Interview
The device interview section shows the result of the device interview. In this process the controller tries to get information
about the device. In case the controller find a device description record for the device it will display further information
about the device that can not be obtained from the device itself. If the software will not automatically recognize the device
and load the description record a button “Choose Device Description Record” allows to do this manually.
The interview stage line gives information about the progress of the device interview by splitting it into the different
command classes supported by the device. ‘+’ indicate a successful interview, ‘0’ a permanent fail and a ‘.’ that this
command class is still in the waiting queue to be completed.
There are a few reasons why an interview is not complete: In most cases the devices went to deep sleep too early to have
some problems. The button “Force Interview” allows re-doing the whole interview. The button “Request NIF” requests a
Node Information Frame from the device and the Button “Show interview results” allows displaying the information about
the different command classes found during the interview. It is also possible to force the interview of a certain command
class only.
The only configuration option on this tab is to change the given name of the device. During inclusion the software
generated a generic name but it is highly recommended to change this name. The given name should be descriptive bit
not too long.
Configuration
The configuration tab allows configuring the device.
