Disabling zooz dimmer from turning on

I was wondering if there’s a way to disable a switching from turning on. Basically if someone manually or via app tries to turn on the lights, well they won’t be able to. The idea is to not allow the light to turn on while watching a movie.

Perhaps you can provide a bit more detail on which “zooz dimmer” you have. E.g. the model.

My ZEN72 has a smart switch control config parameter (param 15) which supports this. https://www.support.getzooz.com/kb/article/538-zen72-dimmer-switch-advanced-settings/

In HA the “Smart Switch Mode” configuration entity can be enabled to use for automations (by default it’s disabled).

See if your dimmer supports the same.

It’s a Zooz ZEN30 Z-Wave Plus S2 Double Switch.
Looks like it has it but Parameter 19
So how would i go about setting this up in hassio?

For example, how can i create an automation where the switch is disabled if my Denon avr is on?

media_player.denon_avr_x3800h is on.

How do i access this setting via code:

Ok i think I’ve found it:

service: zwave_js.set_config_parameter
    target:
      entity_id: YOUR_ENTITY_ID
    data:
      parameter: PARAMETER_NUMBER
      value: NEW_VALUE

That works, or you can just enable the Configuration select entity that has the similar name and use a normal entity for automation.

Same thing basically:
