I am working on getting my porch light LED bar to turn red whenever I have the door unlock, and green whenever the door is locked. I am trying to just call the service after I created the script but nothing happens. Is this blueprint still supported and working? Many thanks!
Yes and yes.
You need to set an effect otherwise the default is to clear all effects.

Genius, I somehow missed that. I have it working now - cheers!
I’m going to apologize upfront because I’m sure that I’m missing something and my issue is user error.
I found and just installed the blueprint this evening after trying to figure out how to set LEDs 1-3 to blink when my alarm is armed. By the way THANK YOU for creating this!
However the script doesn’t seem to be working and I’m getting an error in my scripts.yalm file.
Is there something missing trailing “use_bluprint:”?
Also, In my configuration.yalm I have “script: !include scripts.yaml”.
I’m not sure why you are getting that error. The yaml looks ok to me, here is my scripts.yaml.
Does this script appear in Developer tools > Services?
Does the log show any errors when using the script?
Are there any errors in the Home Assistant log?
If not, you can check one other possibility.
Does the name of the switch in Home Assistant match the name in Z2M?
If not, you will need to override the command path when calling the script.
- Find the command path
- Settings > Devices > MQTT (click on “## Devices”) > DEVICE NAME
- Click on “More Info” and expand “Payload”
- Find
command_topicand copy the value
- Enter the
entity_idof the light entity and thecommand_topiccopied from the device and paste it into the “Command Path Map” field
Example:
light.west_light: "zigbee2mqtt/living_room/lights/west_light/set"
light.east_light: "zigbee2mqtt/living_room/lights/east_light/set"
No errors in the log (matching the device or script). I found some other things to look at but that’ll be for another time.
Getting the command_topic was exactly what I needed!
I bet that is because I changed the device type to be a fan instead of it being a light or a switch.
Thanks a ton!

Nice, glad it’s working!
This is FANTASTIC! Thank you all for the hard work. For some reason, the blueprint/script did not work right away for me. Double checked the requirements, etc. All options were selected, but when I changed the Effect from blink to solid a few times, the script started working.
I have been looking for something like this. Thanks much!

@zanixmechanix Just wanted to give you a heads up that this blueprint is broken after updating to Zigbee2MQTT version 1.36. This appears to be due to a change in the Inovelli device model name.
Previous model name:
Inovelli 2-in-1 switch + dimmer (VZM31-SN)
New model name:
2-in-1 switch + dimmer (VZM31-SN)

I just checked and it works. I am on Z2M 1.36.0 and Home Assistant 2024.2.5
The last updates to the blueprint were fixes for the model IDs that just use the model number.
2023.10.2
Update model filter to only model numbers
- This fixes the fan switch not working with the latest Zigbee herdsman converters
2023.10.3
Model ID fix
- Fix changing the model IDs in the last update that broke the script
You might have an older version, have you tried re-importing the blueprint?

good moring.
i seem to have an issue where only Aurora effect works. no other effect works the bar is just off. i have tried different colors.
also if i want to reset the ‘on’ bright blue ‘off’ dim blue do i just set that in another script with the 'LED Color When On (non-effect)" ‘LED Color When Off (non-effect)’?
I just checked all of the effects against my office switch and they are working.
What fields are you setting in the script?
As for LED Color When Off/On, this script does not control those parameters.
i am setting
Device.
Duration of effect.
Effect.
Effect Brightness.
Effect Color.
i do have on/off set in the config of the switch it just doesn’t revert after the script runs. it just turns the led bar off.
Can you turn the debug option on and copy what is output in the notifications?
Just wanted to say thank you for continuing to support this blueprint and making this change. Reimporting the blueprint, which I hadn’t done to date, corrected my issues without needing to do anything else.

sorry for the late response. how do i go about doing that? is that something in traces?
We should back up a bit and check if the LED effect works in Z2M.
If the effects work in Z2M, then we can check the script.
First, check the MQTT command path.
- Settings > Devices > MQTT (click on “## Devices”) > DEVICE
- Click on “MQTT Info” and expand “Payload”
- Find the Light device in the list (mine shows as “Family Room Light (
light.family_room)”) - Copy and paste the contents of “Payload” here
This is what mine looks like
availability:
- topic: zigbee2mqtt/bridge/state
value_template: '{{ value_json.state }}'
- topic: zigbee2mqtt/Family Room Light/availability
value_template: '{{ value_json.state }}'
availability_mode: all
brightness: true
brightness_scale: 254
command_topic: zigbee2mqtt/Family Room Light/set
device:
identifiers:
- zigbee2mqtt_0x385000000000002d
manufacturer: Inovelli
model: 2-in-1 switch + dimmer (VZM31-SN)
name: Family Room Light
sw_version: '2.15'
via_device: zigbee2mqtt_bridge_0x385000000000002d
...
Make sure the name in command_topic matches the friendly name of the device.
If not, then you will need to edit the Comand Path Map option.
Next, you can find the debug option when calling the script.
Once the script is run, it will create a notification. This will display what values are sent to the switch.
2024.4.0
Floor and Label Support
- Add support for Floors and Labels
- Use device identifier instead of device name for Z2M
- This should fix needing to use command path map for oddly named devices
- Command path map is still available if needed
- Add Command base path
- This is used when the base MQTT path for Z2M has been changed
- Command base path and command path map are available as blueprint inputs
- This allows setting a “default” value for these settings
