Hi,

Is there a way to send a “Basic On” and “Basic Off” from a flow? I know I can send raw ZWave commands through the flow, but I don’t know what to send. Is it a specific commend per type of device? Or a generic code for all devices?

Thanks in advance,

Cheers,  
/Cactus

The placeholder/example (0x20, 0x01, 0xFF) in the send raw z-wave command flow card is already the “Basic On” command, if you want the off signal change the `FF` into `00`.

This is the same for every device. (Not all will respond if they are configured by the manufacturer for secure devices to just accept the secure basic on/off command).

Device = the “Node ID” above it, there is no way to use only 1 card for all devices.

It is btw not possible with Homey script, Homey script doesn’t have enough permissions for that.
