Nice work!
BTW, If you want to add the other actions, such as double tap, you certainly can, there are a number of other devices that now support this. The remotec 8 button device allows for 24 different actions. There’s no longer any standard for how many buttons a device can have. You just have to include the “number of buttons” parameter and then smartapps like core and smart lighting will use it correctly.
If you’d like to see some examples, take a look at the homeseer switch (which allows for single, double, and triple tap both top and bottom) and the remotec.
So I’ve been keeping an eye out for HomeSeer’s homegrown light switches and dimmers for a while…they are finally in Z-Wave Smart Dimmers, Switches & Fan Controllers | HomeSeer
The are competitively priced and offer 2/3 tap scene control…now for my question:
There is this disclaimer at the bottom of the order page…(IMPORTANT: HS-WD100+ and HS-WS100 provide instant status feedback and double-tap, triple-tap, press & hold functionality using the Z-Wave “central scene” command class. The feature is supported by all HomeSeer systems, including HS3 software and HomeTroller controllers. If you’re using another brand of controller, be sure to check with that manufacturer to see if the central scene features are supported.)
I couldn’t find anything in the forums that said if ST was “central scen…
Remotec ZRC-90 Scene Master - Button Device Supporting 24 Unique Button Commands
This is a very small button device that has a contemporary look and is wall mountable. With the included mounting bracket you can pull it off of the wall and use it like a remote.

Button Commands:
Buttons on this device support 3 modes. Pressed, held, and double pressed. When using the device in SmartApps such as Rule Machine, you would use the functionality of button 1 - 8 like normal. Configure triggers on Button 1 pushed, and Button 1 held, etc. But then you can also configure buttons 9 - 16 in Rule Machine as follows:
Physical Button Double Pressed & Resulting Button Number
1 = 9
2 = 10
3 = 11
4 = 12
5 = 13
6 = 14
7 = 15
8 = 16

Multiple “held” events on botton…
Thanks. That information was really helpful.
I looked at the minimote device handler template and was able to update my hue dimmer controller to tell smart things it has 4 buttons.
The code I copied over was:
def installed() {
initialize()
}
def updated() {
initialize()
}
def initialize() {
sendEvent(name: “numberOfButtons”, value: 4)
}
