I ordered one of these, scheduled delivery is next Tuesday, the 22nd.
This will be my first device type that’s not virtual. I’m slowly figuring out Z-wave. @jody.albritton and @slagle might be hearing a lot from me with questions. I’ve printed like 10 pieces of paper with all kinds of info on them. Source code, Z-wave certifications, and the WA00Z-1 manual.
I’m designing this to be fully Compatible with all SmartApps that work with the Aeon Minimote. Looking like the top button will be button 1 and the bottom will be button 2.
My ultimate goal is to get something accomplished my the next dev. call.
Thanks @JDRoberts for the heads up. Between this and the osram dimmer switch I’m finally hopeful that I’ll be able to convince the wife that smart bulbs aren’t the worst idea ever. Now we just need a device type…
Does this still allow the original switch to stay in place or does it need to be removed? It is hard to tell by the pic but it looks like it wouldn’t have room for a switch behind it, unless it only works with newer Decora (paddle) switches and not the normal toggle switches.
The switch stays in the on (or off) position. No wiring needed, it fits over the switch. It works with a rocker & supposed to work with Decora switches as well.
Essentially an instant retrofit, just add smart bulbs, provides 2 buttons.
Ok, so it is essentially the same as the OSRAM switch I am working on except it is z-wave instead of zigbee and has a different look. I like the look of the OSRAM switch better but since I am unable to get it to work properly if you can get this working I may consider getting a couple.
It works as a button controller! Both buttons are independent (meaning there’s a button 1 for top and button 2 for bottom. It works with all SmartApps that work with the Aeon Minimote, tested with Smart Lighting. I just need to make it a bit better, then I’ll upload the code.
One thing that is hurting things a bit is the issues with the ST Platform. I do the best to test, but keep getting all kinds of errors on the app.
Here is a “Milestone 1” release of it. It is far from perfect (Device Fingerprint needs testing, code is messy), but it works! Button 1 maps to the top button and button 2 maps to the bottom. It should work with any Button Controller SmartApp, tested with Smart Lighting.
I could use some help perfecting this device type. Almost could consider terribly written.
New to this community and unfortunately have the Wink 2 hub but run into a similar problem with my philips hue lights and people turning them off manually. I read this thread and am excited about the GoControl cover. Is this still the best option? I see that the last post was a while ago and realize this market/industry is growing rapidly and want to get whats best. I have phillipe hue throughout my house and then in the bathrooms I do not and plan to add leviton smart switches.
There are several different options, depending on exactly what you want to accomplish. And the Sylvania smart switch cover, which is very similar to the one in this thread but looks a little different, has also become popular. See the following FAQ:
