Set Level - Duration of 0

So This change to webcore has been reverted, as it caused a lot of issues for other folks.

I suggest you have your driver default to what you want, as this change is too disruptive to others.

That's unfortunate, thank you for the effort, though.

This really should be the proper way to code a driver IMO. The default on these devices can be configured with parameters, but someone might want a fade in/out when pressing the switch physically and by default when commanding from voice control, but for a specific rule they may want an instant change and want to set duration of 0.

Have to agree. All these devices have a default duration, and there's an option to send a custom duration for a given command. 0 isn't null and should be a valid, optional duration. Oh well.

@mark.amber

Why are you using setLevel for that? Why not just use on-off-on?

Because on/off uses a 3-second duration, the default value for my switches. That duration isn't compatible with turning on the Halo feature of the lights - it just cycles the main light on and off slowly.

All my lighting scenes use a fade, I don't like the instant on-off like a manual switch. So I set one default in my driver (3 seconds) and set variations from that in all my automations. It looks like I'll have to redo my automations to input a duration for every on/off/fade command now.

Thanks for the info. In that case @michicago if I can get a copy of the driver code, adding a special command to set the level with a 0 duration would be easy to add if you are not sure how to do it yourself. Let me know!

That would be great, thanks! I'm using this driver as a base, but made the following mods. From what I can gather from the log files, I think the driver does pass the duration of 0 as a parameter, but when it hits webcore the 0 duration is dropped. Webcore only passes the duration value if it's 1-255 (again, I think)...

Driver:

[RELEASE] GE 4xxxx / ZW3010 Enbrighten Z-Wave Plus Dimmer Driver

GE Enbrighten Z-Wave Plus Dimmer Driver The new GE Enbrighten devices are just different enough from the old that I wanted to make a new driver that supported the features correctly. NOTE: This is for the toggle/paddle GE Enbrighten Z-Wave Plus Dimmers only (ZW3010 / 46203 / 46564). It will not work with any non Z-Wave Plus GE models (12xxx), it will not work correctly with any other Z-Wave Plus GE models (14xxx). Features: ON/OFF/Level Can set default ON %, both by a parameter setting and …

Original section:
def on() {
if (logEnable) log.debug "Turn device ON"
if (logEnable) log.debug "state.level is $state.level"
if (state.level == 0 || state.level == "" || state.level == null) {state.level=99}
setLevel(state.level, 0)

}

def off() {
if (logEnable) log.debug "Turn device OFF"
setLevel(0, 0)
}

def setLevel(value) {
if (logEnable) log.debug "setLevel($value)"
setLevel(value, 0)
}

def setLevel(value, duration) {
if (logEnable) log.debug "setLevel($value, $duration)"
def result =
state.bin = -1
value = Math.max(Math.min(value.toInteger(), 99), 0)

if (value) {state.level = value}

if (logEnable) log.debug "setLevel(value, duration) >> value: $value, duration: $duration"

return delayBetween([
        secure(zwave.switchMultilevelV3.switchMultilevelSet(value: value, dimmingDuration: duration))
    ] , 250)

}
