Ya I wish I knew what a good switch to transmit double taps was

The Leviton VRMX1 reports very fast, even with quick successive taps. So an app could use those for double tap with parameters, as has been done.

updated Spring 2016

Regarding the best switches for double tapā€¦ Double tap has been pretty unreliable because of issues with lag going to the cloud making it very difficult to precisely time the double taps. Youā€™ll see this discussed in the forum on those app threads.

Fortunately for those who have not yet bought switches but want this functionality, Homeseer recently came out with a new line of simple Z wave switches which support both double and triple tap functionality using the Z wave ā€œcentral scene commandā€ Commandset where the switch sends a different specific code to the hub depending on the touch pattern. This is much more reliable when a cloud is involved as with smartThings. :sunglasses:
