Not having luck with a rule to simply change a device parameter

[ekowalsky]

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.

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!
