So what will be the alternative?
Need a way to toggle a smart switch when double tapping up on a homeseer wd100 dimmer.
Please advise
You can do it with regular automations. I have a WD100 doing it. The only obstacle is getting an Edge driver that will be suited for the “double” tap, etc. of the switch. I haven’t seen that, yet.
My biggest loss when ABC goes away will be the ability to brighten/dim a light by steps each time a button is pressed. I’m astonished this isn’t a native capability in ST. Any ideas on how to achieve this in the post-SmartApp world?

This is possible with edge drivers, even to adjust white temperature. This are just two examples one for dimming and one for changing White Temperature. It’s being around for a year.

Interesting. I have a couple of Aeotec Nano Dimmers, connected with the official Aeotec Edge drivers, and I don’t have that option.
That’s the function of the non official zigbee light drivers. Official drivers have only basic functions

That’s interesting to know. You’d think the official drivers form the manufacturer would include all the functions.
As to your custom drivers, thank you for all your work and support for the community. Unfortunately for me the Aeotec dimmers are Z-Wave not Zigbee 
The dimming steps are being faciltated by the Edge driver for the Zigbee bulbs, not the dimmer.
Hello all,
New here but I’m having the same issues as above. Would like to use Tradfri dimmer to dim lights with increments. Preferably by holding down the button. Now as the Advanced Button Controller doesn’t work anymore I came to this thread. But the whole Edge drivers installation is a little above my experience.
I have the following bulbs:
Data * application: 51
- endpointId: 01
- firmwareFullVersion: 00000051

Which I don’t see in the Beta Edge Driver Zigbee Light Multifunction Mc fingerprints.
Is this possible for me to get working without developing experience?
Thank you for any reply.
I have an app that connects my outside light sensor to indoor dimmers… Is there a functionality like this in the EDGE drivers?
any idea what will happen to abc when smart apps go away?
It dies, along with all custom Groovy smartapps. 
no plans for some custom edge based solution?
Edge is to replace Device Type Handlers. Not Smartapps. ABC is a custom smartapp. It dies.
Some similar functionality can be added on a device by device basis, and some custom edge drivers are doing that. Things like cycling through multiple dim levels. But there’s no universal solution. The main thing to understand is that while we as customers are allowed to run custom edge drivers on our own hub, we are not allowed to run custom smart apps there. That means you have to use a hosting service or a local server, which is way more work.
So you would need to look at the custom edge drivers available for the specific device you want to control and see what features they offer.
You can find those by checking the quick browse lists in the community-created wiki.
As far as new ways to create rules that aren’t custom smartapps, see the following thread:
Is there something that you’re doing with ABC that SmartLighting can’t do? SmartLighting will handle button events, and it is not going away. It is being re-written, and the presumption at this point is that it will reincarnate with the same capabilities.

What’s smart lighting? It’s the ikea styrbar remorse and aqara cube that I’m using abc for.
What country are you in?
SmartLighting is a feature in the SmartThings app, but it is not available in all countries.
I’m in uk…
Can you explain where to look to get an understanding of how to install or otherwise use such an “Edge driver”? Are the screenshots of the smartthings app? How did you install the “Zooz ZEN32 Scene Controller” and it that an edge driver? So many questions.
Start with this, it should help.
