Best 4-device wallmounted remote for ST?

[JDRoberts]

lots of people are using the “S” devices, both the four button and the two button.

You don’t need a Leviton controller to make it work.

[OBSOLETE] Leviton VRCS4

I’ve created a device type for the Leviton Vizia VRCS4 Scene Controller. Because of the way the scene commands work, I essentially turned it into a 4 button remote, 3 if there is a built in relay. Setting it up is a bit of work: Note: buttons are numbered 1-4 and dim, with dim at the bottom. To associate, press and hold buttons 1 and 3 on the VRCS4 for 5 seconds, the LEDs will start to flash amber. Hold the SmartThings Hub near to the device tell the SmartThings app to connect a new device. Note: you tell the device to connect before the hub. The hub should find a ZWave Remote. This will eventually be your scene controller. If you have a load connected to the VRCS4 (hardwired): Go back to the SmartThings app dashboard. Press and hold buttons 2 and 4 on the VRCS4 for 5 seconds. The le…

[OBSOLETE] Leviton VRCS2

Leviton makes a 2 button/2 relay switch that works differently than SmartThings expects. Each button associates as a separate Z-Wave switch (theres a remote control that is also associated, but It seems to be less useful). The switches respond to SmartThings commands as you would expect, but pressing the physical buttons does not send standard on-off commands. Instead it sends scene commands. I created a device type that interprets these scene commands as state changes so the buttons work like instant status updates. The device type is available here:

The “Z” models have been more problematic. Some people say they work fine with the same device type handlers, some couldn’t get them to work at all.

You can just ask questions in the thread I just linked to about the S devices as there are many community members using them successfully.
