Automations - zwave.scene_activated

Configuration
1

Just starting to write automations in home assistant really missing “blocky” from domoticz

I would like to active a input_boolean switch when I press buttom 8 on my Remotec ZRC90.

I can se the event in the Z-wave logg:
2017-10-28 10:40:48.008 Info, Node040, Received Central Scene set from node 40: scene id=8 in 0 seconds. Sending event notification.
2017-10-28 10:40:48.008 Warning, Node040, No ValueID created for Scene 8
2017-10-28 10:40:49.501 Detail, Node040, Received: 0x01, 0x09, 0x00, 0x04, 0x00, 0x28, 0x03, 0x80, 0x03, 0x5a, 0x00

but I can’t get the automation to activate

  • id: ZRC90_Knapp8_Barnvakt
    alias: “Remotec ZRC-90 - Knapp1 - Sl\xE5 p\xE5 barnvaktsl\xE4get”
    trigger:
    • platform: event
      event_type: zwave.scene_activated
      event_data:
      entity_id: zwave.remotec_zrc90
      scene_id: 8
      action:
    • service: switch.turn_on
      data:
      entity_id:
      • input_boolean.barnvakt_mode

What’s my noob error ?=)

If I get this working I would like to do this in reverse, if the buttom 8 is pressed and the input_boolean is on then turn it off

Can you fix your code block formatting? It’s hard to rule out formatting issues without it (YAML is very picky about tabs, etc)

But, I think I see your issue here. For your action, try using homeassistant.turn_on. Since an input_boolean is not a switch, the switch service will not turn it on or off.

4

You could also use input_boolean.turn_on: as shown in the example at the bottom of this page: https://home-assistant.io/components/input_boolean/

the formatting i think is OK but I don’t think it triggers despite the event in the z-wave logg…

Added another automation one with button 1 and service: persistent_notification.create but nothing happens :frowning:

Is your remote in Central Scene mode or Scene Activation mode?

See if you can find something useful here: Nodon Octan Remote (How to)

Trying to access the setting in the z-wave config but not really working right now

Seems that I can’t change any setting on my Remotec ZRC-90, anyone using it with success with HA?

If it’s battery powered, you’ll need to wake it before you change any settings.

Yes I know:

It says Remotec ZRC-90 (Node:40 Complete), so it’s awake but It there noting to select under Node Values and Node Config Options

There often isn’t for remotes, that’s normal. If you look in the attributes of the zwave. entity though, you’ll likely see is_awake: false showing that the device is asleep. Battery powered devices spend nearly all their time asleep, waking up maybe only once a day, or once a week.

sorry, your correct I thought that if I press W it could wake up but noting get

Hi there…

My question may not an answer to your question but I am looking for some help to configure my ZRC-90 . I am not able to get a respond back on the HA when I press buttons. Not sure how to do it. And you are the only person seems to be on this forum to make it work.

I can see in my HA, the device connected and no issues. But in the OZW_Log file I can see errors.

I am new to this and not sure how to read button press trigger or status on HA.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
