Hey All, First time user and Poster.
I currently use Openhab but was taking a look at Home Assistant as there are a number of devices that have already had extensive work done to integrate into HA. However I have noticed that a number if my Z-Wave devices have come up as unknown and while the standard on/off function works I am unable to send commands to turn things on like the LED Backlights on the buttons etc (for some reason they have just turned off after re-adding to the system).
When I purchased these I added the entry to cd-jacksons DB. (https://www.cd-jackson.com/index.php/zwave/zwave-device-database/zwave-device-list/devicesummary/691#overview) in order for it to be recognised OpenHAB. What is the process to get this added so that HA will recognise it and allow me to send commands to said device?
Only config files for OZW 1.6 are being accepted. If you are using the zwave integration, you’ll have to use the 1.4 format and manage your own config files.
If you are using zwave though, you can set the config values manually with the set_config_parameter service call. Make sure the size value is set.
Thanks for the reply. I couldn’t find the option to do service calls anywhere in the UI, I will need to do some more reading.
I will see how I can contribute my config to OZW, it does seem a rather extensive process.
I have created my templates, and added them into the HA XML, They are no longer coming up as Unknown, however sending the command to increase brightness on the backlight doesn’t seem to do anything
