Todo:

Physical vs Digital events
Txt descriptions
Indicator capability (it is in the preferences but this would be nice)

Probably need cleanup on verbiage of preferences.. Some of this was a bit confusing.

Thank you for this :slight_smile:
I loaded it and set my Zen27 to use it ( I have another on order hoping to setup an association).

Comment:
I'm not ready to setup associations yet. I made some changes to the dimming parameter and when I went to save preferences the Associations box (still empty) complained.

Another question:

When looking how Inovelli does associations they used

  • Group 2 for ON/OFF
  • Group 4 for Dimmer function
    I had assumed these were standard Z-Wave group definitions. As your beta currently only has Group 2 am I off base or will Group 4 need to be added for dimming association.

Thanks again

John

Pushed an update to fix the error ..

Inovelli and zooz handle association groups differently .. With the above code I am able to control and inovelli bulb on association group 2 of the dimmer

#5

Hi,

I've installed the update and can control ** my Inovelli (color) bulb as well. However the dim steps on the Inovelli are very large perhaps 4 -6 steps from dim to full. Are you seeing this as well?

** only in white

@bcopeland:
Is this the right fingerprints for that device:

(Or, have I got a Zen26 there, not a Zen27)?

@jtmpush18 Looks like you have the right device.. but a really old firmware version.. you are missing 0x5B (central scene) which wasn't in there during the initial certification..

#9

Hit up zooz support and get that firmware updated.. We have an easy method to do firmware updates now .. :wink:

Question on the Double Tap Function. What is the difference between full brightness and maximum level?
@bcopeland. Thanks for this driver.

Not sure yet.. I ran through all the config options listed on the zooz documentation website.. There is probably a good bit a verbiage cleanup needed.. I just got the dimmer yesterday evening..

#13

Thank you for that.
I obtained mine a couple of weeks ago and got their assistance in installing them in two 4-way circuits (after getting two Zen23's for that purpose.) The installations and discovery went flawlessly. I see that this driver exposes 12 additional parameters (the default exposed 9), that I can now explore. Again thanks for your work.

NB I repurposed the ZEN23's and am leveraging the ability to disable manual control so that I can use them in circuits with smart bulbs. All is going well.

Anytime.. I released it as beta as it was fully functional at this point.. But needs cleanup.. I was a bit confused on some of the config options.. As I learn more about it, I’ll be able to cleanup the wording..

#15

Great I will be looking forward to that. While I am not a capable programmer at this time, I will provide any help to test and troubleshoot as needed.

Full brightness means the light is at 100% brightness level while maximum brightness is the value you have set as maximum for the dimmer since you can adjust both minimum and maximum brightness for the dimmer so that it doesn't go above 80% brightness for example and doesn't go below 30% brightness. I hope that helps!
