Refresh does not work with device types

I’ve customized the thermostat to add battery and auto clock set functions which get the value every 1440 minutes.

As part of it Ive modified the Refresh button to do a “refresh” instead of a poll (this refresh function reset the 1440 minutes to now).

So the changes made are:

    capability "Refresh"

and

    standardTile("refresh", "command.refresh", inactiveLabel: false, decoration: "flat") {
		state "default", action:"refresh.refresh", icon:"st.secondary.refresh" // CUSTOMIZATION
	}

These are taken from the documentation.

@bflorian just wanted to bring this to your attention, Refresh never works. If I use the above as given by the documentation the refresh function is never called. For it to work, I need to remove the capability line, modify to “device.refresh” and modify the action to just “refresh” and then it works.

Is this a bug or is the documentation incorrect or am I doing something wrong here?

Infact the standardTile code also work if I just remove the capability Refresh. The moment the capability line is introduced it stops working

Works for me WITH the capability “refresh” line:

    standardTile("refresh", "command.refresh", inactiveLabel: false) {
        state "default", label:'refresh', action:"refresh.refresh", icon:"st.secondary.refresh-icon"
    }

Here’s my device metadata header:

Do you also have a command “refresh” declaration?

Yep this is what I included

    capability "Refresh"
    command "refresh"

The moment I delete these 2 lines it works great, the moment I include them it stops

This is the reference documentation:

http://docs.smartthings.com/en/latest/device-type-developers-guide/building-z-wave-device-types/z-wave-device-reference.html

Here is the whole code if anyone’s interested. This is working, if I put the capability in it it stops working.

Beats me - the only difference I noted was that you’re using decoration: “flat” and I’m not, but when I tried mine with that flag, it still works.

Have your tried perhaps deleting and reinstalled your device from scratch?

no I’ll give it a short (painful though).

Nest questions if it’s working without the Refresh capability/command - why change it? what benefit is there?

Yep then it worked. thanks
