I am using Z-Wave JS UI. Switching devices over from Smartthings as a new HA user.
I have a bunch of old Iris Z-Wave plugs. I am able to add the plug using inclusion in ZUI but it doesn’t add as a plug or switch so there’s no way to turn the plug on/off.
Any way to fix this by changing the plug to the proper device type? Thanks!
The first thing to try is to re-interview your device through the Z-wave-JS UI interface.
Your Z-wave devices have to be supported to function correctly. You can look up if your device is supported here: https://devices.zwave-js.io
Depending on your expertise/experience you can add your own unsupported device: Z-Wave JS - Z-Wave driver written entirely in JavaScript/TypeScript
Good luck, and welcome to Home Assistant!
I tried excluding and re-including it.
There is no simpler way to change the device “type”?
In ST we could change the handler. For example if you put any generic plug for a device like this it would make it work just fine.
No
That is essentially what my links are all about.
Some of those plugs are combination Zigbee plugs with z-wave repeaters. It looks like that might be the case here, and you are getting the correct entities showing up for the z-wave repeater functionality. So now you need to pair it with your Zigbee coordinator via ZHA or zigbee2mqtt.
