Z-Wave JS and Aeon ZW062 Garage Opener Shows Up as Switch?

Configuration Z-Wave
1

My SmartThings hub bit the bullet and started switching everything over to HA. Having some trouble with my garage door opener. It is showing up as a switch and not a cover. It also has two disabled entities…sensor.garage_door_alarmlevel and sensor.garage_door_alarmtype. Any suggestions?

It’s not supported yet, I am having the same issue with a Zooz zen16 relay. We have to wait for support from the Z-Wave JS add-on.

By the mean time, I realized that if I shutdown the power and then put it back, my relay is sending a signal to the garage opener. So I ordered a z-wave plug and I will put it off and on, which will toggle the garage door (this is what I hope).

Support for garage door openers was added to the zwave_js integration in release 2021.3. I am using the ZW062 with it.

Oh really? Did you do something specific?

I am running 2021.3.4 and z-wave JS 0.1.14.

No, it’s supported without doing anything. Did you add node with secure inclusion?

I actually have it up and running now too without any issues. Came right up when I updated the z-wave JS integration.

@champdemars The ZEN16 won’t show up as a cover automatically because it doesn’t identify as such. It is a relay and not specifically a cover device. You need to template a cover device, which will give you a new cover entity that you can use as such. The below is from the ZEN17 but it should be similar.

It also likely won’t add as secure no matter what you do as most Zooz devices support S2 but not S0 and we don’t yet have S2 support.

As for your power piece, there is a parameter for what the relay should do on a power loss. You need to change it to All Off or the door will open on a power loss/restore.

In configuration.yaml:

cover:
    - platform: template
      covers:
          garage_door:
              device_class: garage
              friendly_name: 'Garage Door'
              value_template: "{{is_state('binary_sensor.garage_door', 'on')}}"
              open_cover:
                  service: switch.turn_on
                  entity_id: switch.garage_door
              close_cover:
                  service: switch.turn_on
                  entity_id: switch.garage_door
              stop_cover:
                  service: switch.turn_on
                  entity_id: switch.garage_door
