Z-Wave Plus 700/800 Series S2 ZEN 71/72/76/77 Switches

So happy to have found this blueprint to save some time.
One thing I’m seeing that’s missing, maybe, is LED control. I have two Zen71 800LR switches and Zooz and The Smartest House documents make it sound like we should be able to trigger the LED to change colors (4 options), but I only see this in the parameters, not as directly controllable in automation. Even read some review of someone praising the feature using Homeseer. Any ideas?

Yeah, you’d have to do some research, but if its anything like my inovelli you can do it through an automation. Now whether you want that automation to be part of a button press or to alert to something outside of a button press, like an open door or lock, thats up to you.

I think the above post is slightly wrong. I was able to modify a zen30 using this:

Thanks for linking that. I’ll have to dig into it when I have some time and if I find it worth the effort. My switches aren’t installed in high traffic areas, but the feature may be useful.

I’ve played around in the past and used for when the front door is unlocked or garage door open for more than X minutes and things like that.

I’ve looked thru all the documentation but I must be missing something for my ZEN71 switches. It looks to be I’m having some issues with the trigger. Let me know what I’m doing wrong here.

You are looking at the wrong automation or you didn’t set the device.

See attached filled out blue print. Devices work outside this blueprint automation

Have you configured those switches for scene control?

I tried to change the toggle switch in the settings and it goes to the off position when I exit and come back in. Doesn’t show a confirmed saved message like other options either. Switches are also set for smart bulbs. Local and z-wave control disabled.

You may need to go to the home assistant discord for assistance on that or contact soo. For this to work you need to have scene control enabled (you may want to set the other parameter to only local disabled to test). I’d also try reinterviewing the switch and then try turning on scene control again.

This is a bug on Home Assistant with all toggle parameters that has been fixed but not yet released:
Issue report: Boolean parameter toggle in zwave node config not functional · Issue #22441 · home-assistant/frontend · GitHub

Is there a link I can use to add this blueprint?

It’s the address of this thread

My mistake - I had ‘page2’ at the end of the URL.
Thank you for the reply.

I’m having a goofy issue with my Zen 76 that when I triple press down it goes into pairing mode rather than running the action assigned in the blueprint. Is there a setting somewhere I missed to prevent this?

Yes, I recommend finding the configuration docs from Zooz on The Smartest Home site. There are a couple changes you may need to make. I ran into the same issue myself a while back.

I no longer use this particular blueprint but it will happen with any blueprint with these switches.

You can turn it off basically, but youll need to change that parameter gain if you ever need to exclude or factory reset it.

On mine, I think I left it alone, and 3x pushes will turn on exclusion mode, but, at least for me, doesn’t matter unless zwavejs is in exclusion mode too.

Interesting. I’m not seeing that exposed in ZWaveJS or Home Assistant, I’m not really sure how to change it.

EDIT: I noticed on some of mine it didnt spell out the parameter, but finding the parameter in the configuration in zwavejs is clearer. Setting to 1 will disable local programming according to zooz docs.
