Dual Switch Solution

[JDRoberts]

The Leviton vrcs2 is a two button scene controller that’s perfect for this except that, like most multi devices, it’s a bear to pair with SmartThings. But some people have done it.

[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:

And another similar topic. This may not be worth all the work it takes to get it right, but it worth knowing about:

I just bought this Z-Wave 2-Button Controller/Switch and was able to successfully pair it with my SmartThings hub. However, this is about the extent of what I can do with it. It shows up in ST as a remote but I can’t do anything with it. How would I properly set this up so that I can control the two lights attached to it using the ST app as well as the physical buttons on the device?

Of course you might not like the form factor, it’s different than what you have:
