I'm just getting started with Hubitat and am practicing with a couple of simple zwave devices including a new first alert 2in1 detector. I added the detector as a generic detector device using the built in driver and then added it to my dashboard as a smoke detector and as a CO detector. Question is whether i can get at any other device attributes on the dashboard such as battery level, health checks, CO level, etc.?
Thanks in advance
Choose the device, then select Attribute. A blank field opens and you have to correctly enter the attribute.
Look at your device details page first and the list under Current States has values you can use.
Thank you for the quick reply.
From the Hubitat homescreen, I select devices. This gives me a list of devices I have added. When I select the FirstAlert I do not see anything that says "attribute." Am I in the wrong area?
on each device page, on the right, next to the row of buttons is a column labeled Current States.
Some devices have tiny lists:
Some have more, as I pasted above.
They are organized as two word, pairs. The left is the attribute name, the right is the value. Copy/paste the attribute name you're interested in into a Dashboard tile and the right word (value) will be displayed.
If you have NOTHING in your Current States column, then your device probably hasn't initialized. Be sure to click the config button.
The Hubitat included Virtual Thermostat driver displays these Current States:
Okay, I think I'm catching on. I see "Battery" "Smoke" and "CarbonMonoxide" as attributes. Presumably the generic built in driver only includes those. I wonder whether there is a more specific driver that can get at more info? Are Z-wave drivers hubitat specific or are they platform independent?
Thanks again for the support.
I don't own a ZWave Thermostat, mine's a WiFi so I have a completely different driver. However, when I create a device and assign it the Generic ZWave Thermostat driver, I get no Current States:
For me, with no device, I'd expect that. 
The next step would be to click the Configure button. That button causes your Hub to send the ZWave commands THIS driver thinks it needs. When the Thermostat answers, you would get the results in Current States. There may be more info that won't show in Current States til the device does something and tells the Hub.
