So I update the VZW31-SN driver to include the new option to disable the physical switch.
I am trying to use a rule to disable the switch at 8pm. The parameter number 156 as seen in this screenshot.
So I created a rule to perform custom action on this device to set 156 to 0 or disabled as per the email from Inovelli.
The combine rule triggers at 8pm and then rules the action.
The problem is that it isn't modifying the parameter and when I check the device, it still shows enabled and the switch still works. I took out the time condition and tried to "Run Actions"; it still does not work. I also tried to flip the parameter to 156, 1 just in case I had it backward but that didn't work either!
Please help! I am not sure what the heck this apparent newbie is doing wrong.
I've never tried something like this (changing a param via RM), but changing a parameter anywhere else always requires 3 inputs -- the parameter #, value, and size.
Interesting. I have tried to do another rule here that will run in a few minutes on a different parameter and want to see if it will work.
Inovelli support told me to do it this way so I am wondering if it will work on a different parameter instead of the one that I am trying to access.
So I ran the two at the same time, and on parameter changed, the other did not.
This one worked!
This one did not.
When I go into the device parameters, I can see that 98 now has a value of 0 while 156 is still set to click to set.
Really confused on this one.
@mike.maxwell wrote a handy utility for this very purpose a while back, called Super basic Z-Wave parameter tool, if you wanna take another stab at it while you're waiting for the Inovelli techs to get back to you.
In your rule did you set the parameter type to Number? I ask because string is default when setting new parameters and that drivers command expects a number for both inputs.

Yeah, I figured that one out early! lol. Great thought process though. I am looking for anything at this point!
