T6 Pro Automation with Smart Outlet

Hello, I just got my zwave T6 Pro installed and I also installed a whole house diffuser into the HVAC ductwork. I am trying to find a way to tell the smart outlet that the diffuser is plugged into to turn on when the HVAC is heating/cooling and turn off when it goes back to IDLE state. I have checked almost ever trigger option and I am at a loss. The only option I can find is mode and that is just what the thermostat is set to (Heat, cool, off)

I also have a T6 Pro. In order to having it trigger based on Heating or Cooling you need to use the Value Change on a Z-Wave JS Value trigger. This trigger option is only available when you select a Z-Wave device as your trigger. CLICK ADD TRIGGER > DEVICE > SELECT YOUR Z-WAVE DEVICE > SELECT VALUE CHANGE ON A Z-WAVE JS VALUE

Once you select this option you will see a bunch of fields for you to enter information into. You can easily find the information you need to enter into these fields by looking in the Z-Wave JS UI Control Panel.

Above each device value you will see a tittle bar that looks like this.

Here is what all these numbers mean.
[7-66-0-state] Operating state
7 is the node id of the device in my network
66 is command class id for Thermostat Operating State Command Class
State is the property
And the 1 or Heating is the what you would enter in the to field.
For Idle you would enter 0 or Idle in the to field and for Cooling you would enter 2 or Cooling.

Here is what your trigger should look like.

platform: device
device_id: 8b4476ff9ea7ac733d8bc749a2af0ad2
domain: zwave_js
type: zwave_js.value_updated.value
command_class: 66
property: state
to: Heating
id: Heating

Thank you soo much. This was exactly what I was missing. I thought about the js value but had no idea what all the property and other lines meant. This soo far has worked flawless the last 12 hours :slight_smile: For the turn off part, I just put Heating in the “From” box instead and it turns off just as good.
