FortrezZ WV-01 water valve lost Lifeline association

[denix0]

Checklist

• I have read and followed the above instructions

• I have checked the troubleshooting section and my problem is not described there.

• I have read the changelog and my problem was not mentioned there or the fix did not work.

Describe the issue

What is happening?
Manual operation of FortrezZ WV-01 water valve recently stopped showing correct status in the UI (used to work before). Upon investigation, there's no Lifeline association to the controller. And no way to add it manually, as when selecting Root Endpoint, the Group reports "No data available"

What did you expect to happen instead?
Lifeline association to work and update the status in the UI when operating the valve manually

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to '...'
2. Click on '...'
3. Scroll down to '...'
4. See error

Anything else we should know?

Checklist

• I made sure to provide a driver log on level debug.

• The log includes a re-interview of the problematic device (if applicable).

• The log includes the problematic interaction with the device (if applicable).

Upload Logfile

Will gladly provide logs, if necessary

👋 Hey @denix0!

Thanks for opening an issue! It doesn't look like you provided a logfile though. While not strictly necessary for every issue, having a driver log on loglevel debug is required to diagnose most issues.

Please consider uploading a logfile that captures your problem. As a reminder, here's how to create one:

• Z-Wave JS UI
• Home Assistant Z-Wave Integration
• ioBroker.zwave2 Adapter

[AlCalzone]

Please re-interview the device. If it still doesn't work afterwards, share the log.

[AlCalzone]

There's nothing at all in the log. I have no clue how it was ever working. Maybe you had an automation that polled the state regularly?

[denix0]

Nothing special - no polling. I had automation that would send notification and turn off corresponding water softener plug when the valve is closed and it used to work immediately when operating manually. Now it doesn't...
According to the manual, it is supposed to support device association:
https://www.homecontrols.com/homecontrols/products/pdfs/FZ-FortrezZ/FZWV01-User-Manual.pdf
Could it be that it does not advertise the capability when interviewed due to this being an old device?

[AlCalzone]

That manual is speaking of creating associations on other devices where the valve is the target. That does not mean that the valve supports associations though. You could try sending an Association command to the valve and see if it responds. This requires a driver function and watching the logs. Something like this might work:

const node = driver.controller.nodes.get(15);
const api = node.createAPI(0x85, false);

await api.getGroupCount();

[denix0]

Sorry for the delay. All I'm getting is:

Success zwave api call driverFunction undefined

[AlCalzone]

You may be looking at the wrong logs. Enable driver logs, set them to level "debug". If you don't have "log to file" active there, they should appear in the log window.

Sorry for another delay.
Hopefully I'm getting the right logs this time:

Looks like the device does not report any association groups (no support for the CC, no response to queries). So I really have no clue how this ever worked.
