Z-Wave Scene Activate

Hi together,

I’m new to HA. I try to figure out if HA you be a could a good system to replace my old system (VERA).
I try to build the logic and automation scripts in HA as well.

I installed the add-in “Z-Wave JS UI”.
I want to create an automation which is triggered by the command class “scene activation”.
But I cannot find it in the editor. As trigger I select “Value change on a Z-Wave JS Value”. But the command class “Scene Activation” is not contained in the list “command_class”.
What did I wrong. How to trigger something by a scene id send from the device?

If you want to use a device trigger, from the device page click the + sign next to Automations and choose the Scene Activation option. If this option is not available, then it means the device is not reporting it supports Scene Activation.

Or, if you prefer event triggers, use the notification event: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zwave_js/#scene-events-value-notification

Scene Activation produces events, and does not use values, so you can’t use that trigger type.

Dear freshcoast,

thanks a lot for your answer.
The device supports scene activation:

But unlike in your picture this options does not show up at my end:

It says “v0” though, which is invalid. You can try re-interviewing the device. If it persists, you’ll need to file an issue with node-zwave-js. Be sure to capture driver debug logs of the interview.

Hello,

I did some deeper investigations. The issue is about the roller shutter FGR-222 from Fibaro. A very common device.
It can be enabled to send Scene Activation IDs for certain actions (like double or triple clicks) by setting a parameter (50). The scene IDs will be send by command class 43 (0x2B). But the support of this command class is not reported during the interview (maybe because sending the scene IDs have to be enabled first).
I read here that it is possible to add command classes manually:

But where are these configuation files mentioned above located on the filesystem (SD card) of HA? I’m using HA OS on an Raspberry.

Usually for settings like that, you are required to change the setting then re-include the device. Have you tried that?

For config files:

Sorry for being so silly:

Where is ‘< app-root-folder>’ ?
I already figured out that the location of the HA configuration is ‘/< root>/config’

But where is this “store” folder?

You are using a 3rd party application, Z-Wave JS UI, which is not part of HA. So the files are not included in HA’s configuration.

Be sure to give the ZUI docs a full read if you plan to edit config files.
