Zooz Zen32 set parameters with a program

[joshd23]

Hello All,

I have a Zen32 800LR.  I'm using a program to interact with the device, however, I'm unable to set a parameter through a program.  

For the Action in the Then statement my only option in the drop down for a Scene Button is 'Query'.  Can someone explain how to set a parameter?  I'm not sure what I'm missing.  

As an example, my Then would set parameter 7 to a value of 2 to set the LED to green on one of the buttons.  

LED Color For Button 1

Parameter 7: Choose the color of the LED indicator for Button 1.
Values: 0 – white; 1 – blue; 2 – green; 3 – red; 4 – magenta (RB); 5 – yellow (RG); 6 – cyan (GB). Default: 0.
Size: 1 byte dec

Set the device to the (binary) switch, not the button.  Probably address ZY009_1 in your case.

I use the Zen32 as fan controllers in my secondary bedrooms.  The smaller buttons control the speed via an Insteon Fanlinc.  Here is what I do to change the parameters of the small buttons when one is pressed.  When one is pressed, it lights up and turns off the led on the others.  I have a separate program for low, med, high and off.

Scene Button 1 is parameter 2, the rest are the other small buttons.

Yeah, that was it.  Thanks for pointing out the obvious, that I missed...

Nothing is obvious where Z-wave is concerned when implementing with Eisy 😉 but I have figured out quite a lot though trial and error.

I still have not figured out how to get Z-wave to control a scene though (my Holy Grail).  It will respond but not control based on my experience and anecdotal reports of others.  There is a setting under the Zwave menu called "Detect Press" that is off by default.  But I can't find any specific info on it in the Help Wiki.  And when trying to turn it on a warning box pops up with all sorts of worrying statements, so I hit cancel.

When I have time, I might turn it on to see what happens, but that scares me a little that I might break a perfectly working Eisy environment. 😬
