Manually switching GE 12727 does not update in HA

Hi all,

I have a strange issue. I have a toggle switch that I use to turn of a fan after x minutes. I discovered that it is not changing state in HASS.io when I manually switch it on (so not turning of after x minutes either).

I can switch it on in HASS and it will show. It is also reporting as alive.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Do you have any custom configs in the zwave section of your configuration.yaml? The GE switches are notorious for not updating state, and instead sometimes need to be polled. I have a couple of these and they work, albeit sometimes slow, but here’s what I had to do in my configuration:

zwave:
  usb_path: /dev/ttyACM0
  network_key: !secret zwave_network_key
  polling_interval: 30000
  debug: true
  autoheal: true
  device_config:
    switch.under_cabinet_lights_switch:
      ignored: false
      polling_intensity: 1
      refresh_value: 1

Oh hells bells, I had no idea you could put your network key under the zwave config. Do you include it in the options.xml file also?

no. I don’t do anything with ozwcp or any other config files. I run HA in a docker container on my Synology NAS. I have found HA can handle all z wave things I need without ozwcp.

Thanks!

That did the trick, easy as that :slight_smile: .
