Hello all, hopefully you all can help me out with the issue in the topic that I will show/ explain below. Essentially, I have an Inovelli NZW37 which is a zwave outlet with 2 zwave individually controllable sides to it. In smartthings, there was a way to get 3 devices out of this switch. 1 controlled both at once, 1 controlled the left side and 1 controlled the right side. Is that createable here?
Are there other better ways to deal with this?
Lastly, I can’t get either of the 2 “controls” to show up in the drop downs when creating automations. The only thing that shows up when I choose devices under automation actions is “Gym Wall Outlet”. Thank you all for any guidance/ discussion you can give on how to deal with these in HA.
There seem to be 2 controls there, one for left, one for right. If you want to turn them both at once use groups, or just set two actions in your script/automation.
As far a setting them as actions, use service, not device. the service is switch.turn_on, switch.turn_off or switch.toggle.
Ahh, thank you for these insights. Very appreciative of both responses. And sorry for being dense but is that doable from the UI/ GUI? I’m not seeing an option for choosing the entitiy/ or “service” from the automations area of the UI.
I’m an idiot. haha. I never actually clicked on the service, I just kept skimming the list wandering how I applied the “service” command to the specific entity. I didn’t realize that section wouldn’t pop up until I actually chose one. I’m so sorry. Thank you so much for helping me with that. Sometimes i can’t see the forest for the trees. Thank you again!!
I guarantee it. Learning this stuff at the speed I’m trying to is like drinking through a fire hose. It’s not working out for me too good at some points.
Yeah I def remember having some issues originally. It’s been so long at this point, I don’t remember how I finally got them working but they are functioning properly currently.
