I was having the same issue. Switching to the Z-Wave Motion Light and back is what fixed it for me. Weird but very happy to have it working finally!
sorry, just now seeing this - thank you. I just now need to learn how to use/write webcore 
- I’m a dev so hoepfully it won’t be to difficult. thanks again.
Hi Michael -
Don’t know if you’ve seen the announcements about Edge for Devices and Automations beta. This is the replacement for DTH.
yeah…I got an e-mail from them this morning…I am still digesting this. I have done little to no programming over the past year so I will see if this is a viable solution for my use case.
As near as I can tell, this is still API driven and not a repurposed place to put groovy code. As such, it sounds like (initially) we may not be able access the occupancy modes.
Wonder if this gives us some hope?
And there is a proposed capability called “mode”.
We may not need to with them moving to localized automations. When I moved to Hubitat, I tested the built-in occupancy vs. using the hub’s automations to read the motion sensor and trigger lights and I couldn’t tell the difference in speed. This was definitely not the case when I was on Smartthings. For simplification I programmed my automations with the switches in manual mode and allowed the hub to control the logic.
I get that…but I want to get away from automations as the switch handles it natively. Since I am no longer programming, I am open from someone to work with me to convert this to API.
I’m sorry if this has been discussed and solved, but I have tried to toggle the device type in IDE to other types and back to Zwave Motion Light. I still don’t see any motion detection activity for this decice in the SmartThings app. Does yours still say execution is in the cloud or did you manage to change it to local? Any help would be appreciated.
The app is sometimes slow to respond, but if you just setup the device and it doesn’t work, you need to go into the settings of the device, and then turn on the motion detection…even if it shows that it is currently on. Toggling that setting should actually set it. This is an issue from SmartThings and cannot be helped with the current interface language.
But where exactly? I’ve been inside the app and IDE and there aren’t settings for these things. My multi sensors have temp offsets. My plain z-wave light switches and outlets have LED indicator settings. But my z- wave locks and this new z-wave motion switch don’t have any settings menus. IDE doesn’t offer anything besides changing the Device Type and that doesn’t seem to do anything helpful. I choose z-wave multifuncional and it basically set the motion sensor to constantly active.
It sounds like you just discovered the device. There are a few more steps. I recommend reading the first post in this document for the directions, but the summary is:
Publish the device driver
Discover the device
In the IDE, change the device type to the device driver that you published
The mobile app (or even in the IDE) should show the settings
Let me know if that helps.
I’m the worst kind of consumer; the pro-sumer. I know enough to try everything but not enough so that it only works half the time. I found the CDH installed it and all is well for this device. I just don’t understand why the built-in device handlers don’t work. And I don’t see anything about what will happen with Hoobs or Homebridge integrations once SmartThings Edge goes live.
You can think of the devices in your house as ‘generic’. Many times, the SmartThings device handlers are just ‘generic’. The GE devices, however, are multifunction. And since there are so many out there, SmartThings can’t write drivers for all of them. Enter the programmers/developers that fill that gap. I wrote the GE driver years ago to fill that need as I have these in my house.
I am getting errors with the dimmer switch and it doesn’t seem to work for me. I think the only thing it does is turn on when I command it right now… I’ve played with the settings with no joy. I have the ZW3008 jasco switch which I understand to be the equivalent of 26933. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Has it ever worked and it just stopped? Or has it never worked. If the device doesn’t have the same ‘fingerprint’ as the DTH, then it may not work.
Are you saying that using the app when you press the on button it comes on but when pressing the off button it doesn’t? Have you tried a generic driver to ensure that it works with simple ZWave commands (which is what my DTH gives)?
Hi Michael, on the generic Multichannel Device it works fine (power on, off with app, smart apps, auto motion sensor, etc). On this driver it doesn’t auto turn on with motion, it times out when trying to power off, and the logic from the DTH settings don’t seem to work (I tried different settings), yet I could still power it on via the app after setting the device type to this one. I had to forget and re-pair it to regain the basic functionality.
It not turning on via motion probably means it is in vacant or manual mode, or the motion detector is off. Regardless of what the settings say when you go into there, if you manually set BOTH of those items (occupied and motion on) it SHOULD work. However, with this NOT being the designated model number, nothing is guaranteed.
The powering off of the light is ALL controlled by the switch and its occupancy mode along with the timeout. Again, not 100% sure this is compatible, but assuming it is, the OFF will ONLY work when in Vacant or occupied mode. You CAN test this without SmarThings as there should be a small button on the switch to program it to the settings you want. If that does work but setting the settings with SmartThings doesn’t may indicate a compatibility issue.
All of the physical button on the switch worked. Not really sure where to go from here.
