HomeSeer HS-WS200+ LED control

I found a few threads from a few years ago–

HomeSeer HS-WS200+ Helper Scripts

I’ve been working on integrating HomeSeer’s HS-WS200+ Z-Wave switches into my Home Assistant installation and finally came up with a pattern that works well for me, so I figured I’d share it with the community. The code can be found on GitHub in its own repository. There are five scripts that help switch back and forth between status and normal mode, set the LED colors, and turn the blinking on and off. They’re pretty easy to call from either the API or Node Red. Hopefully these help somebody o…

Homeseer WD200+ Zwave Plus Wall Dimmer

How are you guys handling status mode with these? If I set one or two led lights to on, the switch must be set into status mode to see the leds, but turning the leds off does not set the switch back to normal mode automatically, like it does on a homeseer system. There also doesn’t appear to be any way in HA to read a config parameters for me to verify both leds are turned off before setting it into normal mode. How can I coordinate the mode with active notification LEDs? (normal mode when all…

ZWave HS-WD200+ LED control questions/confusion

I’m trying to get working a HomeSeer WD200+ dimmer switch. I’ve got HA talking to the Aeotec Gen5 and that to the dimmer. HA shows the dimmer switch as a dimmer. I can control it and automate it as a dimmer. But nothing else. I’ve read the handful of threads about this device and I’ve tried any steps I can glean from them. I’ve downloaded the latest openzwave configs from github and pointed the zwave component at them. Then I excluded and re-included the switch. Indeed the zwcfg_0xxxxxxxxx.xml …

Some are based on Open Z-Wave, but I’m about to start using Z-Wave JS on a new install. Are there newer/better solutions to control and use the HomeSeer HS-WS200+ LEDs to report status?

Alternatively, is there a way for me to use Node-RED to accomplish this? I’m new to HA YAML and a GUI would be helpful.

Thanks.

I use zwave-js now it it was much easier to control this device with zwave-js than it was with openzwave.

Go to your zwave integration devices and select the device. Mine shows as “scene capable wall dimmer” or something like that.

Click on “configure” to go into device configuration. Hopefully now you see a bunch of settings you can change on the device. Mine shows each of the LED setting for color and blink status. You’ll want to note down the parameter number for each. Then in your automation/script/service call do service zwave set a device configuration parameter. Choose the device target and fill in the parameter number and the value as they appeared in the settings page.

HTH let me know if you have more questions. I don’t check the forums often but when I do I see the notifications.

ETA: I was able to do it all in the HA gui, no yaml required.
