Aeotec Smart Switch 7 not fully recognized (ZWA023, I think? Maybe ZWA023-A)

Configuration Z-Wave
1

I’m running home assistant in Docker, with z-wave js.
I’ve got a couple of these Aeotec switches, and the on/off works, and they report power usage on their default schedule. That’s all cool.

But they still show as unknown/unknown in the device list, and if I click Configure Device I just get a list of parameter values without labels that I cannot change.

I’d like them to report power usage more often. The description sounds simple (“set parameter 23 to the number of seconds you want”), but I don’t have any idea how to do that.

I guess my questions are:

  1. How do I get HA to recognize these devices so they’re not unknown and the configure page works?
  2. Failing that, is there a guide somewhere about how to use the Dev Tools z-wave JS services to set a particular parameter? Or can someone explain it?

Try reinterview

Configuration>> integrations>> Zwave js>> devices>> device> reinterview

For what it’s worth it is much easier to troubleshoot from zwavejs UI.

For what its worth, make sure you’re not running an old version of zwavejs. I got one of these devices back in March (or so), and it was a couple of months before zwavejs started supporting it…
The later versions of zwavejs does recognize the ZWA023.

Awesome, thanks to both of you! I had to update my zwave JS (which got it recognized but didn’t fix the config screen) and then reinterview it (an option that wasn’t there in my older version of zwave JS)

…there’s a UI? Is that part of the whole zwavejs-to-mqtt thing? Or is there another one?

Yes ZWaveJS2MQTT (which also comes with zwavejs) has a Web UI. It is what I use to manage my ZWave devices.
