I am able to retrieve values from a Z-Wave Node through the Z-Wave JS UI. I am at a loss however on how to retrieve them programmatically in some way. zwave-js has methods to set parameters but not get it seems. What am I missing? Is the only way to do this is to retrieve the diagnostic file and fil…

You can use something like Keymaster (custom component) or one of the alternatives (can be found in these forums) to access and manage the user codes. They are not available via the integration. Alternatively you could: Enable MQTT and create an MQTT sensor from whatever usercode topics it expose…

Thank you for your reply, I do appreciate it! Keymaster is, as one user put it, “too sprawly”. I have a very unusual use case. This is for an instance to manage many locks in a mixed use commercial building. Right now it is using, wait for it, …Wink. I had started going down the route you label at 2…

I am not the only one that has reasons not to use Keymaster I guess. Release 0.2.1 is a little too new for my tastes. I think going the route mention as number 2 by you is a great learning exercise if nothing else. Thank you for your reply!

For invoke_cc_api you would use the UserCode.get API . service: zwave_js.invoke_cc_api data: command_class: "99" method_name: get parameters: - 8 Where "99" is UserCode Command Class ID, and 8 is the user ID to request. (add your entity / device id). You only need to run this command onc…

Thank you for your reply. This is very helpful. I do have some questions though. I can evoke the api call through “services” under “developer tools”. When I call the service by pressing the “Call Service” button I get a green check but where is the value? How do these calls work with respect to the…

The green check means the service call was successful. Z-Wave services don’t return values, they were written prior to HA supporting such a thing, and haven’t been updated. If they did, you could process the response in an automation. Instead the Get causes a “value updated” event to be sent by th…

@freshcoast A belated thank you for this post. My HA time got re-directed to automating and installing some new “plantation” shutters that had finally arrived after a 2 month wait. I also replaced my z-wave stick after having basic connectivity issues. In reading your reply I am going to have to do …

I’m sorry for jumping in at the bottom of this post but it’s been incredibly helpful for what I’m trying to do but I’m one step short of getting it all to work. I really appreciate the info provided above. There is no way I’d have gotten this far without it. I have the invoke_cc_api working just fi…

You’re very close, but your propertyKeyName trigger field is wrong. The trigger uses “snake case” not “camel case” naming. The docs show the valid trigger field names: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zwave_js/#example-automation-trigger-configuration It should be: - trigger: - platfo…
