Hello all,
I keep going back on forth on thinking I understand how HS handles Z-wave scenes...just when I think I understand it all of a sudden something happens to prove me wrong.
So I have two scenarios
A) Devices that support scenes. I know that HS programs the devices so they are able to talk directly (without HS in the middle). This works fine although occasionally I have to program the devices 2 or 3 times to get it to work right
B) Devices that do NOT support scenes. Here is my confusion. I have some devices that don't support scenes, I add them to HS Z-wave scenes (it tells me they don't support scenes on the "Scene Management" page) and in some cases they seem to work when the scene is activated (normally from a cooper switch) and in others they don't. I assumed HS had figured out that the devices don't support scenes so it was going to just send the actions directly to the devices that are requested in the scene.
Can someone clarify what happens in the case of scenario B? should HS be sending actions directly for devices that don't support scenes or do I need to add events that trigger when scene X is activated? if I need to do it this way then I see an event for "Scene Activation" but I don't see a scene for "Scene Deactivation"...
Help!
