johnnyt Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 Does latest 5-series ISY ZW running 5.0.15A support the Aeotec ZWA002 LED Multicolour Smart Bulb? It's not mentioned specifically at my usual shopping site as one of the controllers that supports it but then again I unfortunately rarely come across ISY mentioned as a supported controller even when it does support something quiite well https://www.aartech.ca/aeotec-zwa002-led-bulb
johnnyt Posted July 17, 2019 Author Posted July 17, 2019 Found this https://aeotec.com/z-wave-gateways/, which lists this bulb as supported by ISY as well as with many other devices.
johnnyt Posted July 23, 2019 Author Posted July 23, 2019 I just unpacked my bulb today and can't figure out how to do anything but turn it ON (to default warm white) and OFF with ISY. For example, what is this screen supposed to allow me to do? It doesn't do anything right now. Also, while I was able to change the ramp rate parameter 0x10 (16 decimal) from default 10 secs (0x14) to 0.2 secs (see below), the light still ramps up/down at default 10 secs. What am I missing? For reference, here's link to engineering specs for this bulb https://aeotec.freshdesk.com/helpdesk/attachments/6072848203 Any info would be appreciated.
TexMike Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 I have 3 of these on the front of my house, 2 coach lights and one porch light. I have not done much with them through the admin console, but I can tell you they work fine in programs. I have them on zero blue this time of year to attract less bugs. Use warm white in less buggy seasons and also set to holiday colors, orange for Halloween, cycle red and green around Christmas and I don't have to hang/remove Christmas lights! FYI, if you set warm or cold white to > 0 it overrides any color selection and it takes about 15 secs to set a color, so you can't really flash colors, but you can cycle through color changes. 1
lilyoyo1 Posted July 24, 2019 Posted July 24, 2019 Personally, I would rather use hue or lifx. Much easier to set up and configure as well as being more capable.

Sure, nothing fancy this time of year, my normal evening lighting schedule runs then for on and else for off. Front lights on yellow - [ID 006E][Parent 0066][Not Enabled] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'Front Porch Color' Warm White 0, Cold White 0, Red 255, Green 255, Blue 0, Set 'Front Coach Right Color' Warm White 0, Cold White 0, Red 255, Green 255, Blue 15, Set 'Front Coach Left Color' Warm White 0, Cold White 0, Red 255, Green 255, Blue 15, Set 'Front Porch Dimmer' Fast On Set 'Front Coach Right Dimmer' Fast On Set 'Front Coach Left Dimmer' Fast On Else Set 'Front Coach Left Dimmer' Fast Off Set 'Front Coach Right Dimmer' Fast Off Set 'Front Porch Dimmer' Fast Off If motion is detected I set the porch to bright white for a few minutes, then revert back to previous color. Setting bright or warm white overrides color, then setting it back to 0 reverts to whatever color it was previously. Driveway motion dark on - [ID 0048][Parent 0066] If $Dark is 1 And 'Front Porch Dimmer' Status is not 0% And ( 'Driveway Motion' Status is On Or 'Ring NodeServer / Front Door motion' is switched Motion ) Then Set 'Front Porch Color' Cold White 255, Run Program 'Enable Driveway motion' (Then Path) Disable Program 'Driveway motion dark on' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') During Christmas I used this. Since lights are being turned on from normal evening light programs, all this does is change colors. Front lights Christmas - [ID 006A][Parent 0066][Not Enabled] If From 1:00:00PM on 2018/11/24 To 1:00:00PM on 2018/12/30 And 'Front Coach Left Dimmer' Status is 100% Then Repeat 200 times Set 'Front Coach Left Color' Warm White 0, Cold White 0, Red 255, Green 0, Blue 0, Set 'Front Coach Right Color' Warm White 0, Cold White 0, Red 255, Green 0, Blue 0, Set 'Front Porch Color' Warm White 0, Red 0, Green 255, Blue 0, Wait 1 minute Set 'Front Coach Left Color' Warm White 0, Cold White 0, Red 0, Green 255, Blue 0, Set 'Front Coach Right Color' Warm White 0, Cold White 0, Red 0, Green 255, Blue 0, Set 'Front Porch Color' Warm White 0, Red 255, Green 0, Blue 0, Wait 1 minute Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') 2
