Oddly enough it looks like it worked on one of my black z wave 500 series but not my inovelli blues with z2m

Can you send the changed variables?

Go to “Settings” (left-hand nav bar) → “Automations & Scenes” → “Scripts” (horizontal menu at the top) → select the script (whatever you named it).
Click “Traces” (upper-right corner).
…
All the way back up at the top, click the top bubble in the left column and then “changed variables” in the bottom half of the column on the right. Send the top of that (everything before color_set:) and the bottom (from floor: invalid down).

For me, it looks like this:

The service you’re calling is script.inovelli_effects. Did you modify my code to change the name, or are you trying to call the script generated by the blueprint? You can’t change the parameters to the saved blueprint script—it just calls the blueprint which uses the variables you saved it with initially. It looks like that might be what you’re trying to do here:

Tried adjusting that but still no luck. The weird part is nothing is getting sent to the device log. I’m trying to switch over from node red and can get it to work there but not throught this script for some reason.

I do have instructions for installing the script version. Using that, you can pass dynamic values and templates.

Only thing I did was change the script name at the time of saving. I’ve tried again without renaming the script and I end up with the same result with the blue z2ms not working. I followed the directions on github for both the script and the blueprint but both do not seem to be working for my blue series. The old black series z waves seem to work without issue.

kschlichter · April 14, 2025, 2:31am

I’d have to see the changed variables text to help. If you can send me that whole text, I might be able to see what’s going on.
