | meter_current | Energy | Number |
| Alarm | alarm_general | Door | Switch |
Switch the power on and off.
The switch_binary channel supports the Switch item and is in the Switch category.
The brightness channel allows to control the brightness of a light. It is also possible to switch the light on and off.
The switch_dimmer channel supports the Dimmer item and is in the DimmableLight category.
Triggers when a scene button is pressed.
The scene_number channel supports the Number item.
Indicates the instantaneous power consumption.
The meter_watts channel supports the Number item and is in the Energy category. This is a read only channel so will only be updated following state changes from the device.
Indicates the energy consumption (kWh).
The meter_kwh channel supports the Number item and is in the Energy category. This is a read only channel so will only be updated following state changes from the device.
Indicates the instantaneous voltage.
The meter_voltage channel supports the Number item and is in the Energy category. This is a read only channel so will only be updated following state changes from the device.
Indicates the instantaneous current consumption.
The meter_current channel supports the Number item and is in the Energy category. This is a read only channel so will only be updated following state changes from the device.
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 |
The device has no configuration parameters defined.
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 MH-S521 supports 1 association group.
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 5 nodes.
