Zooz Zen32 set parameters with a program
Set the device to the (binary) switch, not the button. Probably address ZY009_1 in your case.

Minimum zone run time
I have read that the minimum zone run time of a Rachio controller is 1 minute. Will this plugin support a run time of just a few seconds?

Nearcast data updates
Two rain events this week and the nc node is showing my Tempest local data, not the nearcast data. Restarting the plugin does update to the nearcast values.

Zooz Z-Wave Zen32 button programming
Sorry for any confusion but my programs work fine. They are triggered by the button push, not a variable. I was responding to the original poster issue.

Zooz Z-Wave Zen32 button programming
Are your variables STATE variables? No, integer variables Have you verified that the varable changes from 0 to 1 to 0 when you toggle the button(s)? Yes Program examples: Cooktop ON - [ID 01CC][Parent 0037] If 'Kitchen Scene Button 1' is switched On And $Button1 is 0 Then Set 'Kitchen / Cooktop Light' On $Button1 = 1 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Cooktop OFF - [ID 01CC][Parent 0037][Not Enabled] If 'Xtra / Kitchen / Kitchen Scene Button 1' is switched On And $Button1 is 1 Then Set 'Kitchen / Cooktop Light' Off $Button1 = 0 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Zooz Z-Wave Zen32 button programming
Think of the four small buttons on this switch as program triggers, not on/off switches. Depending on how many devices you want to control, you can initiate an ON command on one button and an OFF command on a second button. In order to control more devices, I have assigned variables related to button presses (nodes called Central Scene Control Button). My programs increment or decrement the button variable with each push of the button. For example, this allows execution of an ON command if the variable is 0 and an OFF command if the variable is 1. Thus, on and off from the same button. Some of my programs involve the setting of configuration parameters to control button color, etc. Consistent execution of these has been challenging due, I believe, to eisy's ability to process the command sequences reliably.

Nearcast data updates
Following up to confirm successful operation of the nearcast data update. FWIW, I see that Weatherflow amends nearcast rainfall amounts after the fact. Thus, the rainfall reported in their app may be different from the amount captured by this node server. Thanks again.

Nearcast data updates
Thank you! Rain is forecast for this week so I will confirm and report back.

Nearcast data updates
What I am seeing is that today's value and yesterday's value do not change overnight. They remain stagnant until I restart the node server. The yesterday value did change to the previous today value after last week's rainfall when I restarted it manually.

Nearcast data updates
I notice that the data fields for the Nearcast node updated regularly during a recent extended rain event but do not reset daily. I have to restart the node server in order to update the values. Would this be a Weatherflow or node server issue?

ELK Keypad Back Lighting
Got it! Thanks and good luck.

ELK Keypad Back Lighting
Just to clarify, is the enhancement you are suggesting to allow control of F lights AND back lighting? Thanks.

ELK Keypad Back Lighting
There was discussion regarding keypad back lighting in March 2024. Jimbo.Automates created an issue at that time. Is the addition of lighting control still in the queue? I would like to be able to turn the keypad back light on and off based on conditions in order to keep my bedroom dark overnight but have the keypad on during the day.

ZOOZ ZEN32 Big "Switch Button"
I set configuration parameters 1-5 (on/off) and 6-10 (color) within associated programs to indicate status.

Looking for water sensor
I have both Homeseer LS100 and Zooz ZSE42 sensors. I exercise them every other month in conjunction with a EcoNet EVC200 valve actuator. I prefer the Zooz unit due to smaller size and use of a common battery. I have found battery status reporting to be unreliable for both devices but leak reporting has never failed.

ZWAVE motion sensor for outdoors
FWIW, The Zooz ZSE29 is being replaced/upgraded this month (June 2024) according to thesmartesthouse.com, although the Zooz website doesn't reference this.

Notifications not generating emails from programs
https://wiki.universal-devices.com/ISY994:Configure_Mail_Server_Settings Note the 2 step verification requirements as of May 2022.

Notifications not generating emails from programs
I submitted a ticket for the same behavior on my 994 and was told it is no longer supported. My longer emails did not run at all and shorter ones had no carriage returns. I switched from the default server to my Gmail account and all is well. Obviously the issue is on the server end not on my (your) end.

My take on making sure the garage door is closed at night
I send myself a text if the door is up over an hour without detecting motion during the day and over 15 minutes if after dark. It repeats if the door status does not change. I've never been comfortable with automating the close.

Email & text carriage returns missing
Unfortunately not resolved for me. Perhaps it is time to install the eisy I have still in the box! Thanks.
-
Email & text carriage returns missing
I use the default server and text config. It has worked for years until this past weekend.
-
Email & text carriage returns missing
All carriage returns have disappeared from my notification emails and texts. Makes for difficult reading. I also have one larger email notification that will not run at all unless I remove some of its content. As if a size limitation has now been implemented. Wondering if others have this experience and if there might be a way to insert carriage returns. I opened a ticket but was told 994 support has ended.

Controlling outside lights with Lux values
I use Tempest to control interior and exterior lighting using variables. I have a series of programs that set a variable ($Brightness) for a range of light level values ($Light_Level). The brightness variable changes only when the light level moves into a new range. I then use the brightness variable value to trigger lighting programs. For example: Brightness 03 - [ID 006C][Parent 0085] If $Light_Level >= 300 And $Light_Level < 500 Then $Brightness = 3 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
