Hi, I just received my smartthings 2nd gen hub and trying to add Things to it. It found my motion detector and the multipurpose sensor but how do I get it to find my HomeSeer HS-WD100+ Dimmer? When I go to add things, Lights & Switches, Switches & Dimmers I do not see HomeSeer in the list. Is there another way to make my dimmer visible to SmartThings?
I only have the dimmer. Is it necessary to have some sort of HomeSeer hub as well?
Just go into the generic āStart looking for thingsā button in the Marketplace and turn on/off the switch. SmartThings should be able to find it as a generic Z-Wave device.
I am having the same problem here. I just purchased one of the new SmartThings 2018 Hubs (v3) and itās unable to detect my HomeSeer WD100+ Dimmer.
Iām not sure the advice from @blebson is still relevant ā I am not able to find any āStart looking for thingsā button, or even the āMarketplaceā for that matter. I have already tried doing the manual reset on the HomeSeer switch (on // 3 up // 3 down // off) but that hasnāt worked. Iāve also added the WD100+ Device Handler (the one by DarwinsDen) to my web console.
From what I can tell, the latest version of the App doesnāt really have a button to force it to look for generic devices. When I go to āAdd a Deviceā it spins and says itās looking for devices, but the green light on the front of my Hub v3 doesnāt blink like when Iāve selected a specific device to look for. Further, because I canāt select to ālook for a HomeSeer Dimmerā I canāt get it to blink/attempt to look.
Iām feeling like Iām going crazy here ā these are the first dimmers Iāve found that donāt make my lights flicker, and now I canāt get them paired with my Hub!! Is this an issue with the Hub v3? Latest version of the App? any help would be greatly appreciatedā¦
Just figured this out, I needed to do a reset. The reset instructions are a little vague, they donāt really tell you how quickly you need to complete the procedure! You need to do the 3 up taps and 3 down taps in <1 second - so as fast as you can. Using 2 hands helps.
