GE/Jasco Smart Motion Dimmer Device Handler?

[etbrown (Eric Brown)]

I did a search of the community forum, but the results that I got didn’t point to what I was looking for.

@JDRoberts’s link was very helpful in narrowing the search to posts with device type handlers.

The device type handler I was looking for can be found here:

[OBSOLETE][[DEPRECIATED] Jasco/GE Motion Dimmer Switch 26933

This is for the dimmer version of the GE Motion switch 26933. The DTH for the motion on/off switch can be found here. This device handler supports all of the options of the switch with the exception of doubletap, which has yet to be implemented. Some examples of what you can do with this dimmer/switch include: Occupancy only during certain hours, vacancy mode other times. (in a bedroom, occupancy during the day, vacancy or manual mode at night) Turn on at a specific level during certain hours (In a bathroom, dim to 10% at night, otherwise 100%) No need for cloud processing smart apps. Use the device’s own motion sensor to turn on the light - or other zwave lights with association groups. Virtually no delay. Key features: Control Occupancy/Vacancy/Manual modes - Exposed to webCoRE/Co…

It would be nice if SmartThings had a clear or faster path for developers to get more of these DTH’s adopted by SmartThings so there was official support and devices could operate locally rather than through the cloud. Local device handling was the promise of the v2 Hub, but it seems to still be a dream at this point.

A separate post in the forums discusses the GE/Jasco Z-wave Smart Motion Dimmer (26933) device and the plans for an official DTH, but the threads are a real PITA for sift through to find links to the most current code.

We’re already talking internally about how to prioritize onboarding of these devices. They look awesome!
