Feature Requests

Hi all,

Just following up here from a discussion I’m having with fellows at z-wave js

I got a few of the Aeotec Range Extender 7 (ZW189-A01). They’re paired and are reporting.

What I found out was that the soft action button is also a white light:

The light can be turned off and on by toggling the soft action button:

To toggle LED states, double tap the RE7 action button within 1 second. Doing so will toggle the LED as:

LED on.
LED off.

Would it be possible to expose the turn on and off of the LED in Home Assistant as a light switch? This could be used for automations and night lights …thanks.

Turns out, its not supported at the moment, but with can be accessed via service call, with the proper parameter request. the configuration file is here. I’m not sure which parameter it is at the moment.

Anyways, just thought I put it out there, to use this repeater as a night light also.

With ZWaveJS2MQTT, I’ve played with this LED using the Indicator CC, but from what I can tell, the indicator is a blinking LED, and all you can do is control the period of its On/Off blink time (can’t find a way to keep it solid ON). The link you supplied suggests similarly.

@wmaker thanks for confirming that! Ok, thought it would do that, but guess not.
