Sending Dimmer level commands to ZW39

Setup, Configuration and Use Items & Sitemaps

Howdy. I’ve got a ZW39 dimmable smartplug working in my items and on my Page. On the Page, I have a dimmer level control that can be set to values between 0 and 100. As I slide it from up to down, the log prints this:

11:52:45.701 [INFO ] [openhab.event.ItemCommandEvent       ] - Item 'ZW39DimmableSmartPlug_Dimmer' received command 31
11:52:45.702 [INFO ] [openhab.event.ItemStatePredictedEvent] - Item 'ZW39DimmableSmartPlug_Dimmer' predicted to become 31
11:52:45.704 [INFO ] [openhab.event.ItemStateChangedEvent  ] - Item 'ZW39DimmableSmartPlug_Dimmer' changed from 0 to 31
11:52:45.901 [INFO ] [openhab.event.ItemCommandEvent       ] - Item 'ZW39DimmableSmartPlug_Dimmer' received command 77
11:52:45.903 [INFO ] [openhab.event.ItemStatePredictedEvent] - Item 'ZW39DimmableSmartPlug_Dimmer' predicted to become 77
11:52:45.907 [INFO ] [openhab.event.ItemStateChangedEvent  ] - Item 'ZW39DimmableSmartPlug_Dimmer' changed from 31 to 77
11:52:46.109 [INFO ] [openhab.event.ItemCommandEvent       ] - Item 'ZW39DimmableSmartPlug_Dimmer' received command 100
11:52:46.112 [INFO ] [openhab.event.ItemStatePredictedEvent] - Item 'ZW39DimmableSmartPlug_Dimmer' predicted to become 100
11:52:46.119 [INFO ] [openhab.event.ItemStateChangedEvent  ] - Item 'ZW39DimmableSmartPlug_Dimmer' changed from 77 to 100

Now I’m trying to set up some Rules that will let me set the dimmer level. I can send an OFF Command through a Rule no problem:

11:55:36.560 [INFO ] [openhab.event.ItemCommandEvent       ] - Item 'ZW39DimmableSmartPlug' received command OFF
11:55:36.565 [INFO ] [openhab.event.ItemCommandEvent       ] - Item 'MiniPlug2_Switch' received command OFF
11:55:36.567 [INFO ] [openhab.event.ItemCommandEvent       ] - Item 'ZW39DimmableSmartPlug_Dimmer' received command OFF
11:55:36.568 [INFO ] [openhab.event.ItemStatePredictedEvent] - Item 'MiniPlug2_Switch' predicted to become OFF
11:55:36.569 [INFO ] [openhab.event.ItemStatePredictedEvent] - Item 'ZW39DimmableSmartPlug_Dimmer' predicted to become OFF
11:55:36.570 [INFO ] [openhab.event.ItemStateChangedEvent  ] - Item 'ZW39DimmableSmartPlug_Dimmer' changed from 100 to 0

But I don’t know how to send a value (1-100). Is there a reference for commands that can be sent to a particular device? Or a common list of commands?

Thanks!

Simply send the value…

ZW39DimmableSmartPlug_Dimmer.sendCommand(55)

Does that look like this?

I’ve also tried it with just 55 as the command.
In both cases the log gives the error “Failed to execute rule ‘204d343577’ with status ‘UNINITIALIZED’”

Oops, I figured it out - it was because I had paused/disabled the Rule.
