The indentation is fine
my bad, I just compared the posted code to code that I use and know to work.
Indentation in yaml is odd if you aren’t used to it. As long as objects are at the same level, the number of leading spaces doesn’t matter.
Hi! Love this feature. It does seem to work on my current configuration, however, I have some errors in the log that I am wondering about.
I have groups with both lights and switches which are controlling non-dimmable lights. These lights are also set up with helpers as “Switch as lights”, however I am using the original switch entities in the multicast. I regularly get this:
TemplateError('ValueError: Template error: int got invalid input 'None' when rendering template '{%- set entities = expand('group.garderobe_z_wave') %} {%- set lights = entities | selectattr('domain', 'eq', 'light') | selectattr('state', 'eq', 'on') %} {%- set levels = lights | map(attribute='attributes.brightness') | map('int') | list %} {{- levels | average if levels else 0 }}' but no default was specified') while processing template 'Template<template=({%- set entities = expand('group.garderobe_z_wave') %} {%- set lights = entities | selectattr('domain', 'eq', 'light') | selectattr('state', 'eq', 'on') %} {%- set levels = lights | map(attribute='attributes.brightness') | map('int') | list %} {{- levels | average if levels else 0 }}) renders=610>' for attribute '_brightness' in entity 'light.garderobe_z_wave'
My group.yaml for this group looks like this:
garderobe_z_wave:
entities:
- light.garderobe_taklys
- switch.garderobe_nattlys
- switch.garderobe_nattlys_2
My configuration.yaml has this:
garderobe_z_wave:
unique_id: garderobe_z_wave
friendly_name: Garderobe Z-Wave
value_template: >
{{ is_state('group.garderobe_z_wave', 'on') }}
level_template: >
{%- set entities = expand('group.garderobe_z_wave') %}
{%- set lights = entities | selectattr('domain', 'eq', 'light') | selectattr('state', 'eq', 'on') %}
{%- set levels = lights | map(attribute='attributes.brightness') | map('int') | list %}
{{- levels | average if levels else 0 }}
availability_template: >
{{- expand('group.garderobe_z_wave') | selectattr('state','in',['unavailable','unknown']) | list | length == 0 }}
turn_on:

turn_off:

And my scripts.yaml contains this, where I have added special command class endpoints for my switches with two relays:

Anything wrong? I am wondering whether or not this slows down my setup.
I had to change the light templates this weekend… Here’s an example
outside_sunset:
unique_id: outside_sunset
friendly_name: Outside Sunset
value_template: >
{{ is_state('group.outside_sunset', 'on') }}
level_template: >
{%- set entities = expand('group.outside_sunset') %}
{%- set lights = entities | selectattr('domain', 'eq', 'light') | selectattr('state', 'eq', 'on') %}
{%- set levels = lights | selectattr('attributes.brightness', 'defined') | map(attribute='attributes.brightness') | reject('none') | list %}
{{- levels | average if levels else 0 }}
availability_template: >
{{- expand('group.outside_sunset') | selectattr('state','in',['unavailable','unknown']) | list | length == 0 }}
turn_on:
- service: script.zwave_multicast_group
data:
group: group.outside_sunset
level: 255
turn_off:
- service: script.zwave_multicast_group
data:
group: group.outside_sunset
level: 0
set_level:
- service: script.zwave_multicast_group
data:
group: group.outside_sunset
level: >
{{- brightness }}
@petro thanks for your fast reply!
The error is gone but I am now getting these warnings thrown houndreds of times;
You somehow copy/pasted the value_template incorrectly. It seems you’re missing line 2 of that template.
Oh, so sorry for the embarrassing mistake. I was so focused on making sure the edited line was correct that I didn’t see that I replaced the wrong line…! Thank you so much for your quick reply and work on this

Thanks for posting this, it works great except for one issue: Our HA Z-Wave integration is connected to 2x Z-Wave networks (2x remote Z-Wave JS UI servers) due to the Z-Wave 800 Controller hang issues everyone is seeing. When we call the script with a light group that contains lights from both groups we get the error:
Failed to call service script.zwave_multicast_group. Multicast commands only work on devices in the same network.
Can you suggest a modification to the script so that it further groups the switches by Z-Wave network and calls zwave_js.multicast_set_value for each set?
