Thanks you’re right. It’s the Dragon Tech that look identical that apparently don’t have instant status. I have heard of users complaining about the Homeseer manual response time vs other switches (not the status to ST). Figure it must be the triple tap.

Following the HOMESEER items, has anyone tried yet the HomeSeer Open/Close sensor HS-DS100+?
Just a side note. They are tripping for a reason… You should be plugging those high amperage space heaters in a 20amp dedicated circuit per heater. The typical wall outlet is only non-dedicated 15amp circuits.

Are the Z-wave products switches the same as the Dragontech & Homeseer? It was mentioned earlier in this thread that zwaveproducts.com was selling dragontech switches with updated firmware supporting the same scene features. All i see are self branded switches that appear to be the same as the dragontech/homeseer switches, but at a better price:

Thanks!
Based on the FCC ID in the manual for the Z wave products.com branded switch, they are just rebranding the DragonTech switch.
I didn’t see anything that specified the firmware level, though.

…sorry, I had filtered the list to their self-branded switches, but it didn’t carry over in the link. It looks like they do still carry the dragontech auxiliary switch, and it is slightly better priced than their self branded ones.

Yeah, I realized that after I did my first post. I’ve now updated my post Above with an answer specific to that model. 
anyone tried the HomeSeer HS-DS100+ with smartthing v2 hub?
Hey guys, looking to get this switch. Just had a few questions.
I currently have the GE Z-Wave switch which supports the double tap on and off features using association group 3. The DH U use also adds the hub as one of the nodes so the basic set commands also get sent to the hub. I like that the double tap on and off control the associated switches directly as there’s no hub online processing.
With the Homeseer, my understanding is that it uses the central scene command which sends a scene activation command to the hub. Is it possible to associate specific switches and have this scene activation command also sent to them to avoid having to go through ST processing? I know a bunch of other switches including the GE support scene activation command classes so wondering if it’s possible for the Homeseer to communicate directly with certain switches without going through the hub.
Thanks
Hello All,
I am semi-new to the smart home scene. I currently have a Homeseer system which I find super complex so I purchased an ST hub instead for simplicity, but though it is fairly simple, I am new to the whole “custom” stuff.
I have the HomeSeer dimmers in each room of the house and want to configure it with the ST hub. I know that there is a Darwin script available which I’ve already added as a device handler, then went into My Devices and changed the device handler to the handler I added from Darwin for one of the dimmer switches.
I cannot seem to get the double tap and triple tap to work. Not sure if I am doing anything wrong, but non of the buttons work within the device handler with the exception of pressing the ON/OFF for the light.
How does the association work? Is it only a double tap? Is it changeable so it could be single, double or triple tap?
Are you using a SmartApp like Advanced Button Controller? As far as I know, that is the only way to utilize the double and triple taps.
I am actually using the Darwin one, not ABC. I tried to load ABC but it did not work because when I tried to associate the Device Handler ABC with the Homeseer switch, it kept reverting back to the one I had before which is the Darwin one. So not sure what I am doing wrong.
Also, the dimmers dim very slow and turn on very slow as well 
I think there might be some confusion. A smart app and a device handler are two completely different things. You need the device handler by Darwin, but you need the ABC smart app to add functionality of the double and triple taps. If you are in your IDE, these are 2 separate areas/pages.
Also, you can adjust the dim ramp rate once you have the device handler installed–tap the gear icon when you are in the device’s page in the ST app on your phone or tablet.
Great. Thank you. I installed the ABC as a Smart App and now it works. Need to figure out how to use it though. But as for the Ramp Time, do I adjust it in DARWIN or ABC?
I’ve attempted to do so in Darwin, but thought it became a bit faster, it is still slow compared to adjusting the ramp time in HomeSeer once the switch is paired (included) into that system instead.
Go to the “thing” in ST in the “my home” page and go into the configuration/settings (look for the gear icon in the top right) of the switch.
Sorry about the delay. The association works for both single tap and double tap. The idea is that a basicSet command is sent to devices in the AssociationGroup2 when a single tap is applied and a basicSet command is sent to devices in AssociationGroup3 when there’s a double tap.
Also, the ST hub is part of the AssociationGroups so it always receives a basicSet command.
This is a old thread and I really don’t want to read the whole thing, does smarthings have a native device handler now?
i’m guessing not, so i’ve installed darwins device handler: HomeSeer HS-WD100+ and more (Simple DTH in post 27, advanced feature DTH in post 32)
which works. double tap and tripple tap register for the device in the ipad app.
i installed ABC app: [BETA] Advanced Button Controller (ABC) but when i hit “New Button Device Mapping” the app appears to lock up, the spinning wheel doesn’t go away!
any ideas??
ok i think i’ve figured this out, on the first mapping there is a line above new button device mapping, hit that and create your first mapping and your good…
I’m using the dragon tech switches…
Scene control works on traveler switch also GE traveler switch works with dragon tech switch.
Only draw back on dragon tech switches is led is white, not blue.
Hi guys,
I somehow mucked things up and I cant seem to find the fix. Everything was working fine until I tried to make some updates.
What I had:
HS-WD100+ running FW 5.14 using the DH “Darwinsden : WD100+ Dimmer” with Button Controller Plus.
Double and triple taps registered in the smartapp and things were great.
Then I heard that I could add buttons 7 & 8 and I went on a mission to update (read: break) stuff.
What I did:
Installed the ABC smartapp, updated the DH to pull the latest WD100+ Dimmer from GitHub, and then updated the switch firmware (using the HomeSeer Smartstick+) to 5.19.
Whats happening now:
Physical single tap to upper/lower paddles turns lights on/off and I can control the switch from the iOS app or smartapps, but double/triple taps dont register anywhere (Livelog on IDE or events in the Recently tab of the iOS app) and ABC or Button Control Plus smartapps are not responding to taps from the switch.
Anyone have any ideas of what I did wrong or how I should go about trying to troubleshoot?
(Thanks in advance…the ST community is the best)
