builtInDimmer - ZWave |
{% include base.html %}
This describes the Z-Wave device builtInDimmer, manufactured by BeNext with the thing type UID of benext_builtindimmer_00_000.
The device is in the category of Wall Switch, defining Any device attached to the wall that controls a binary status of something, for ex. a light switch.
The builtInDimmer supports routing. This allows the device to communicate using other routing enabled devices as intermediate routers. This device is also able to participate in the routing of data between other devices in the mesh network.
No device information is provided in the database. Consider updating the database to improve the documentation.
The following table summarises the channels available for the builtInDimmer -:
| Channel | Channel Id | Category | Item Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dimmer | switch_dimmer | DimmableLight | Dimmer |
| Electric meter (kWh) | meter_kwh | Energy | Number |
| Electric meter (watts) | meter_watts | Energy | Number |
The brightness channel allows to control the brightness of a light. It is also possible to switch the light on and off.
The switch_dimmer channel supports the Dimmer item and is in the DimmableLight category.
Indicates the energy consumption (kWh).
The meter_kwh channel supports the Number item and is in the Energy category. This is a read only channel so will only be updated following state changes from the device.
Indicates the instantaneous power consumption.
The meter_watts channel supports the Number item and is in the Energy category. This is a read only channel so will only be updated following state changes from the device.
The following table provides a summary of the 13 configuration parameters available in the builtInDimmer. Detailed information on each parameter can be found in the sections below.
