Activate scene from scheduled job

[fpytloun]

Hello, I would like to have job that will attempt to turn off heating every few hours to have a fallback mechanism directly on controller in case Homeassistant is down or cannot use ZWave properly (if it is functioning properly, it will just turn on heating again).

I created scene like this that works as expected but I cannot find a script to use as a scheduled job. Can someone please give me example or some clues?

Scenes are executed using MQTT. https://zwave-js.github.io/zwave-js-ui/#/guide/mqtt?id=execute-scene

Yes, that I saw. But it also requires some external system to be running and accessible. I want failsafe mechanism that will work even when network is unreachable. There must be some way how to execute from script, just cannot find it 🙁

You can try a driver function and see if it will let you call this.zwaveClient._activateScene.

Yes, this works! Thank you.

@fpytloun FYI you could also opt for broadcast/multicast command in this case as the valueId you are controlling are the same ones (and that's also much faster)
