How to configure the Philips Hue wall module to use push button (momentary) type wall switches [ZHA]
Do you know a way to make this work for the Dimmer Switch? I tried to follow the same steps hoping it would work but I didn’t see a “mode” attribute
Sorry, I don’t know.
Hello,
I can’t get my hue wall module (RDM004) to work properly.
I am using it with a Gira single rocker type switch (Rocker switches: When activated, these switches turn on lights/consumers, the rocker “rocks” and stays in that position until it is switched off).
In the PhilipsBasicCluster (Endpoint id: 1, id: 0x0000, Type: in) the mode (id. 0x034) value is at enum8.undefined_0x00, whitch should be right.
Regardless of whether I create a manual automation or use the “Philips Hue wall module (RDM001 / RDM004) button press blueprint”, I can only ever switch the lamp on. Switching it off does not work.
The following events appear in the logbook:
Regardless of whether I turn the switch on or off, 3 events (Turn on, On event or Off With Effect, Release) are always generated. The only differece ist the middle event.
How can I create an automation so that the lamp is always switched on when it is “switched on” and always switched off when it is “switched off”?
Thanks
Set your module to rocker mode, not push button mode.
Hello Rudd-O,
thank you for your advice, but the switch is already in single rocker mode, if I’m not wrong.
May then be an issue with how the switch is connected to the module.
I don’t know what else you can connect. The mechanical switch can only close the contact (= switch on) or open the contact (= switch off). The module also reacts to the switch, but it does not seem to differentiate between on and off or it only seems to react to left press. Left short release or left long release does not seem to trigger anything.
At the moment it only works by setting the toggle function to left short press.
I have bought a couple of the RDM004. I’ve also updated HA to 11.02 but my switch looks excactly the same. Wasn’t this supposed to be fixed with 11.00?
I thought the same, but can’t find the source where I got it from.
almost 6 months with an RDM004 in the wall, doing nothing
not having a good time trying it show up those attributes
Aaaahhhhh! So yes that quirk is not available yet in the code for later RDM modules.
It’s working now with HA 12.0
