Hey guys,

maybe these questions are stupid but I can't figure it out on my own

1. Where is the Scene Creation module located ? I use up to date stable software of z-way but at the location which is described I can't find the scene creation option.

2. How can I create a device which runs external code (e.g. for Hue) ? Currently there is only an JS code application but nothing to run external code files

Hope for assist, thx

Click on the top right corner "tool" symbol, and select Apps - Local apps. Look for this symbol:

Hard to say. It depends if you also want to interact from Z-Way with this external code, or if it just has to be started.

ah cool thx, I just want the script to be executed. So e.g. a bash script should be executed to switch on a hue light

Try with App CodeDevice. Choose SwitchBinary and define the on/off commands with a system call something like
Make sure to add the following line to /opt/z-way-server/automation/.syscommands After upgrading to a new Z-Way version you have to add that line again to .syscommands

(I do save my scripts in storage at the moment)
