I’m having trouble getting my new Red Dimmer to work with central scenes on Home Assistant 0.109.6. I first tried the instructions from here but that didn’t work and yetsterday I tried the steps listed here. Neither worked. Here is the automation I have thats attempting to use double tap:

  • id: hallway_double_up
    alias: 2nd Floor Hallway Double Up
    initial_state: true
    trigger:
    platform: event
    event_type: zwave.scene_activated
    event_data:
    entity_id: zwave.hallway_light
    scene_id: 2
    scene_data: 3
    action:
  • service: switch.turn_on
    entity_id: switch.atticstairs
  • id: hallway_double_down
    alias: 2nd Floor Hallway Double Down
    initial_state: true
    trigger:
    platform: event
    event_type: zwave.scene_activated
    event_data:
    entity_id: zwave.hallway_light
    scene_id: 1
    scene_data: 3
    action:
  • service: switch.turn_off
    entity_id: switch.atticstairs

And this is how it show in the log when I double tap:

Your scene data number is wrong.
1 press = 7680
2 presses = 7860
3 presses = 7920
4 presses = 7980
5 presses = 8040

Thanks, I’ll give it a try

The doc on HA about scene data is definitely wrong for the gen 2 switches and dimmers.
Also, I think you may need to use node_id in place of entity_id (though that may only be an issue with node-red and not HA’s stock automation).

Worked perfectly after updating the scene data #, I didn’t have to change anything else.

Is this our doc or HA doc? If ours, we can update!

HA documentation. OP’s second link. HA documents via github, so somebody could probably do a pull request.
