Does anyone know if the nightlight function on the Zen72 800 series in wall dimmer can be controlled from HE?
The SmartestHome website states

  • Adjustable LED indicator: choose the color and brightness that works for you!

and also states

  • Night Light Mode: press and hold the lower paddle when dimmer is off to turn the light on to low brightness

Do these statements refer to the same light?
Can you program this light to give notifications, independent of what someone does at the switch? So for example if x door is unlocked when house goes into night mode, make this switch glow red at its brightest setting?
If the nightlight mode can be set from HE, can someone override it from the switch?

They are different things. The LED is the little LED on the switch. You have 4 colors and 3 brightness levels.

The nightlight mode just turns the load on at it's lowest configured level.

@calinatl if you are looking for ways to change the LED indicator's color programmatically, it's easy to do if you install @jtp10181 's drivers ([DRIVER] Zooz ZEN Switches Advanced (and Dimmers)) and use them instead of the ones bundled with the system.
Then you'll be able to call setLEDMode('On') to make the LED always on regardless of the state of the switch, and setLED('Red') to change the color to red.

No, the LED is an indicator light part of the switch. Night Light mode is talking about the light you will inevitably attach to the dimmer.

Yes, using a driver with the commands needed to make the change. You would need to code it using the Rule Manager app.

You can set the night light mode level % via the custom driver. You activate it by holding the lower paddle as indicated. You could get the same result from a rule on HE to turn on at any desired brightness. You can then adjust the level from the paddle up or down in either case.
