Loving my Inovelli blue 2-1 switches
One quirk I am trying to address within Home Assistant is controlling the LED’s in certain parameters. I have been successful in setting up some automation thus far.
An example is my garage doors. I’d like when one of my garage doors is open for the LED on the light switch to remain a certain color for as long as that entity remains in that state. With the default LED notification settings, I can only have a max of 255 seconds.
Is this currently feasible?
Yep. There are four pieces to setting a notification: Effect, Color, Level (brightness) and Duration. You should specify all four when setting a notification. For your case, the Duration should be set to indefinitely.
Not sure how this presents in HA.
In HA, go through settings, devices, zwave, your device to get to your device page. Under Configuration, click the line for the entities not shown then find the 4 with effects (duration, color, type, brightness) and enable them. Click on, click the gear then Enable. Then, you’ll have the 4 entities you can simply set to do effects.
I appreciate you both jumping in here. So the thing is - I do see those options, its just that the duration only seems to allow a max of 255 seconds in home assistant. See below screenshots:
255 is indefinite. I think 1-60 is seconds, 61-120 is minutes by subtracting 60 and 121-254 is hours by subtracting 120.
I’d recommend using this Blueprint (I didn’t make it) for managing effects in Home Assistant. It works with all of the red series, blue series and black series and makes it a lot easier to use rather than remembering the key for each of the parameters.
