Aeotec DSC 17103 (Micro Double Switch)

Hi Guys,

It works like a charm with my DSC-17!
I ll test the power usage when I ll connect the device in my garage :stuck_out_tongue:

Juan, hopefully it’s not smalltalk anymore but you did the job
Erik, what a great job on the ST!!

Thanks a lot Erik & Juan

Has there been any progress on this?
I changed the Aeon SmartStrip handler as mentioned above and i only see the 2 switches rather than the 4.
But when setting automation i still can only turn both switches on at once, there is no choice between either one.

How can i modify the code to turn either switch interdependently when automating routines?

Thanks

If you refer to my second post, you will see if found the solution using erocm1231 virtual device type (Simulated Energy Switch

https://github.com/erocm123/SmartThingsPublic/blob/master/smartapps/erocm123/virtual-physical-switch-sync.src/virtual-physical-switch-sync.groovy

These lets you create a virtual switch for every outlet (or in our case the 2 loads of the DSC-17103) and then use these for individual actions on your automation

Thank you for the reply Juan.

I’m still a bit lost, i tried to create a device handler and copy the ‘Virtual / Physical Switch Sync’ code into the editor and install.
Do i install in to the physical device or create a virtual device?
I tried both but all i see in my startthings is a question mark ? symbol

Do i need to modify this code Virtual / Physical Switch Sync to suit my device etc?

Could you explain how to install this to suit my need.

Sorry my knowledge is very basic on this.

Thanks

No problem

I gather you already have the DSC 17103 installed with erocm1231 Device Handler?

If not start there, in IDE create a device handler and paste the code from erocm1231 DTH and then make sure your DSC is assigned to that DTH

The other code I pointed to is not a Device Handler but a SmartApp so you do same as DH but this time create the SmartApp in IDE (“my SmartApps”) paste this code and then in your phone App go to marketplace and install new SmartApp / My Apps / Virtual /Physical Switch Sync

-Edit: Forgot to put the step to create the virtual devices: You need to create a couple of virtual devices in IDE as well, name them according to load they will control, Type is Simulated Switch, network ID something unique (I used v001, v002)

you will then find a new SmartApp in your Hamburger Menu where you choose the Physical Switch (your DSC) and then assign each load to one of the virtual Switches (you created in previous step)

These virtual devices sit in your Things and you use the virtual switch as any other On/Off switch

Hey guys, I recently bought one of these and released a device handler for it.

Hello ERIC M
I have been reading your posts here on this device. Do you think this device would be a good fit for opening and closing curtains?? OR would you recommend A different device. Maybe one that would just pair with smartthings and not have to do device handlers. Thanks alot for your time.

Honestly, I don’t know anything about curtain control. I would think you would want a device that supports “dimming” so that you could open the curtains say . . . 50%. This is an on/off only device. Perhaps you can post the question as a new thread and ask what the best curtain controller is.

Thank you for taking the time to answer.

Perfect, thank you so much for the help.

I now have 2 virtual switches in my ‘‘Things’’ column. I am able to control each light independently.

Just one thing i noticed, the virtual buttons icons in my things always seems to favor being on, even when the light is off.

If i turn the light off, the icon to go off, button when i move from that screen and go back, or close and open the app, the icon will say On. Even when the switch is in the off state.

Any ideas?

Hi!

Is anyone using these in a 3way configuration? I wasn’t able to find any documentation or schematics from Aeotec for this. I see folks using a different version of the non-duplex micro switch in 3way, but the terminals for that switch don’t match up with the duplex.

Best!

@Todd_Breslow I am not using this in a 3-way config, but I would think the docs for the regular micro switches should apply. The only difference is the number of relays of course. You just have to treat it like two different switches.

@Foster182 Make sure you have the SmartApp and “Simulated Switch” device handler installed from that thread and that your virtual switches are using it. If you are still having problems after verifying that, post some logs for me to take a look.

@erocm1231 Many thanks! The only wiring schematics I can find are for the regular micro switches at http://aeotec.com/support/1219-micro-switch-wiring-schematics.html. They have a warning: These wiring schematic will only work with the Micro Switch G2, or Micro Smart Switch G2. I think these duplex ones are a different beast.

I added 2 new virtual switches and set them to simulated and reassigned the relay.
Working perfect now, i must of not set the virtual switches up as simulated.

Thank you Eric!

The official word from Aeotec is that the DSC 17103 can’t be used in a 3 way application. Darn. But I have this working elsewhere perfectly using the assets and procedure above. (At first I missed the Create Simulated Switch step, if anyone is having trouble double check this).

Many thanks @erocm1231, brilliant work!

Hello Juan Carlos

I have recently bought a couple of the double switches but found out that no smartapps are able to manage any individual switches, therefore the dual switch becomes a bit useless.
Do you know about any smartapps development to solve this issue?

Regards

You have to create a couple of virtual switches and then you can use this SmartApp

erocm123/SmartThingsPublic/blob/master/smartapps/erocm123/virtual-physical-switch-sync.src/virtual-physical-switch-sync.groovy

You then use your virtual switches anywhere you would use the regular switch

I just installed two with one being 3-way. It all works fine but I had to test and think about how the micro switch works.

In short the common becomes the power to the three way.

Is DSC 17 still available?

Anyone got a link for where i can buy them?

You can still buy them in eBay (look for DSC17103-ZWUS) but this is now I think a discontinued model

They new switches are their Nano Switches (much smaller) but I don’t believe they offer a Double Load Nano switch
