ZWave-JS - GE/Jasco/Honeywell Double Taps

ptdalen · February 20, 2021, 3:50pm

This is great, and I’m looking to use this, but I cannot import it. I’m not sure if its because there are two blue prints in the post or not, but here is the error I get

while scanning a simple key in "<unicode string>", line 47, column 1: </code></pre> ^ could not find expected ':' in "<unicode string>", line 48, column 1: <h2>Auto-dimming Blueprint</h2> ^

How did you copy it? The error is showing some HTML markup. Clicking the “Copy to clipboard” button works OK for me.

ptdalen · February 20, 2021, 4:20pm

I tried to import using the import blueprint button in the HA UI under blueprints, then pasted in the URL for this post. That is where the error was thrown. I’ve added others using that process. Makes it kinda nice.

I was able to manually add the blueprint, by copying and pasting the yaml code above. Works great and thanks for saving me a good amount of time having to “fix” a lot of my older automations

freshcoast · February 20, 2021, 5:37pm

Ah, I didn’t even know you could do that. You’re probably right, maybe two blueprint code blocks in one post breaks the import. I added some URLs for importing, thanks.

Are there any configuration or scene activation changes that need to be made in zwavejs interface? I added the automation using the blueprint, but can’t get the double tap to work. I’m using model ZW3008 smart motion dimmer with firmware 5.32.

Do you know for sure that the switch supports double-taps? If it does, the device config file is not setup to support it.

My GE 14294: https://github.com/zwave-js/node-zwave-js/blob/53f9c91c4120fd1b4ceedaa90f67f80e89a5767d/packages/config/config/devices/0x0063/ge_14294_zw3005.json

Your ZW3008: https://github.com/zwave-js/node-zwave-js/blob/3d72a75aa51db0a0b580f1c3277c56d84303d93c/packages/config/config/devices/0x0063/26932_26933_zw3008.json

The device config file needs to configure two things:

Auto-assign assocation group 3 to the controller
Set the treatBasicSetAsEvent compatibility flag which produces events for basic set

The ZW3008 config file is missing both of those. You would need to submit a PR to add the functionality, or submit an issue to request it to be updated.

Thanks @freshcoast

I’m pretty sure these newer switches support double taps, but can’t find much useful specifics on how to create a json config file.

Someone in the Smartthings world has some info on a handler for a similar model:

I will try adding an issue as you suggested.

feature requested and being worked on…

decairn · April 8, 2021, 11:54pm

I have a GE 14291 switch that was working for double taps before 2021.4.0 and now it is not with me running 2021.4.0. I see the gist was updated to reflect what I think was the breaking changes in that release yet it’s not noticing the event. Any ideas on how to triage this? Do I need to delete/re-add the automation / blueprint in any way?

freshcoast · April 9, 2021, 12:04am

All I did was edit my blueprint files and replace the event name. Then I reloaded automations. That was sufficient for me to get the events working.

You can use the event listener to double check that the zwave_js_value_notification is being seen.

decairn · April 9, 2021, 12:09am

Confirming a reload of automations fixed it. A reboot didn’t do it on its own, nor did a delete and re-add of the blueprint.

ChuckieTodd · April 10, 2021, 6:27pm

The blueprint works well for me. I did notice some odd behavior if “local load” on the Z-Wave device was targeted at the controller. That caused the automation to fire on either double or single tap.

freshcoast · April 10, 2021, 7:29pm

Yeah, you can’t really use both, there’s no way to distinguish them.

gashpi · May 13, 2021, 7:06pm

Hi, this blueprint was working flawlessly until recently. Now I keep getting an error that says:

Error: UndefinedError: ‘dict object’ has no attribute ‘event’

I have no idea how to troubleshoot and was wondering if someone else is having the same issue.

franknitty69 · May 19, 2021, 3:46am

yep. confirmed. i have the same error. double taps was working fine maybe about a few weeks and no longer work.

error seems to be with: value: ‘{{ trigger.event.data.value }}’

rbray89 · December 19, 2021, 3:38pm

Just in case someone else has difficulty in getting this to work:

I restarted automations, and I added the dimmer to the group 3 association with the controller as the target in zwaveJS.

Not sure what made things work, but documenting here for others.

freshcoast · December 19, 2021, 3:57pm

What model do you have? Z-Wave JS does the controller association automatically, but that needs to be setup in the device config file.

rbray89 · December 19, 2021, 4:09pm

It reports as: 26932 / 26933 / ZW3008

Mattklev1 · December 22, 2021, 1:28am

fantastic!
Any chance you can add an OR condition to the selected device input.

For example - I have 3 light switch’s. If any one of the three switch’s are double tapped. Then I want to turn on all three of those switch’s.

ktownsend-personal · March 25, 2022, 5:12pm

@ChuckieTodd, I seem to have this problem of getting event for both single and double tap. I don’t see “local load” config on the device (this is definitely a GE/Jasco device, in-wall dimmer). I just switched over from legacy zwave and I was using double-click events in a ton of automations. Is there a trick to seeing the group 2 and group 3 settings on the device in Zwave JS?
