Unable to power toggle GE Z-Wave Plus 40-Amp Indoor/Outdoor Smart Switch (14285)

  • I have checked the troubleshooting section and my problem is not described there.

Describe the bug

My Z-Wave controller connects to the GE/Jasco Smart Switch just fine. It reports the correct power state based on the manual switch, as well as other various power usage data. The problem is when I try to power toggle the “binary switch” nothing happens. It looks like Home Assistant Sends a command, but the Switch just does not respond.

If you are using zwavejs2mqtt @tswyman you can set the log level to debug in settings and then log it to a file so you can grab it

@tswyman,

Please could you attach the DEBUG logs, that are generated by the Z-Wave JS library?, I’m not sure how you do that with HomeAssistant or any middleware that maybe involved.

The node configuration as attached, is helpful, but it doesn’t show the communication between the Controller/node/Z-Wave JS.

Thanks.

EDIT: Attempt the Binary Switch Command, so that it is captured in the log.
