Need help switching driver for new Jasco (embrighten) to fan (from switch)

Devices & Integrations

This is my 3rd zwave fan switch from the same brand, though probably older models. This one is:

Enbrighten Z-Wave Plus Fan Control, Works with Alexa, Google Assistant, 3-Way Compatible, ZWave Hub Required, Repeater/Range Extender, Smart Ceiling Fan Control, Smart Switch, White & Almond, 14314

There’s a new one, I know. But if you look carefully at the new ones, the white paddles now have a blue tint, and so I went with the old that matches the other Jasco dimmer beside, and the faceplate. This model has no QR code.

I haven’t added a fan “dimmer” in many many years, but I remember these were always troublesome. I’ve added it, excluded, added it again, but keep getting the same results: it comes up as a Z Wave Switch. If I go into select a different driver, it says No results found. My other fan dimmers come up with the driver “Z Wave Fan”.

What do I need to do to get this to use the right driver?

Thank you!

Here’s the difference in color, subtle, but obvious when next to others, and hard to miss once you no it. New, bluer one is on the left, old color which I desire on the right

(Side note: are the faceplates interchangeable, yes. Though the air gap pull tab is slightly longer in the new ones too, so if I swap out, I must use the bluer air gap pull tab with the older, correct colored paddle.)

Ok, I’ve excluded and re-added this switch every which way with same results. It is always showing as a dimmer. On the Android App, or in the Advanced website, I cannot change the driver. However, the Zwave Fan driver shows on my other like switches. Just for this new one, I have no option to change it. I’ve tried adding the device again by searching for Zwave Fan (GE) and it still comes up as a dimmer.

What am I doing wrong?

model sticker on it is 2149B, model in ST Advanced website is 4944-3138

Can you please post some screenshots from the AWA?

Screenshots from the working device and the one that shows up as a Z-Wave switch.

Do you have this driver installed?

It has the necessary fingerprint for your device.

I have now tried it and it does seem to work… thanks.

The question now is, why can I not get it to register in the same way as the other, with the built in zwave fan driver? I cannot even change the driver to it, let alone get itto register that way upon setup. I notice the manufacturer name is ST Edge on the good one. Is this something ST service can force over? (But, there is no way for me to do it?)

Can i load the zwave fan driver in via some driver channel perhaps?

Because the stock driver doesn’t know about your model, so you have to use a custom driver.

You can mark my previous comment as solution.

Thank you. Do you think it possible to get ST to add the model to their stock driver?

It depends on whether there are significant differences between the models and how the fingerprint of the older model got into the driver (WWST).

You could perhaps provide feedback within the app (“Please add model number to the Z-Wave fan driver”) and wait for the response.

Otherwise it is a somewhat more complex process (pull request/issue against the repository)…

Thanks. I submitted an error report, let’s see what happens.

FYI: I uninstalled the device physically, wired in the newer bluer white paddle Zwave 700 version, and that one has the same problem, but worse, is also not recognized by the philh30 driver either. It’s stuck as a dimmer. I removed it, wired back in the one I’ve been using. At least it works with the philh30 driver.

Phil hasn’t done any work on his drivers in several years and doesn’t support newer devices. @csstup took up support for Phil’s drivers and consolidated all the GE/Jasco into a single driver. You should install his Z-Wave Switch CS driver from his channel here. If your device’s fingerprint is not supported in his driver, post a request here.

EDIT:

If your device fingerprint is this:

  • id: “0063/4944/3138”
    deviceLabel: GE Fan 14314
    manufacturerId: 0x0063
    productType: 0x4944
    productId: 0x3138

Corey’s driver will support it with these capabilities:
