Long Method (uses scenes to trigger an ON/OFF Basic Set command)

If you are faced with an issue with Vera not being able to turn your Smart Switch 6 ON or OFF on your Vera interface, there is a way to force the SS6 to turn ON and OFF using a scene trigger and luup coding.


When clicking ON or OFF on the Vera interface, if it does not turn off your SS6, then it is sending the wrong command to the SS6. It is sending the MULTILEVEL SWITCH V1 command class instead of the BASIC SET command class which will turn ON and OFF the LED strip around the plug while the SS6 is in Night Mode (Parameter 81 [1 byte dec]: 2).


Until this issue is fixed, this is a workaround that can be used to trigger the SS6. This article will guide you on how to create the automatic scene as a workaround.


1) First determine the NodeID of your SS6 by clicking on the arrow.

2) Then select "Advanced"

3) Under Params Tab, altid will tell you your NodeID. (In this example, the NodeID = 16)


4) Now Click on "Scene" on the left tool bar


5) On the top right side of the screen, click on "Add Scene"



Create an Automatic Scene to turn ON your SS6

6) On Step 1, select your Smart Switch 6, then set it so that whenever the Smart Switch 6 is turned ON, the scene will trigger.

7) On Step 2, click on Next (You do not have to set any device actions)

8) On Step 3, click on the arrow under "Execute the following Luup Code"

9) Input "luup.call_action('urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:ZWaveNetwork1','SendData',{Node='16',Data='37 1 255'},1)"


Node='16' Explanation

*The Node identification was found in step 3 of this article.


Data='37 1 255' Explanation

*37 is the Basic Command Class

*1 means the SET command

*255 is the ON command


10) Name your scene and click on the green Finish button at the bottom.
