Anybody tried Zooz 700 Series Z Remote Control & Scene Controller ZEN34. Would it work with Indigo? I need a switch I can stick on a wall. Its going on a wall where a pocket door is installed, so I can't wire up a normal one. Suggestions for other ones? I like the look of this one as it looks like a normal switch.

I have many Zooz devices. Not that one. It should connect fine to Indigo. If there is no device definition you may need to Match Raw Packet for now.

If there’s no device definition, the Zwave Scene Controller plugin should still work with it rather than defining your own packet matching.

We should have a device definition added to the next feature release of Indigo for the ZEN34. In the mean time as mentioned above you can use the Zwave Scene Controller plugin to create triggers for it.

I'm trying to associate it (zooz zen34) to a dimmer (HS-WD200+) but not having any luck. I'm waking up the button with the seven upper presses and get the blue light. But when I press "Add responding device" the blue light goes off and I get this:

Z-Wave Error timeout waiting for command to be sent
Z-Wave Error send "L2_DR_Cabinet_BTN_Z" addAssociation command failed (module might be asleep, or is unreachable)

I tried to re-wake it as soon the light goes out, but still get the same error. Am I doing something wrong?

Sounds like it goes to sleep immediately after Indigo starts trying to send it commands. I'm not sure how to keep it awake if the 7 button presses isn't working.

Have you considered just creating a Trigger in Indigo to handle the logic instead? I believe we added support for the scene commands for the ZEN34 to Indigo 2021.1.0.

Thats the way I have it working now, but it takes about a second or so to respond and feels sluggish. Also, I like to have redundancy, where if indigo for some reason isn't available it still works. In this case, the actual light switch is not readily accessible so if Indigo is down, there is no good way to actuate it.

I was hoping to use the direct linking for that "instant" switch response.

Would you know of other remotes that look like regular switches that would work with Indigo and direct linking?

Try removing the battery for a few seconds the re-inserting and then add the association. Some modules stay awake N minutes after a battery is replaced.

It sort of works. The link seems to have been made and I can turn on and off the light without triggers, but there still is a delay and Indigo doesn't notice the light turning off or on. so if it was off, and I used the remote to turn the light on, indigo still shows it as off. Also if I go back to z-wave linking the link no longer shows up there so I can't remove it. The indigo z-wave interface is still there in the responding devices list.
