Multiple Child version of Vision In Wall Z-Wave Micro Switch, 2 relay/ZWN-RSM2

I was having trouble with reliability of the commonly used device type for this relay and the virtual switch binder:

ZWN-RSM2 Create a new device type Devices & Integrations

I purchased a ZWN-RSM2 with the hopes on using it in locations that only have 1 hot wire in the ceiling where I’m trying to control fan and light independently. I’m only concerned with on/off on each load as that is the best I’ll get with device types available currently. Without spending over $200 per location. (total of 7 locations) I have been struggling for a few days looking at code searching, reading learning but I just don’t know how to get started. I was able to get this device hooked up correctly (I have it in the fan canopy rather than the switch) I can toggle load 1 via app and via manually trigger at the device, I cannot toggle load 2 via the ST app because there is no device type to handle the request. I can toggle it via the device itself. I need help on where to start cr…

Since it’s a pretty simple project, I decided to get my feet wet with programming in SmartThings and reinvent that wheel and get a handler that works exactly how I want in the process. Take it for what it is: a dip in the shallow end. It seems to work reliably though and gives some nice control over the relay.

Most cues were taken from the simulated refrigerator and the z-wave samples in the docs. Hopefully nothing is too far off of good.

I’m not sure how to get this to automatically associate with newly found devices or how to test that.

Feedback appreciated.

In case it helps anyone with their projects, I made this simulated power strip first to make sure things were going right. It’s not perfect but might be a useful starting point.
