Battery powered zwave button and controlling non zwave entities

I’ve searched and haven’t found an answer to this, although I may not have been using the correct terms to get a result.

Anyways, I have a GoControl WA00Z-1 battery zwave button - https://www.gocontrol.com/detail.php?productId=12

I want to use it to control the smart bulbs in my kitchen. I’ve got the button included into my zwave network. I’ve associated zwave to zwave devices in the past, but I’ve never even thought about zwave device - to a different protocol.

Ideally I’d like the top button to turn on my kitchen light group, group.kitchen_lights, the bottom button to turn them off and possibly dimming if it’s not to much of a pain.

I do not see a way from the zwave manager to do this.

Is this something I’d need to do via automation? Coming from the switch, how would I differentiate between the top and bottom button presses?

I’ve searched and couldn’t find anything related to what I’m looking for. If someone has a resource the could share, that’d be hugely helpful.

Thanks!

Of course I’d find an answer as soon as I post a thread. I think this will get me going in the right direction.

were you ever able to get these buttons working in HA the way you wanted?

I really don’t care about using them for scenes. I just want the button to cause HA to do something when I push the button.

I did, but I went a different direction with it. I’ve started to do all of my automations in node-red since this post was made.

I ended up using virtual 3 way switches and having the light circuit always powered so the smart bulbs maintain power at all times. Using smart switches and smart bulbs together, with Home Assistant and Node-RED.

Ok, thanks for the confirmation that the buttons work in HA.

I saw them on Amazon pretty cheap (for a zwave button) and I was hoping they would work.
