I’m using QT OpenZWave and I see in the GUI that it captures a hold function or double tap function. However, I am trying to bring that hold or double tap function to Home Assistant. Does anyone know how to capture a hold function on the light switch, and have it where Home Assistant views that as a different button or press. I want to have the hold function activate a scene while a single press of the light switch still just turns on the light.
Thanks for any tips.
Button presses are usually handled as events. There might be an entity which is the button, but it is usually for other status like battery levels, temps…you name it.
Try open developer tools > events, and type in zwave.node_event and click ‘start listening’. Then try the button and see if it shows up in the logs.
Thanks for the information. I am trying to use the zwave.node_event function in the listen to events section, however, I get nothing to display when I click start listening. I don’t get anything to display from any of my zwave nodes. I tried to do some research that says zwave.node_event has some trouble with OZW, don’t know if anyone else is having an issue with it.
Not sure if it has anything to do with me not having zwave, in my config file at all since I switched to OZW.
edit.
openzwave doesn’t have that. You’ll have to find the event topic and subscribe to it. It will be an MQTT event. I don’t have the details handy but that’s where you should be looking.
