[Firmware Request]: VZW31-SN - Trigger Basic Set when level set to full remotely #8

Open futurexdesign opened 8 months ago

futurexdesign commented 8 months ago

What product would you like to see a firmware enhancement for?

Red Series 2-1 Switch (VZW31-SN)

Summary

Trigger Basic Set when level set to full remotely

Description

Platform: ZWave-JS / Home Assistant

Use Case:

What happens:

The associated plug will toggle on/off from the switch itself, but will not toggle on/off when the switch is controlled remotely. This is due to the remote interaction happening as a Multi-Level-Switch value set, and not a Basic-Set. As such, the switch does not trigger a basic-set to the associated plug, even if the level is being set to full-on.

Proposal

I propose the ability to have the switch trigger a basic-set when the level is set to full or off remotely. This will allow the switch to remotely toggle devices that only support basic-set, such as in-wall receptacles, or outlet plugs.

So if you send a switch multilevel_set to the inovelli and you have group 2 associated with the other device, the switch won't send an on/off because it didn't receive a basic set? I think I am understanding.

If you send a basicset to the inovelli then it will forward that command, correct?

So is there a way in your automation system to send basicset instead of switchmultilevleset?

The switch does not appear to expose basic set, only multilevel.( I did reinterview after switching to on/off mode, but it still reports multi level). So there is no way I can see from zwave JS, to issue an explicit basic set.

The switch seems to generate the basic set to send to associated devices when you physically operate the switch, but not remotely.
