Hello guys,
I've been having a hard time for some reason trying to figure out how I can get my Inovelli dimmer red series switch to go from blue to red when HSM is armed.
I'm also trying to figure out how to use the switch to disarm HSM. I saw a video for inovelli showing that you can set up something like press the button 3 times to arm your home alarm, so I was hoping to be able to do the opposite for a quick way to disarm.
What driver are you using for this device? With either Hubitat's built-in driver or Inovelli's custom driver, you can use the setIndicator() command with a calculated value to create a solid red "notification" LED for an indefinite period of time (or a specified time, though that's not what it sounds like you want). If you're using Inovelli's driver, they have another way you can do this (creating "child devices" for preconfigured notifications, which are standard switch devices you can activate with lots of standard apps).
For the custom setIndicator() command, you'll need Rule Machine or a custom app. With Rule Machine, you could do something like:
Trigger event: HSM status becomes armed
Actions to run:
setIndicator(xxxxxxxxxx) on Inovelli Dimmer
Wait for condition: HSM status NOT armed
setIndicator(0) on Inovelli Dimmer
...where "xxxxxxxxxx" is your calculated value (33491456 seems like a good value based on the calculator, but you can play with hue or brightness and that would be different). Passsing 0 as the value will clear the notification and return to the default LED, which will is blue by default but can really be whatever you set the preference to.
Alternatively, if you want to change the "regular" LED and reserve the "notification" LED for possible use during this time, you could change the regular LED color instead. Hubitat's built-in driver does not have a way to do this, but Inovelli's driver does with another "child device" they can create to set the color on the LED, which you can manipulate similarly to a color bulb (you could use a rule like the above, or there are more options with simpler apps since you don't need custom commands).
Hello,
I'm using the Hubitat built-in driver. but based on what you wrote I may just forgo that option of setting the light to a different color when armed, I was hoping it would have been easier.
BTW. When I was going through my actions, I didn't see the "Set Indicator".
My primary need would be to do a triple tap on the favorite button or the up/down switch to disarm my alarm. Are you familiar with how I can make that happen?
I didn't spell thus part out, but you won't see it as a built-in action in Rule Machine. You need to use the "custom action" selection to run this non-standard command. As long as you don't mind that you're making it a "notification" and not the "regular" LED color, you could keep using Hubitat's built-in driver (you can make the notification indefinite,/9 it would persist until un-set or canceled at the switch with two taps of the config button), but you will get more options with a customer driver...and if you want triple taps to do arm, you'll need one since Hubitat's maxed out at double taps. I'd probably use Button Controller to configure that, though there are many options.
