I’m trying to set some info in a device custom attribute however it doesn’t seem to persist? When I read from that device afterwards, or check in homeassistant states I don’t see it there. I used to do this in Vera (before it died) to save some persistent state relevant to the device.
Q1 - Is this possible? Should you able to persist a custom attribute?
Q2 - If yes, why doesn’t this code below work? Am I missing something?
Q3 - Is there a limitation in terms of the type of devices you can write custom attributes to to be persisted.
Code:
import appdaemon.appapi as appapi
class test(appapi.AppDaemon):
def initialize(self):
self.listen_state(self.test_callback, "input_boolean.test_switch", new = "on")
def test_callback(self, entity, attribute, old, new, kwargs):
state = self.get_state("zwave.switch_3", "all")
self.log("zwave.switch_3 BEFORE: %s" % state)
state_2 = self.set_state("zwave.switch_3", attributes = {"TestAttribute": "Testing_456"}) # <== ** HERE **
self.log("zwave.switch_3 AFTER: %s" % state_2)
Output
