Write script to toggle other device?

[stephanvierkant]

I've got a Z-wave device that doesn't support target endpoints, so I can't use the associate group to toggle another device.

Is it possible to write a script that gets an event from one node and sends a command to another?

I'm thinking of something like this (pseudo-code):

const button = driver.controller.nodes.get(63);
const light = driver.controller.nodes.get(69);

button.on('event', function (event) {
    light.getBinarySwitch(2).value = event.value
}

Is this even possible? It feels like a valid use case, but I can't find that much information about writing/storing/executing scripts.

Hi @stephanvierkant!

Yes it's possible, also now with scheduled-jobs it would be even easier :)

You should bind to node value updated or value notification event:

const button = driver.controller.nodes.get(63);
const light = driver.controller.nodes.get(69);

button.on('value updated', function (zwaveNode, args) {
    if(// check the valueId of the event) {
		light.setValue(valueId, value, options)
	}
}

You don't have to save the file, just create a new scheduled job with that function

8.7.0 available now

But where do I put that code? In the UI?

Yes, if you check docs it's explained well

Sorry, didn't understand that I needed to update to 8.7.0 first! Thanks for helping!
