How to request an update from Home assistant

[vezinpi]

Hi,

I am using zwavejs2mqtt with home assistant. The MQTT part is not used.

I have a Radio thermostat CT100+ that has a problem providing the ThermostatOperatingState in a timely manner. Sometimes it may take more than 15 min before the State is updated. It was the case when it was installed on Vera and it is still the case since it is on HomeAssistant (zwaveJS + zwavejs2mqtt). The Home Assistant integration provide a way to refresh all values with SERVICE ZWAVE_JS.REFRESH_VALUE but that generate alot traffic on the network since I need to refresh every minute.

When using the MQTT GUI, I can easily refresh the operating state by itself by browsing for the proper value.

My question:

Is there a way to interact from HASS (or other) to ZWAVEJS2MQTT to request an update similar to what I can do from the GUI?

Thanks in advance

Enable polling. https://zwave-js.github.io/zwavejs2mqtt/#/device-support/polling?id=polling-legacy-z-wave-devices

This is great. Exactely what I needed.

I did not realised that refreshing a value was in fact the same as polling. Somehow I thought that polling was more for a whole device. I should have look closer to the MQTT manual.

Many thanks
