How To: Create a Scene with RGBW Bulbs | Home Assistant

Introduction

Below you will find the information necessary to create an automation based on the different button presses of your Inovelli device! In this example we will use the scene that is sent when we double click the light on/off button on the Fan + Light to set an RGBW light to our favorite color. 

Scene Data

This information is what Home Assistant parses from a Central Scene report. Use the tables below in order to specify which button press you want to create an automation on in Home Assistant.

Step by Step

Below you will find a guide on how to setup a simple automation in Home Assistant that is activated when one of the button presses above is performed. In this automation we will activate an effect on the LED bar of the switch to make it flash yellow. 

1. Click on "Configuration" from the Home Assistant web GUI main page.



2. Next click on the "Automations" link to create an automation.

3. Now you can click on the + icon to create a new automation.



4. Name your automation whatever you would like and proceed to fill in the "Triggers" and "Action" sections. 



5. In the Triggers section use the information in the above tables to specify what button event you want to trigger this automation. Below I have specified the zwave entity_id for the lzw36 an + light switch that has a node ID of 23. The scene data "7860" and the scene_id "2" should tell you that I am creating an automation for when the up button is double pressed. The entity_id, node_id, & other data will be specific to your system and what you are trying to do.



entity_id: zwave.inovelli_lzw36_fan_light_dimmer
node_id: 23
scene_data: 7860
scene_id: 2



6. Next, in the Actions section, I have chosen to call the service "light.turn_on". This action will turn on the bulb and set its color to red. You can of course choose whatever you would like here, but I have chosen something simple to demonstrate. Select the correct entity from the drop down list and input the following service data. You can change this to specify a specific color or brightness that you would like to use.

brightness: 150
rgb_color:
  - 255
  - 0
  - 0



7. Finally you can click on the yellow save circle in the lower right hand corner (Looks like a 3.5" floppy disk for some reason) to save the automation.

Now, test the automation to see how it performs!
