My guess is yes. As long as you have HA running it should work. Let me know if you get stuck after you get HA running in a VM.

Started testing this... I've been using smtp.gmail.com, not the 'Default'. Some of my tests (by clicking the 'Test' button got through just now, but one (third try of four) generated this in my email: Address not found Your message wasn't delivered to 508*******@txt.att.net because the address couldn't be found, or is unable to receive mail.

With a lot of help from @Dub aka WHaasI finally got my ZEN77's firmware updated. I dumped the Simplicity Studio software - what a nightmare to use. I followed Zooz's step by step instructions three times - no joy at all. Then I pulled the dongle out from my Polisy and stuck it into my RPi. HA makes it super easy to update the firmware. Simply add Z-Wave as an Add-On, then add Z-Wave as an Integration, go to your Z-Wave devices panel (HA sees them instantly) and update their firmware from there. Then I put the dongle back into my Polisy and restarted it. From ISY I can now program the new parameters 28 and 29, ramp up and ramp down. And the new rates work regardless of how I turn the lights on or off. Easy Peasy ?

My ATT texts stopped as well about 2 weeks ago. I haven't tried to troubleshoot yet - may have some time later today.

I giving up on the firmware update for now (a bit frustrated). The software 'sees' the dongle and three switches, but will not update the switches. It gets stuck on the first bite. I even tried to exclude one of the switches first to see if that was it - didn't help. I also plugged the dongle into my RPi to see if I could use HA's Z-Wave integration to do the update (seems like it would be easier to do it there, by the way), but my HA setup did not see the dongle. If anyone know how to get it going there, please let me know. The good news is I didn't brick anything, and simply plugging the dongle back into my Polisy brought the switches back to the way I had them after rebooting.

I installed the Gecko one and the two Z-Wave ones. About 1 minute ago I finally received an email from Zooz allowing me to download the file. I should be able to attempt the upgrade soon...

You are correct about the fiddly legwork bit. ? I'm waiting for the file from Zooz - have to email them for it. As for installing that software - wow - talk about having to jump through hoops. I have the time to do this today, so I'll report back here either way when I have some results.

? I may have found something for my ZEN77s! See the ZEN77 firmware update notes here for release 10.20. It was released in July 2022 as an OTA release. https://thesmartesthouse.happyfox.com/kb/article/850-zen77-700-series-s2-dimmer-change-log/ The notes include the following: "Separated ramp rate settings into 4 new parameters: ramp rate ON physical (9), ramp rate OFF physical (27), ramp rate ON Z-Wave (28), ramp rate OFF Z-Wave (29)." Instructions on how to do an OTA update are linked at the bottom of that page. I'm gonna give that a go sometime today.

For ZEN30s it was parameter 22 but they removed the ability in firmware 1.05! WTF?

For ZEN72s it's parameters 28 (on) and 29 (off). These parameters are for when you turn the switches on or off with a Z-Wave command (not physically at the switch).

@oskrypuch I just found this: https://www.support.getzooz.com/kb/article/319-zen22-dimmer-switch-ver-4-01-advanced-settings/ These parameters are for when you turn the switches on or off with a Z-Wave command (not physically at the switch). It's for ZEN22s, parameter 17. (I don't know which model you have.) I tried using parameter 17 on a ZEN77 but it won't 'take' it.

+1

OK - Here's what I've discovered about these Z-Wave dimmers: Except for ramp rate, if I set a parameter using ISY (IoP in my case), it doesn't matter how I turn the light on or off - the parameters I set work fine. My choices for turning on my lights: Alexa, my PC using IoP, UD Mobil, Home Assistant or at the switch itself. With ramp rate my parameter setting only works at the switch (manual turning on or off) with one exception. And that's what it says at the website I linked earlier, by the way. "Values correspond to the number of seconds it take for the dimmer to reach full brightness or turn off when operated manually." The only exception for me is in UD Mobile. If I click 'Fade Up' or 'Fade Down' (not simply 'On' or 'Off') the lights seem to be using my ramp rate setting. I'm okay with the way my switches are operating for now, so I'm going to leave these alone. I would like to know how to get the switch to remember my ramp rate setting, however, should I want that to happen regardless of how I turn them on or off.

Yep - I did something similar to test the query function. Seems I got the light to come on and off instantly with 9,0 - but 9, 'anything else' does not cause it to ramp up or down at all now - even if the query returns the last value I set it for. I'll try to set it on a program later today and report back here.

Thanks for this. The program I posted in my OP is not related to my ramp rate issue. I posted it to show how I change the LED colors on the fly and to show I know how to change parameters. Until your post I was changing parameters on the main screen (or by a program) rather than right clicking on the device. I had not looked at the 'right click' menu on the device itself on the 'Main' tab. Thanks for pointing that out to me. I tried it - the query works for parameters, but when I change 9 to 20 to test, the lamp still comes on at the default speed (no change).

New to Z-Wave this week. So far so good. Installed a ZS10 700 on my Polisy and three ZEN77s so far. I've been able to change the action and color of the LEDs on the 77s, but I don't have any success changing the ramp rate. According to this... https://www.support.getzooz.com/kb/article/550-zen77-s2-dimmer-700-advanced-settings/ ... the ramp rate should be parameter 9. I've been trying 9, 20 to test but the light still comes on at the default rate. >>>> By the way - we wanted the LEDs to be on all of the time (a little bit of help to see the switches a night), so I set the parameter for those to 2, 3. And because they are outside lights I wanted a visual on whether they are on or off from the switches in the foyer, so I set a program as follows to change the LED color from blue (off) to green (on). Works and looks great! Driveway Lights LED Color - [ID 0036][Parent 0001] If 'Driveway Lights' Status is not Off Then Set 'Driveway Lights' Set Configuration Parameter 23 = 2 Else Set 'Driveway Lights' Set Configuration Parameter 23 = 1

@lilyoyo Just installed my first Z-Wave stuff - ZST10 700 and some ZEN77 switches. All is good so far. I figured out how to set parameters in IoP for those switches by referring to the information here: https://www.support.getzooz.com/kb/article/550-zen77-s2-dimmer-700-advanced-settings/ I wanted to change the way the LEDs were working as well as their colors. Thank you for this thread!

Ctrl F5 does the trick for me when using Chrome on Windows 11.

What @lilyoyo says about starting small is how I began some years ago. For me it was better than trying to learn everything all at once before trying to just automate the light in the hallway. Instead, I would search on how to automate just one thing and get it to work. So, pick the first thing you want to do, search for examples, and if you get stuck on that one thing come here for help. You'll get plenty of it. To search the forums here, I use the search box of course, and sometimes I do it this way: site:https://forum.universal-devices.com type what you are looking for here Let's say I want to learn how to turn on a light on at sunset: site:https://forum.universal-devices.com turn on at sunset Good luck!

Ha! Who hasn't! I used some of the liquid stuff on a fish pond that cracked, and it worked!

Your guests: 'What's this button for?'

I'm using the HSV values in my AC. Using my finger in the Kasa App's color wheel makes it impossible to make our two strips exactly the same. The PG3 Node server makes it easy peasy. I have 2 KL420L5's.

Shot in the dark here... Be sure the Alexa Skill you chose is "ISY Optimized for Smart Home V3". I think there is another one that will not work as well.

Okay...
