Sometimes it worked for 1h sometimes 1month, but in the end the result was the same and connection was lost. Repairing helped for a while, but it happened always again. Tried pairing secured and unsecured, tried indoors and outdoor but the results was the same.
In the end I returned the device to the dealer. Unfortunately I cannot say is the problem with the device, Homey or the Popp app in Homey.
My suggestion is to contact Z-Wave Europe. With the POPP app version 3.0.0 (test channel), Z-Wave Europe has taken over the management of the POPP App for Homey.
Any news on this I just bought a POPP outdoor switch but I cannot add it as a new device to my homey, it says that un unexpected error has occured, nothing more nothing less.
Tried it multiple times, also clean reboot, also power out for 5 min and restarted, try to add but keep getting the same error message ?
Update: Had a session with POPP support, and they say that the device i got (second one) is defect. Said I had to go back to dealer and get a new one. Third time might be the lucky one
With this error, the first thing I would assume is that the device is broken.
However, I found out that there is a newer firmware for the plug, and it’s version 3.15. Unfortunately I haven’t found any history about the firmware versions. Therefore I can’t say what changes have been made, so maybe you can ask POPP.
This is the link for the new firmware. However, the problem is that Homey is not able to install a new firmware via OTA. What is needed for a firmware update and how it works can also be found via the link.
If you don’t have the possibility to do the firmware update, I can offer to send the plug to me (Germany).
Btw, this is not Homeys firmware version. This is the Node.js version what is included in the Homey firmware. The actually Homey Pro firmware is 8.1.1 (don’t know if the Homey Bridge has an other firmware no.).
I’m new to Homey. I had Telldus TellStick but it was too unreliable so I bought Athom Homey pro 2023. I hope to get more quality with more money.
Homey Forums said (like 2019) that POPP is supported and their app does indeed have an option for Smart Outdoor Plug.
But add device procedure always stops halfway. I have tried to add my POPP smart outdoor plug (pope700397) using both POPP app and homeys generic z-wave method. Homey seems to recognize the device but can’t proceed further. After 5-10 min it says “Something went wrong while communicating with the device. Please try again.”
I have three POPP smart outdoor plugs and none of them work with homey.
Anyone been able to add and use this outdoor plug?
Did you try to pair the Outdoor plug really close to Homey? I have paired 2 plugs in Popp app but had to do the procedure with the plugs 10-20 cm from Homey.
