Hi,
New to Hubitat, Added a new Device which is a Roller shutter (exit to Balcony)
I have selected the "Generic Z-wave Plus Scene Dimmer" and it seems to work fine.
There was a button there labeled "Push" so i entered a value of 1 and sent it (did the same for "Release")
now i have these values set in the Current States of the zwave device:
Current States
level : 0
position : 80
pushed : 1
released : 1
switch : off
windowShade : partially open
I can't send an empty command on those Push/Release and i don't know what "push/release" does...
So if anyone knows what are those and how do i clear those values?
This is normal. Button attributes (pushed, held, etc.) just show the last value for that event, as with all attributes. For buttons, this is the button number, so basically the last button that was pushed, held, etc. When the button number is the same (or if the device only uses one button number), you won't see anything exciting happen on this page, but events are still being generated, and you can check "Events" on this device (top of the page) to confirm this by looking at the history, or by default you can check "Logs" and see "info" logs with the event description (unless you disable this in the driver).
Apps, in general, work by subscribing to these events. Apps you can use with button devices include Basic Rule and Button Controller. Any app, including these, should do what you've configured in response to the event. You can use the above to verify that they're really happening; if not, there's another problem to troubleshoot.
BTW, the "pushed" and similar commands you're using on the device page are mostly just usable for simulating button events, perhaps to test or virtually "trigger" some app. In most cases, these events would be generated from actual activity on the button device itself (unless you're dealing with a virtual device where one doesn't actually exist, of course).
I'm not familiar with your roller shutter device, but the driver you selected is normally used with in-wall Z-Wave dimmers that support multitaps (Z-Wave Central Scenes, which get translated to button events on the hub). You may want to see if your specific device, along with its recommended driver, is listed here: List of Compatible Devices | Hubitat Documentation. If not and your device doesn't use Z-Wave Central Scenes, there's still probably a different, more appropriate generic driver.
I have a set of vertical blinds that I use the Generic Zigbee Dimmer driver with, and it works very well. I set dim level and the blinds adjust accordingly. If you want a "cleaner" driver that doesn't have the spurious button push/release info you could try (as @bertabcd1234 suggests) a different driver.
You could try the Generic Z-Wave Dimmer driver or one of the Z-Wave Shade drivers, which will fit the capabilities of your device a little better. But...as they say, if it ain't broke also applies here - if the current driver you're using works you can just ignore the button info and keep using it.
