Refresh_value automation issues

Configuration Z-Wave
1

Hello,

This is my first post here. I have a Qubino ZMNHJD1 with the Qubino Temperature sensor and it seems that the module do not send automatically the value of the temperature when it changes to the controller.

As it is not automatically updated, I tried to create a HA automation but I encounter a weird issue that I do not understand.

The first execution of the refresh_value automation, I can see that the controller is queried and air temperature value is correctly updated. But it only happens once. The following executions say error:type. Here is a more detailed of what I have done and what log was saying :

What version of HA are you using?

Since you’re using z2m, it has value polling built-in. You will probably find it easier just to setup polling there.

Thank you for your answer.

I am using the latest stable version of HA core-2021.12.10 1 supervisor-2021.12.2 installed in a VM on a Debian 10.
Basically I use official z-wavejs add-on. I witched temporarly to z-wavejs2mqtt add-on to diagnose a little bit what was happening.

I tried polling as you adviced me and it correctly works.

Now, I would prefer to continue using z-wavejs official add-on except if there a plan to make z-wavejs2mqtt official !

@pinomat were you ever able to get refresh_value automation to work correctly? I’m having the same problem where the automation on runs once and then it throws the same exact error you are getting.

Hi @ronluna, I added service automation.reload at the end of the actions.

service: automation.reload
data: {}
