[OBSOLETE] Zooz RGBW Dimmer (ZEN31)

Once tested will your DTH be updated? I believe I am seeing the same issue.

I just published the new version, but please confirm that it fixes your problem and doesn’t break anything.

I won’t be converting the Zooz RGBW Dimmer DTH into an Edge Driver, but most of the functionality should work with a built-in driver once the Groovy platform is retired

I contacted Zooz support and this is the response:

The ZEN31 does not have an official driver yet; in the meantime, one of the users created a custom driver that will take this device local.
It can be accessed through this link: SmartThings. Add a little smartness to your things.

You’ll then need to install the “Z-Wave Bulb Mc” driver from the list, delete the current groovy handlers if you have them installed still, and re-include the ZEN31 to your system.

I don’t know why, but I am totally shocked that community programmers are having to “save” people like me. I’m even more shocked that a request for company support referred me to a community programmer. They owe you @Mariano_Colmenarejo! Thank you VERY much! It’s working for all my automation and control needs with the exception of Alexa. Alexa only sees this as a dimmable light with no RGB control.

Thanks, @jsdray

Why are they going to pay their developer to make the driver if it’s already made for free? :thinking:
I figure that when the migration is complete and they have more time they will do it and perhaps create child devices to control rgbw components by Alexa

@Mariano_Colmenarejo Quick question if you don’t mind… The control works great within the smartthings app. But is there something special about it or am I missing something for sharptools? There are a lot of configurable items in the settings and I’m not sure what they are. I get “error sending command” when I try to use the color picker in sharp tools.

Hi @jsdray

I don’t know if SharpTools can control secondary components and if that can be the problem.

Maybe @joshua_lyon can answer this for you.

Yes, SharpTools can control components other than the ‘main’ component.

It sends across the command setColor({"hue": XX, "saturation": YY}). Of critical note is it does not send the level across as part of the color map. I’ve seen some drivers require that in the past and it’s caused issues.

@jsdray if you want to send a note to support@sharptools.io with the approximate time (and timezone) of a time that you tried to control the color and got an error, I can try to pull the logs to take a closer look. :slight_smile:

Rookie mistake… I failed to resync after switching from DHT to Edge Driver…
You guys are awesome. Thank you very much @joshua_lyon and @Mariano_Colmenarejo

Can this controller be used with a tunable white LED strip? This would be a 3 wire strip that mixes just warm and cold white.

Hi @Typ44q
From the GetZooz website:

This device will only work with simple LED strips that don’t feature any wireless capabilities or don’t have addressable LED’s or tunable white LED’s. You can use a single color LED strip with this controller, a 3-channel RGB strip, or a 4-channel RGBW LED strip.

This beta driver is the only one available for ZEN31 now?

Looks like ST migrated this to a generic Z-Wave Switch Edge driver and its lost all of its customization settings. What is everyone else using for a driver for this?

Use the official Zooz driver

@Paul_Oliver Looking at that list and I dont see ZEN31 listed, can you clarify further which one it is?

Pretty sure there is not an official zooz one, trying out this (EDGE Driver-Mc): Z-Wave Edge Drivers and others with FIBARO devices:

I don’t see it either but I would try Zooz switch. It can’t hurt anything.

I have all of their drivers installed, there is no fingerprint match for the Zen31 so none of the Zooz drivers populate as an option in ST for the Zen31.

This was an unusual device, because it was a re-branded fibaro rather than an original Zooz design.

They discontinued it sometime ago and decided not to include it in their new official edge drivers.

I don’t know if there’s a community-created edge Driver for the fibaro equivalent or not.
