zwave switch status

I cannot seem to have a sensor reflect that status of my GE Z-Wave light switch when I operate the switch manually. I do see the following in the zwave.log:

Switch manually turned on:

Switch manually turned off (looks the same to me):

Other than following the how-to instructions in the OpenRemote Designer documentation for setting up a simple Z-wave on/off switch/sensor, is there something else I’m missing or that I can look at? The switch status does reflect properly when I use, say, a button on the web console interface to control the switch, just not when I hit it manually.

I have a garage door sensor that does actually reflect the status properly when it changes.

Thanks!

You have to configure an association from the switch to the controller (how to configure an association see http://www.openremote.org/display/forums/New+Z-Wave+2.0.0+Release) otherwise the switch doesn’t know where to send the status update.

It sounds stupid but there are switches that are not capable of reporting status updates after manual operation. I don’t know if the GE switch has the so called “instant status” update feature (search for “instant status” and “Lutron patent” and you’ll find more information about this issue).
