I have several 3-way switches in my home. I have been using the GE 3-way switch and add-ons. However, I wish the Add-on switch had an Indicator light as well. I’ve tried a few Linear WZ001 switches (which have a green instead of the blue indicator) but they are only z-wave devices and don’t seem to …

[image] chrisb: If anyone is wondering how they update so quick when they can’t report, here’s the info that ST gave to much a long time ago. I’m assuming this is still the method used. This isn’t quite what happens with instant reporting. For the Leviton VRMX1, when the switch is pressed, …

[image] bravenel: I’m really curious what z-wave command a GE switch sends. There isn’t a “sort of z-wave network command” or a “whatever” command. It can’t be sending hail() unless that’s under a Lutron license. So check the logs and see what it actually sends. I can’t recall what it was …

[quote=“JDRoberts, post:19, topic:25014, full:true”] (I think you and I have briefly discussed the patent issue before but let me just say again that the patent was issued at a time when no one was doing it and a lot of engineering research went into how to do it. The patent was done long before Z-…

[image] chrisb: So my general understanding was right, just a number of the finer details were off. Among those details that, GE switches do not instant report, nor do they ordinarily participate in an association. What was described was right as to instant reporting devices that use hail(),…
