Rafael, It is not. I upgraded to edge for this one. They have a $50 rebate deal going this month.

Hi JAN, I have some more info for you. We are all getting stuck on step 2. I can not get past this step without an error.
- If you hold the action button for 10 seconds, it blinks a red light (once) and then nothing
- If you hold the action button for 5 seconds, it blinks a yellow light for about 20 seconds then errors (purge associations)
- If you hold the action button for 7 seconds, it blinks a purple light for about 20 seconds then errors (Getting secure classes)

There’s something we are all missing. Can you verify I have the right firmware (below)? Also, can you try the set up again and watch the LED light on the front while setting up?

Vera Edge firmware version: 1.7.1248

THANKS! Completely lost without you.

Hippo,
You mentioned that it “stopped blinking” – if the sensor was blinking before you pressed the action button for 10 seconds it means that it was probably still communicating with the controller. Try excluding it and adding again, then wait for the led indicator on the sensor to go out, you should see all child nodes on the dashboard by that time. Continue with pressing the action button for around 10 seconds (but not more than for 15) only after the MultiSensor does not blink anymore. Maybe that will help!

I’ve failed to get this to work myself. The difference I see between what I’m experiencing and the instructions here is that my device stops blinking (red) when I hold the button down for 10 seconds to put it in wake-up mode. The article here implies it keeps on blinking, mine does not. So I end up with 5 devices – none of them appear to be doing anything useful, and the GET_LANG(genericsensor,sensor) I have zero idea about. There is red text below the PIR sensor saying “Purging associations” and I cannot seem to get beyond that point.

Hi guys,
Sorry for not replying earlier. I guess I was not clear in the post about the device type, I chose “Generic Z-Wave device” from the list and by secure I meant adding it by click TWICE on the action button on the MultiSensor. This will allow for the device to be added as a Z-Wave Plus and should get rid of the error. Also make sure you have your Vera updated to the latest version of the UI7.

I hope that was helpful! Let me know if I missed anything.

Andrew…. Yes, I have the same problem (purge associations) with VeraEdge. I’ve wasted a little too much time trying to get this thing to work. I guess we better wait for Vera/Aeon to sort things out.

Have you run into this causing VeraEdge to continually try to purge associations and never finish setting up the device?

Hello, I’ve tried it 5 times now. I think I’m missing something. I do not have an option for “add it to your Vera as a secure Generic Z-Wave device” I have the generic option but no secure generic. Does yours say secure? Seems to be getting hung up at “Getting secure classes” – Thank You!
