I have LZW42 bulbs that are by default transitioning in what I counted to be 3 seconds. Is there a way to make this transition time 0, so that it will instantly turn on/off?
I am using Home Assistant 2021.9.3 with OS 6.1. Firmware on the bulbs are v2.31. I am using Z-Wave JS to MQTT with MQTT disabled.
I see some transition parameters below in zwave2mqtt UI panel, but I don’t think I am using it right. Under “Send Options”, I do not know how to confirm the value as there is no arrow to send the message like on all other parameters. For [14-38-0-duration], it is already at 0…
In my automation where I have an action to turn on the light bulb, I tried adding a “transition: 0” line, but got the error; “Message malformed: extra keys not allowed @ data[‘transition’]”
If your code is exactly as you pasted it, you may have some formatting issues. When you post code there is a “preformatted text” option that you should use.
Let me know if you get it working!
I agree, it would be nice to be able to change defaults, but for the time being I’ve built in transition times for anything specific. Some things I have set to instant, but lots of times I just use 1 second for a smooth, but not lengthy on/off effect.
