Hi @Familia_Cuesta_Garci,
Thank you for the detailed feedback and also for the kind words about the speed of the local integration.
Regarding the Valena Next wireless switch (REF. 741814) and the button Flow cards:
Unfortunately, the battery-powered wireless switches go into a deep sleep state. I have spent quite a lot of time trying to make the button events work reliably, including single, double and long-press events, but so far I have not been able to solve this properly.
So you are not doing anything wrong. At the moment, this is a limitation I have not yet been able to overcome with the local HomeKit implementation.
Regarding the Valena Next connected outlet (REF. 741220) and the “The power changed” Flow trigger:
Unfortunately, the power consumption information is not exposed to the app through the HomeKit interface. HomeKit gives me the basic outlet state, but Legrand does not provide the actual power or energy consumption values through this connection.
Because this data simply does not reach Homey through HomeKit, I currently have no way to create a reliable “power changed” trigger for it.
Hi @Goncalo_Barradas,
Regarding the tilt / slat angle support, I have already started looking into this.
The problem is that I do not own any Legrand shutter or blind with physical tilt support, so I cannot test this myself.
Could you please tell me one thing:
When you used your Legrand installation normally with Apple Home / HomeKit, was the tilt or slat-angle control available there?
In other words, could you control both the open/close position and the slat angle from Apple Home, or did Apple Home only show the normal 0–100% shutter position?
This is important because there is a possibility that Legrand does not expose the tilt functionality through HomeKit at all. If the tilt control was available in Apple Home, then I can investigate whether I can also expose it in Homey.
Since you have the actual hardware, this information would help me a lot.
I also want to give everyone a small update about the direction of the app.
For roughly the last week and a half, I have spent a lot of time investigating whether I could bypass the HomeKit layer completely and add Legrand devices directly to Homey via Zigbee.
Unfortunately, I have not found a workable solution.
I cannot even get the devices to join Homey reliably as unknown Zigbee devices. My current suspicion is that there are restrictions or manufacturer-specific requirements on the Legrand side that prevent normal direct pairing with Homey.
There is also another complication in my own installation: the Legrand setup I have been testing appears to expect Zigbee channel 11, while my Homey Zigbee network is currently running on channel 25.
In my environment, channel 25 gives me much better coexistence with my Wi-Fi networks, so moving my entire Homey Zigbee network just for Legrand would not be a good solution.
So after quite a lot of testing and research, I unfortunately have not found a clean path for direct Zigbee integration yet.
For now, HomeKit Local remains the most practical way I have found to communicate with these Legrand devices locally, but I will keep investigating the remaining limitations whenever I find a possible way forward.
Hi again @Guray_Kircuvaloglu,
I might have provided the wrong reference number earlier. The device is actually not a battery-powered wireless switch, but a wired connected switch with neutral and a dimming option (https://www.legrand.es/es/productos/interruptor-conectado-con-neutro-con-opcion-regulacion-150w-valena-next-wnetatmo-blanco-741814). Currently, I can read its on/off status, but Homey doesn’t register the physical button presses.
I’m not sure if this detail helps in tracking down the issue. Or did you mean that the wireless switch is the device you use for your own testing, and that is why you can’t find a solution for the wired one? I’m a bit slow today 
As for the lack of power consumption information, it’s a pity, but it is what it is. As a workaround, I’ve duplicated the smart plugs using the other cloud-based app just to monitor the power consumption, while keeping the actual control and management running through your app.
It’s a pity that your attempts to bypass the HomeKit layer didn’t work out. Regardless of this issue, this app is already a huge step forward compared to other alternatives.
Thanks again for all your effort and help!.
Hello,
Thank you for the clarification. Yes, I initially thought the device was a battery-powered wireless switch, so this additional information is very helpful.
Since the 741814 is a wired switch with a neutral connection and dimming support, I will investigate why the physical button presses are not being detected while the on/off status works correctly. I’ll check whether this is related to the event mapping in the app.
I’m very glad that the app is working well with your devices, and I truly appreciate your detailed feedback. I’ll keep this switch model and the button event issue in mind for a future update.
