How to use dimmer of Philio Tech Smart Color Button?

[gvanrekum]

Hi,

I've got a Philio Tech Smart Color Button. I want this device to control my bathroom roller shutter. The switch is working (using node groups). I also want to use the dimmer function (to control the position of the roller shutter). But I can't get it working...

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Greetz,
Gerard

Hi Gerard,

I am thinking of buying one of these buttons - did you get it working?

[gvanrekum]

Yes I did, also using node groups. Only thing is that there is an delay of 8-10 seconds when controlling something with the switch.

Hi just got my new toy - but I cannot get any devices for it in domoticz. Can you only map it directly to a dimmer or did you manage to use it as a switch in domoticz?

I've got a nodon octan remote which will show me devices for each button and single, double, hold events...

I got a little bit further... the control is working perfect with direct association to another node. But I cannot find a way of getting its values to domoticz.
I tried with Homegenie - the dim value shows up there without delay, so I assume it is something with the openzwave file. Only a little amount of the supported command classes are defined in the config. Is there anyone out there who might give me a tip what I can do to the config file to get my on/off /dim value? I'd like to use it to control my receivers volume and I need the direct remote <-> controller connection ...

Another update - but still not working: I played around with the config file after looking to the logs - log stated following, so I thought it may be something with the config:

2016-07-06 17:57:07.124 Info, Node035, Received Basic set from node 35: level=62. Treating it as a Basic report.
2016-07-06 17:57:07.125 Detail, Node035, Refreshed Value: old value=39, new value=62, type=byte
2016-07-06 17:57:07.125 Detail, Node035, Changes to this value are not verified
2016-07-06 17:57:07.125 Detail, Node035, Notification: ValueChanged

I am just trying around fully blind - after removing the "setasreport="true"" flag it changed from ValueChanged to NodeEvent

2016-07-06 18:53:23.746 Info, Node035, Received Basic set from node 35: level=42. Sending event notification.
2016-07-06 18:53:23.746 Detail, Node035, Notification: NodeEvent

but still no device in Domoticz. The wall switch is recognized like it should.

2016-07-06 18:53:24.182 Info, Node014, Received SwitchMultiLevel report: level=42
2016-07-06 18:53:24.182 Detail, Node014, Refreshed Value: old value=81, new value=42, type=byte

2016-07-06 18:53:24.182 Detail, Node014, Notification: ValueChanged

Anyone knowing how I can force domoticz to create me a device for node35 basic report?

Hi,
did you suceed to include the buttons as devices?

I want to change the state of a virtual switch with the buttons (by script or scene or similar), however the button press does not reach the SW, so that I can react on it.

Thanks

Hi everyone. Any updates regarding this?
Also what is node groups, is there when you add another z-wave device id to the 2 group on the button?
