I have read through some of the other posts but none have helped me yet. I bought an Aqara WS-USC03 Wall Switch and I can’t seem to find the Edge Driver for it. I tried Veon’s drivers but none show up in the driver list for the switch. Any directions would be useful thx.
I’ll admit I was just understanding device handlers when they did the whole switch to Edge Drivers. Anyway I’m still rocking a V2 Hub incase yall need to know that.
My experience with Aqara devices is that they do best when connected to an Aqara hub. A couple of the hub models support Matter and will connect to your V2 hub via Matter-over-bridge.
I started out with a deal on two three-packs of Aqara leak sensors that I tried connecting to SmartThings. They kept dropping offline so I bought the Aqara M2 hub and put them on their own Zigbee network. I’ve since added some temp/humidity/pressure sensors and additional leak sensors.
The M2 hub is connected to my V2 SmartThings hub via matter and everything is solid.
Thats cool. I was looking at getting an Aqara hub too. That may be my solution then.
I will say that the main issue with going to an Aqara hub is you’ll be building a separate Zigbee network. So you may need something mains-powered depending on distances. I did have to buy an Aqara plug in outlet to reach one part of the house.
Are you sure you have installed the correct driver?
What is the vendor and model ID of your device (device card → three dots → information)?
But in your screenshot it’s a definitely a LEDVANCE A19 smart bulb.
Are you sure that you are working on the correct device? Your switch should show up as a separate device, not as a smart bulb and you can’t switch the driver of the bulb to the aforementioned veonua Aqara/Xiaomi Switch and Button driver.
Well crap good catch. That means the switch never actually paired. And now I dont see it in the app. Thx.
Ok. So Thank you Andreas for catching my mistake that I was looking at the wrong device. I am now able to see the 2 drivers (plus the ST default driver) but the drivers both have 1 thing missing: a way to disable the relay. I confirmed with Aqara that the WS-USC03 can do this, but the instruction they gave me uses their hub and app. So I may still have to get the hub.
Any other ideas here?
Seriously thank you everyone for the help.
It would be possible if the driver had this feature implemented. It’s actually not that difficult.
From ZHA:
Edit: the driver supports this feature, but not for your model:
@Clell_Britt post a feature request in this thread:
Tagging @veonua .
Thx. I made a replay in that post. I read through some of that thread but man it’s a long one. Again thx for the help.
Hi Andreas, Clell,
According to the website I use as a reference for supported features, this particular model doesn’t support any additional features beyond basic on/off functionality. I don’t see any US switches that support decouple mode, which you’re looking for.
The simplest solution would likely be a dedicated remote switch.
Thx for the reply @veonua. I didn’t realize this switch doesn’t support that mode. Thanks for the info. I did a little bit more digging into aqara’s website. The H2 (US) says it supports decouple mode. Does your driver support that switch too?
