Z-Wave Fibaro Button (FGPB-101)

Configuration Z-Wave
18

So I got the button to work semi stable, without double tabs being recognized yet.

First change your zwcfg config as stated here:
https://home-assistant.io/docs/z-wave/device-specific/

Note: Make sure that home assistant is switched off. Turning off the zwave network is not enough as some articles suggest. If you forget this home assistant will overwrite your changes. I also realized that my changes were overwritten at a later stage.

Then you got to write an automation to pick up changes:

- action:
  - data:
      entity_id: input_boolean.button1_button
    service: input_boolean.turn_on
  alias: Trigger Button
  condition: []
  id: '1515230231092'
  trigger:
  - event_data: {}
    event_type: zwave.scene_activated
    platform: event
- action:
  - data:
      entity_id: input_boolean.button2_button
    service: input_boolean.turn_on
  alias: Trigger Button 1 time
  condition: []
  id: '1515231355136'
  trigger:
  - event_data:
      entity_id: zwave.redbutton
      scene_id: 1
      scene_data: 0
    event_type: zwave.scene_activated
    platform: event

Note:

  • I would use the new automation manager to create the automations. This checks for errors. Also IDs are now needed
  • I use the first automation for debugging, that is to check if I pick up any scene changed event. I have it quite often that I press the button, the button reacts but does not send a scence changed.
  • Note the above article suggests values for the scene_data, however my values are different (also an article below has my values). You can find your values in the open zwave log:

2018-01-06 13:08:06.553 Info, Node005, Received Central Scene set from node 5: scene id=1 in 7800 seconds. Sending event notification.
2018-01-06 13:08:06.554 Detail, Node005, Refreshed Value: old value=7740, new value=7800, type=int

Current issues:

At the moment I am still debugging the set up. The button does not always send scene changes for whatever reason. I have no idea why. It wakes up, reports the battery state, but the central scene line is missing from the logs.

I am also not able yet to get the double triggers to work. The log mentions “new value=7800” which I put into the scene data, yet it does not trigger. So far only the most general automation (ignoring the scene_data) and the long push trigger.
