using these drivers, i´ve added one ikea switch and one dimmer. The child devices in both instances are only named “button X” and when trying to use apps like Webcore or ABC to functions like increase brightness it doesnt seem to work since each child device is now viewed as its own device. so when adding devices to these apps they dont show up as just “kitchen remote” but it says “buttone 0, button 0, button 1, button 1” etc.
i understand that both ABC and wecbore are separatly programmed apps and Edge is a new thing, but is there a known workaround? the bulbs im trying to control are connected via Hue hub.
The latest updates of the default Beta Edge libraries no longer require the additional code that was in the Zigbee Multi Switch Zemismart Mc driver.
This code allowed updating the App status of the secondary switches, when On and Off were pressed on the physical switch of the multiple plugs strips.
I’ve tried my three plug strip and it works the same with one than with another driver.
If anyone detects that this does not work, please tell me
So:
I have added all the fingerprints of the Zigbee Multi Switch Zemismart Mc driver to the Zigbee Multi Switch Mc driver
From now on I will only add new devices to the Zigbee Multi Switch Mc driver
I will keep the Zigbee Multi Switch Zemismart Mc driver for a reasonable time and when no one misses it I will delete it
All Zigbee Multi Switch Zemismart Mc driver users will be able to switch to Zigbee Multi Switch Mc driver whenever they want or they can use it as long as they don’t uninstall it from their Hub

(NEW RELEASE) Version 6 of the Edge Beta Driver: Zigbee Switch Mc
Improvements:
To improve the functions of Timer, which cannot be easily done with the app, I have changed the Random Off-On function to a Timer Mode function, which has the options:
Inactive: Disables the timer and turns off the device, starting to function as a manual switch
Random: Alternate on and off randomly, between the maximum and minimum times chosen in Preferences
Program: Turn on and off with fixed times for On and Off chosen in Preferences
As the driver has a new Capabilities, profiles and changes in preferences the update will not be done automatically .
To facilitate the update, I am going to change driver version 5.5 to the name Zigbee SwitchMc-(OLD).
I will publish the new version 6 with the original name Zigbee Switch Mc
In this way, your driver installed will renamed with (OLD), indicating that there is a new version available and you can install the new version with a driver change whenever you want.

This is very impressive. I continue to be amazed by what you, @TAustin , and others have been able to accomplish with Edge Drivers. Really nice work.
While obviously not quite as flexible as automations, it seems to me that this kind of approach is very much like what a typical programmable switch offers with firmware parameter settings. Not all users will understand what they’re being offered here, but power users should find it very helpful.
In my humble opinion, I’m not a developer, and
As @TAustin said a few months ago, Edge drivers now give a lot of flexibility and freedom to write code and implement very diverse functions.
The edge default libraries make it very easy to implement the stock capabilities, in many cases there is no code to write, everything is done. At least in zigbee and zwave, for LAN I have no idea.
The smartthings open source stock drivers and stock libraries on GitHub are an impressive help to any developer or manufacturer who wants to improve, adapt or include new devices in any existing driver and make their own version.
Once do some custom capabilities and vid presentations, they are easy to manage and integrate into the driver.
The API rules, I don’t quite understand them, I think that this route is not going to be the definitive one, they are very complicated and it will be limited to few users if it is not simplified.
There are many things to improve, like multi-component devices, but it’s hopeful even if it seems slower than expected, I think.
(NEW RELEASE) Version 4 of the Edge Beta Driver: Zigbee Switch Power Mc
Improvements:
Same as Zigbbe Switch Mc, To improve the functions of Timer, which cannot be easily done with the app, I have changed the Random Off-On function to a Timer Mode function, which has the options:
Inactive: Disables the timer and turns off the device, starting to function as a manual switch
Random: Alternate on and off randomly, between the maximum and minimum times chosen in Preferences

As the driver has a new Capabilities and changes in preferences the update will not be done automatically .
To facilitate the update, I am going to change driver version 3 to the name Zigbee Switch Power Mc-(OLD).
I will publish the new version 4 with the original name Zigbee Switch Power Mc
In this way, your driver installed will renamed with (OLD), indicating that there is a new version available and you can install the new version with a driver change whenever you want.
