Gocontrol WD500Z5-1 as Central scene controller

The smartthings hub itself doesn’t have anything in particular to handle Z wave central scenes, but there are many devices which use them which are being used with SmartThings. :sunglasses:

Basically the device type handler for the device has to be written so that the central scene numbers are sent to the hub as the equivalent of individual button presses, and then the device can be treated like what smartthings calls a “button controller.” This allows it to be used with the built in automation features or with webcore.

For example, there are many community members using the homeseer switches which allow for double tap and triple tap functionality through central scene commands.

There are also a number of battery operated devices which use central scene commands in a similar fashion, including the Aeotec Wallmote.

So it can definitely be done, but it may require custom code.
