SOLVED—1st time Z-Wave automation returns zha error!

I am running HA on a Yellow with Core at version 2025.3. Z-Wave JS Addon and Integration is installed. A Zooz Z-Wave GPIO board is installed in the HAY at v1.15.

I connected a SSA1 Siren Strobe to the Z-Wave network. I can turn the strobe on and off with a Lovelace selector.

I set up my first automation to turn on the strobe on the SSA1 Z-Wave device. Traces show a zha error while turning on the strobe! That’s not a typo! Zha

I setup the automation through the front end dialogue. Traces show platform: zha. I’m not sure what platform to use for Z-Wave. I have no idea how the automation dialog selected zha.

Can you tell from the screenshots what is wrong and how to fix it?

ZHA is ZigBee and will not work with Z-Wave. Please post your Automation code.

Yeah, after posting my query, I went back to the Automation frontend and discovered I picked ZigBee instead of Z-Wave for the action. I selected Z-Wave and it works fine. I read those posted docs but made a careless error setting up the automation anyway.

I appreciate your response and apologize for wasting your time.

I tried to delete my post last night after discovering my stupid error but couldn’t find it to make necessary changes. The post didn’t show until after you replied — THANK YOU. I will change the title to SOLVED.
