Just tried and same result..... not working. Tomorrow I will try with a spare Inovelli Dimmer  switch

I wonder if it requires parameters to be set

I am pretty sure that I was able to do so by using CONTROL in the program instead of STATUS :

(Old Program)

IF

CONTROL Entrance Light is switched ON

THEN

SET Fan Light ON

ELSE

SET Fan Light OFF

<snippage>

 

I don't think that would have ever worked for the Off cycle. There is no detection of the paddle pressed on the downside.

Try this one:

IF

CONTROL Entrance Light is switched ON
AND
CONTROL Entrance Light is NOT switched OFF

THEN
SET Fan Light ON

ELSE
SET Fan Light OFF

Please let me know. I am curious how similar Zwave is to a real system. :):)

It used to work before I moved from 5.0.16 to 5.2. That is what puzzles me.

I tried but no........  :-(

I know that Chris is looking at this, so let's wait, though tomorrow I am trying with another switch.

Combined with the misfiring of program statuses, reported elsewhere,  I suspect UDI has tried some new technique in their triggering logic and some bugs are popping up. :(

Tried with the Inovelli switch and same result......  Since 5.2.  "Control"  versus "Status" no longer works as before.

Hey Guys,

If control is not working, try opening the Event Viewer to Level 3 and pressing the button.  Have a look at what message is generated, its usually a BASIC SET but may be something else link BINARY SWITCH SET, MULTILEVEL SWITCH SET, or others.

After that, right+click on the controller node, select Z-Wave | Z-Wave Options | Custom sensor/button press detection and then select the type of message you want to use to detect the button press.

This works one way, i.e. when I switch ON light 1 Custom Button (non-dimming) then the  light 2 (dimmer) goes ON as well, and when I switch light 1 OFF, then light goes OFF as well.

This is exactly how I want it, because when I set light ON in the Administrative Console, then light 2 does NOT go ON.

However the reverse does only work when I program light 2 with Status and main node. Neither the Basic node or the Custom Button give me the desired result. In fact when I enable that (reverse) program, program 1 no longer works.

This is event viewer log (level 3) for Event Viewer to Level 3 and pressing the button for light 2 (ZW154) :

This is  the event viewer (level 1) for program 2, with Custom Button of light 2 in IF :

Wed 09/02/2020 05:41:42 PM : [   ZW154_253]       ST  75 (uom=78 prec=0)

Wed 09/02/2020 05:41:45 PM : [   ZW154_253]      DON  75 (uom=78 prec=0)

Wed 09/02/2020 05:41:45 PM : [     ZW154_1]       ST  75 (uom=51 prec=0)

Wed 09/02/2020 05:41:50 PM : [   ZW154_143]       ST 108 (uom=73 prec=1)

The program 2 has  in THEN : Set light 1 ON, but this does not even show in the above event viewer.

Maybe this is something happening to dimmer switches, because I got the same result with a Homeseer switch.
