Trying to get the various status LEDs to blink on my HS-WD200. I can use the developer tools in Home Assistant to change the color of individual LEDs. For instance, Z-Wave: Set a Z-Wave device configuration parameter, parameter 22 (7th led from the top), value 4, turn the led magenta. How can I make the light blink?
Parameters 30 and 31.
yes, but I cant figure out how to set those parameters properly. Any guidance?
Ive set 30 to 1, but cant figure out how to properly set 31 to blink a specific led. Doe I need to specify a value and a bitmask? If you have an example, that would be great.
I figured it out and am putting the answer here to help anyone that might be looking for an answer in the future.
Set Parameter 30 anywhere from 1-255, i find that a 5 works well. This sets the blinking frequency of all of the LEDs IF you tell a specific LED to blink. Note, setting this parameter alone does not blink the LED.
Next…,
Set Parameter 31 to 1 to blink the LED and 0 to stop blinking the LED. You must also set the bitmask. Specify a 1 is for the bottom LED, 2 for the second from the bottom, 4, for the third from the bottom, 8,16,32,64 (for the top,7th LED)
The integration docs have examples of partial parameters. The first example is a nearly identical device, the Homeseer FC200.
- Single bitmask, in your case a single LED: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zwave_js/#examples-of-setting-a-single-parameter-value
- Multiple bitmasks, in your case you can set multiple LEDs at the same time: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zwave_js/#examples-of-bulk-setting-partial-parameter-values
Finally, you can see all the parameter values in the HA UI (with labels), or the Z-Wave JS database (with bitmasks), e.g. https://devices.zwave-js.io/?jumpTo=0x000c:0x4447:0x3036:0.0
How did you put that into an automation? I’m trying to get just one LED to blink
I’ll get back later tonight. It’s not too bad.
