Hello,
Everytime my hub discovers a switch it gives it a name with Z-Wave in front of the item such as Z-wave switch. How would I make it so it automatically names it just Switch. Can I make a device handler so that it would rename it Switch instead of Z-Wave switch. I know I can rename the device on the app, but I wanted to know if there’s a way so it automatically names the device just Switch. I would really appreciate any replies. Thanks.
Aren’t you going to rename it anyway? What’s the difference what the default name is??
Well I also had a follow up question that everytime I press the on and off button, it keeps on saying turning off and turning on between on and off which makes the reaction take longer and delay more. How can I make it so it will directly say on and off? Guess I should’ve mentioned earlier.
I just want the device name to just say Switch and get rid of all the turning on and turning off stuff.
Yes, you would need to create a new device handler, Edit the default handler and in the code where you see the status “turning on”, change the verbiage. You might have to change the color codes also.
