Multiple entity/node IDs

[sstarcher]

I'm using Home Assistant and ZwaveJS2QMTT. Whenever I put multiple values in for node/entity ID I get the following.

Example Node ID "27,1" Entity ID "light.bedroom_fan_lights,light.other"

The output becomes json that looks like

{
  "payload": ...
  entity_id: "light.bedroom_fan_lights, light.other"
}

I was expecting it to map the Node ID to the Entity ID in the comma-separated list. Am I misunderstanding how this is supposed to work?

[ryanjohnsontv]

ZWaveJS only accepts the entity id when making service calls, so any values set in the node ID field are ignored. The Node ID field is only applicable for the deprecated “zwave” integration and Open Z-Wave.

[sstarcher]

Thanks, so with that understanding if I wanted to control multiple switches with this integration would the best way be as follows.

Event -> Inovelli Scene Manager (per light) -> dynamic call function using {{ entity_id}}

I was trying to do this without multiple Inovelli Scene Managers and it also looks like your LED manager does not support a dynamic entity_id so I would need to instead use a service call function?

[ryanjohnsontv]

Ah I apologize, I misunderstood! For the scene manager it reads the node ID from the event message, and uses that to filter message to the proper output. So in your case you could fill the node ID field with your switch node IDs, and that will pass along messages for those nodes. Then you can use a function node connected to each output to route each node ID to a service call (ie. Node 3 turns on light.living_room & Node 4 turns light.bedroom for the single click up button).

The entity_id field for the scene manager node just appends it to the event message so you don’t have to clarify the same entity ID on each corresponding function/service node. For instance if you have one scene manager node for each switch and want each button click to behave the same way you can send the outputs of each scene manager node to the same {domain: “light”, service: “turn_on”, entity_id: {{msg.entity_id}}} message.

[sstarcher]

Got ya, so that sounds about identical to what I'm doing just with the switch at a different location.

If I'm following you are recommending

Event -> Scene Manager(With NodeID Passthrough) -> function|switch -> call service vs Event -> Switch -> Scene Manager(Multiple) -> call service

Thanks that answers my question.

[sstarcher]

It would be a fairly large usability upgrade to have an option for the scene manager to take a comma-separated list of nodeIDs and entityIDs. It would allow the user to either ditch a function or a switch/set combo.

Here are a few examples you can import that might help:

Your second option certainly is more like what I'm doing. I'm essentially doing the same thing you are, but with minimal work in the functions.

[sstarcher]

The switch contains the ID mapping and the set after that is setting the entity id.

[sstarcher]

Your second example in your link would be great to add to your existing list of examples in github.

[ryanjohnsontv]

Would you benefit from having some sort of node ID/entity ID grouping table like this in the scene manager?

I personally like having a dedicated JSON object with my Z-Wave info so I can update everything in one place for all my function nodes, but of course not everyone would want to do it this way and the table pairing might be more beneficial.

[sstarcher]

I can see having them all in one place can provide benefit, but in all of my automation, I have never needed to map nodeIDs to entityIDs until using the scene manager. For someone like myself, it would be beneficial if scene manager had that function since it gets nodeIDs from the events.
