Hi all, from my previous smarthome central unit I know that the color on the Aeotec Smart Switch 7 can be changed, i.e. when the switch is off or at a certain time. In the forum I found some information for smart switch 6, but unfortunately it didn`t work I also tried to send some basic messages, but nothing happend Can anyone here help me out with some information or already knows what has to be done? Thank you Carsten ---

I’m wondering if there’s a setting for these Aeotec light switches to have the LED indicator come on when the switch is off. Currently the indicator light is on when the switch is on and off when the switch is off. It would be easier to locate the switch in the dark if the indicator was visible. My other brands of light switches work this way (GE, Zooz) ---

Technically it is possible, but that functionality isn’t build into the app. It is also possible to do it with raw z-wave commands (if included unsecure), but can’t look them up until I get home. ---

That would be very helpful, I already tried something but always failed. ---

It will change the behaviour of the LED of what state the socket is in. (On or Off) You can send the command with the Flow card (you might need to enable “power user” in the mobile app for this flow card) **Brightness control:** `0x26, 0x01, 0x63` Where the 0x63 is the brightness value, for some reason it won’t work (well) with decimal numbers so you’ll have to convert the value to a hexadecimal number. where `0x00` is off (0%) and `0x63` is maximum brightness (100%). (Decimal wise it is 0 - 99) Default ON (50%): `0x26, 0x01, 0x31` Default OFF (10%): `0x26, 0x01, 0x0A` **Color control:** This is done in RGB fashion: `0x33, 0x05, 0x03, 0x02, 255, 0x03, 255, 0x04, 255` Where the first 255 is the Red channel The second 255 is the Green channel The third 255 is the Blue channel this can be done with any decimal values, from 0 - 255 Examples: White (Default ON): `0x33, 0x05, 0x03, 0x02, 255, 0x03, 255, 0x04, 255` Red: `0x33, 0x05, 0x03, 0x02, 255, 0x03, 0, 0x04, 0` Green (Default OFF): `0x33, 0x05, 0x03, 0x02, 0, 0x03, 255, 0x04, 0` Blue: `0x33, 0x05, 0x03, 0x02, 0, 0x03, 0, 0x04, 255` Yellow: `0x33, 0x05, 0x03, 0x02, 255, 0x03, 255, 0x04, 0` Cyan: `0x33, 0x05, 0x03, 0x02, 0, 0x03, 255, 0x04, 255` Magenta: `0x33, 0x05, 0x03, 0x02, 255, 0x03, 0, 0x04, 255` ---

@Caseda thank you for providing the options and details. I tried to change the device at knot 77 with the following command: 77 0x26 0x01 0x20 but nothing happened. Could you please tell me where you found the parameter information? I wasn`t able to find it myself ---

There is a comma inbetween each value in my commands for a reason, I don’t see that in your command? The information is not easily findable, if you dont know which (2) document you need on the sigma (z-wave creator) website, I would highly recommend not even trying as it consists of about 1300-1500 pages of information. ---

The comma is present, I found the reason, the LED was set to night light mode, there the command was ignored when the time is met. After changing to on/off state everything is as expected, thank you @Caseda I have just one question for the color command, the first (0x33) is the command class, the second( 0,05) is ??? and the third (0x03) is the length of the message, right? ---

Second value is the “set” command, so the device know you are setting a value in the previously mentioned command class. Further your analogie is correct. Though “length”, I guess “the amount of colors” is more precise.
