Noob ?ion

I just added a z-wave controller to indigo. I paired a zwave plug to it. The plug happily reports the energy usage of my internet gateway.

I'd like to set up an indigo action group, such that whenever this plug is turned "off" it will wait one minute and turn back on. (this is in case I need to remotely reset the internet. I won't get stuck with an off modem).

I have a trigger set up such that 002 Relay Power Switch received "off"

but I can't figure out how to send an "on" command. Do I send a raw z=wave command back to the plug? If so, where can I find the codes? Is there an easier way?

If it were me, I'd create the Trigger thusly:

Note the 10 second delay on the Actions tab. I typically put in a short delay here such that Indigo doesn't try to turn on the device instantaneously.

I actually have a similar thing saved as an Action called "Bounce Cable Modem" which I use periodically on demand, but also run via a schedule every 2 weeks on advice of my ISP (to force a modem reprovision).

Alternately, if you're ok executing an action group from a control page, Indigo Touch, or the Mac client rather than directly turning off the wall wart, then you can just have an action in the action group that turns it off with an auto-on after an X second delay.

Re: Noob ?ion

Thanks! I wasn't thinking. In the Actions tab, I was looking in the "Z WAVE ACTIONS" versus turn on appliance controls...

Whoops - I just noticed my example was 10 minutes -- you probably don't need to wait that long. :D
