LED Effects with Inovelli Blue and Zigbee2MQTT/Home Assistant

Switches General Discussion
21

I was not having luck with my new fan switch and discovered that it is showing up as model “Fan controller (VZM35-SN)” without the Inovelli. Adding a line to models around 201 resolved my issue. Not sure why mine is showing up differently. Currently running Z2M 1.33.1-dev

Interesting, if the models values were stripped down to just the model number the filter should work the same. Can you test that for me?

  models:
    - VZM31-SN
    - VZM35-SN

This means you are using the contributed convertor instead of the external convertor and the maintainer of z2m requested the name of the device be changed, removing the Inovelli portion from the name.

Looks great! Is there something like this to control LED notifications for the Z-Wave Red 800 LR switches?

Can you say more about the external converter? I run Z2M in its own docker and the latest tag didn’t have the VZM35-SN yet so I had to use the dev tag. I actually just got around to converting from ZHA to Z2M so it is very new to me but I love the flexibility of MQTT. I run HAOS in its own proxmox VM and then dockers for node-red, mqtt, z2m, etc.

Thanks

This works!

Nice! Thanks for testing. I’ll update the blueprint soon.

There was a PR to add the VZM35 to z2m default converters. The z2m repo maintainer renamed the device in the PR. So, since you were using the dev z2m, you were getting the new name and that was making the blueprint have issues. Looks like having the model numbers in the blueprint catches the devices no matter which converter / version you are using.
