Works like a charm, thanks! I figured out the button numbers in the SmartLighting app:
Button 1: Double Tap up
Button 2: Double Tap down
Button 3: Triple Tap up
Button 4: Triple Tap down
Button 5: Hold up (same as making dimmer brighter)
Button 6: Hold down (same as making dimmer darker)
Button 7: Single Tap up (same as turning dimmer to previous brightness)
Button 8: Single Tap down (same as turning off lights)
I added the above DH for WD100 dimmer switch. The On / Off / Dim functions work as needed, but I cannot get the Double and Triple taps to work.
I have a dimmer switch in the kitchen. I want to have it so that when I double tap UP, it turns on another zwave device for undercabinet lighting and then double tap DOWN to turn it off.
I cannot get this to work. I’ve tried ABC smart app and when I go there, it says that there are no devices that can be used to do this. When I try to go do this via the Smart Lighting app to try to do it through there, I see both switches, but no functions for double tap at all…

Removed the switch from ST by unpairing it (was not able to reset the switch with triple tap up and down)
Removed the old DH for the WD100 dimmer
Readded the DH for the WD100 dimmer from a few posted above this one, and published it
Re-praired the WD100 dimmer in ST
Added the ABC app and published it
Added the ABC child creator app, but did not publish it
Went to Automation > scrolled down to ABC and tried to add a device to it, but says No devices found
I am stuck and cannot figure this out for the life of me.
On the old ST Classic, it used to work without a hitch, but now with the new version, it does not work.
Note: I did not use ST and the dimmers for about 2-3 years as I was in the process of moving cross country and now reconnected everything and it does not work with the new ST for double/triple tap functions anymore
Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I would loveeee some help please.
I wanted to provide a bit of a recap in this thread for those who might come along a bit later. I have had a pretty stable environment with multiple HomeSeer dimmer (WD100/100+/200+ and WS100/200/300). I had a switch fail in the last 6mo (power failure) and after replacing I had noticed that some of the “double click” rules were not behaving, however, this was a low volume action and had not taken the time to look into it.
Recently, I had attempted to introduce additional rules via ABC - Advanced Button Controller (@Paul_Sheldon) and was struggling with creating a new automation as the dimmer was only returning a single “button”.
I understand the Smart Lighting App is set to go away as part of the shift away from Groovy, but I am not currently aware of an alternative (will dig around to find out the proper solution) so here I am today.
In any case, you can emulate the ABC - Advanced Button Controller functionality with the new device handler (>= 1.08) by creating a Smart Lighting automation which is associated with:
Just wanted to say thanks for this!
I tried routines in the past but they were missing the features of getting the double and tripple tap actions i think. Just tried this again and it is now there, and more importantly, it works better than SmartLighting by almost eliminating the delay and instability.
So if routines continue to work, smart lighting will go away (which i am fine with now that I got routines working), what about the device handler for the WD100 dimmer switches. Will the DHs go away too, or only the custom apps will be making their departure?
I’d love for someone to correct me but… it looks like the device handlers will go away and any double/triple tap functionality will disappear along with it.
Like I said, someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but looks like Homeseer switches basically become generic z-wave switches after October 15th (no double/triple taps, no fancy LED magic).
All custom device type handlers written in groovy, including this one, also go away. So someone will have to make an edge driver for this device instead to keep the advanced functionality. The first thing to do would be to contact Homeseer and see if they have any plans in the works. Otherwise it will be up to a community developer.
You can find existing custom edge drivers by looking at the quick browse lists in the community – created wiki.
It has been years since I’ve done anything with Smartthings other than set a status as Home or Away, not because of lack of use or interest, but because everything has just worked perfectly. These light switches and the double tap/triple tap functionality of them completely changed how we operate the lights around our house, our bed time routine, and more. My kids don’t even have memories of having to walk to two sides of the room to turn on the overhead lights because the light switch placement in the house is terrible. They have never had to walk across a dark room at night with Legos on the floor because the light switch in the room isn’t by the entrance/exit. I was devastated by the news of these handlers coming to an end. It feels a bit ridiculous and very first world problems, but the functionality of them has been so fully incorporated into our lives. It’s as if you told me our doors will stop working next month and we have to start using windows to enter the house - I can do it, but it is going to be very annoying.
Other users have reported being told by Homeseer support that edge drivers are in the works for at least the 200 and 300 series devices. But no timeline has been given yet.
@JDRoberts this is extremely upsetting My entire home is full of WD100+ / WS100+ and I use the double/triple tap features of this Handler aggressively for dimming (e.g. “Double-tap down to set to 15%”)
From what you’ve said above, it sounds like the WD100+ will not be supported? only newer switches?
Anyone from the community currently thinking of creating a new handler for these older models?
As I mentioned above, Homeseer support has said their engineers are working on Edge Drivers for the 200 series, but that’s all I know. I haven’t heard anything about the older devices. You can ask in their forum:
