[macrho]

I also placed an order for 2 and an aeotec smart switch as well as some velcro (to get over $150) and then applied a $30 coupon . plus free shipping. not bad

I am having the same problem. Guessi'll have to include it a4th time? Didyou exclude it after each time?

[dferrey]

Yeah, I went through all types of things, including excluding.  Finally it worked.

Perseverance won out

It worked now, after the 6th time.  I suspect it will only update the node/configure if the lid is out.  If you pair, and immediately put the cover back in, the thing will not receive the initial configuration.  I don't know just guessing, it's working now.

Weird. I switched Vera 3 into include mode then inserted the battery in teh sensor and set it on top fo Vera. Included within 30 seconds.
I left it alone for another 15 minutes as from experience I know battery operated devices seem to take a while to properly include.
After that I put the cover on and flipped the sensor a few times. Vera everytime made the green man into a red man and vice versa.
Took it to the garage and stuck it to the top panel. It has been working seamlessly since.

I wonder if yours came with a battery past it's prime and might benifit from a fresh CR123

So I just received an configured my ecolink tilt sensor. It seems to work fine to tell me whether the door is closed (green man) or open (red man).   Can someone advise me on how I can set up so I can receive an email notification if the door is left open for a specific amount of time (say 10 mins?) 

Thanks.

It can be done with PLEG.

[wirebender06]

I'll check out PLEG,

Also, Now on the control panel on my computer it said "Waiting for wakeup to configure device".  Does anyone know what that means and if I need to and how to get rid of it?

[BulldogLowell]

it will wake up on its own and the configuration will get sent to the device, or you can wake it up by pressing the wakeup button on the device and force it to happen.

Hi,

I got my tilt sensor in the mail a couple of days ago and flat out cannot get it to pair with my Vera3.

1. I have tried pairing from the web interface and by using the zwave button on the front of the Vera.
2. I have take the battery in and out multiple times.
3. I have set the tilt sensor on top of the Vera3 and near it.
4. I have unplugged the Vera3 and plugged it back in to reset the base unit.
5. I have tried pairing the tilt sensor with the cover on and off.

I have not went out and bought a new battery, the one that in came with is a panasonic that says it is good until 2022 but I have not tested it to see if it is any good per se. The red led comes on when putting the battery in. I could let it sit on top of the Vera3 for like an hour in pairing mode and see if anything happens.

Is it time to return it to Staples for another one?

[BulldogLowell]

Did you try to remove it from the ZWave network first?

[ctbaker]

Did you try to remove it from the ZWave network first?

No. I can try to do an exclude and then try to include and see what happens. I know I had that problem when replacing a bad wall switch once. I'll give that a shot, thanks.

UPDATE: That did the trick, thanks for the help!

This looks and sounds identical to my "ZG 8101EU" from "Vision". I notice several of you mentions there are no switch to include/exclude etc. On mine the tampering switch is the one for inclusion/exclusion (metal switch inside the housing, it gets pressed by the cover). Hold for 1 second to include/exclude.

So I have 3 of these all work. Added to network without problems. What I want to know is there a way to reverse the status reporting? I used 2 on the grave doors work performance perfectly. The 3rd I have placed on attic door. This door being horizontal when closed works if you know that is the case but would be nice to have it report properly with a minor configuration change or device edit.
