I installed the handler and also linked to smartthings. However the switch seems to not respond most of the time. If it respond it does it with huge delay.
The switch itself seems to report the way back to smartthings bettee.
Am I missing something or just recreived a bad product?
First of all, many thanks for the handler code. Itās been very useful.
I want to link two four-channel switches so that they control the same 4 set of lights for which Iām using the Smart Lighting app.
However, there is a massive delay between one switch being physically turned on and the status on the app changing accordingly. I manage to reduce it to one minute by adjusting the Check In interval on the app, but one minute is still to high.
Is there a way to reduce the check in time to <1 sec, or is there a more elegant solution where the switch updates on real-time its status on SmartThings?
Hi, I tried but it didnāt work. In the end I associated the two switches directly by adding the nodes and endpoints of one switch to the other, on top of the association with the hub. Took me a while, but now they are connected real time, independently of the hub and they synchronize with the hub too, so happy ending!
Firstly, many thanks to everyone on this community, especially @JDRoberts who has been very patient to everyone. And to @hongtat for the MCO device handler and @zcapr17 for the Zwave Tweaker.
Iāve gotten two single gang MCO switches (non-Gen 5 versions) for a two-way application (staircase lights), and I thought with all the help here, I wouldnāt have too much problem setting up associations in Group 1 of both switches.
Iāve used the Zwave Tweaker to set up the said associations, and it works like a charm as long as Iām using the Zwave Tweaker as a DTH. Manually switching on/off either MCO switch would almost instantaneously turn on/off the other switch. Perfect.
But then, when I changed the DTH back to @hongtat 's handler for the MCO switches, the association is then broken. Neither switch turns on each other.
Could anyone here give any pointers what the problem might be, and how I might go about trying to solve it? Could it be that these switches are non-zwave plus, and that they use Association Group 1 to send Binary Switch Set commands to other nodes, instead of Group 2?
I know @Sebastian_Iaconis in this thread managed to associate two MCO switches together⦠any advice how I could get this to work?
Yes. The association group in MCO is working but this DH doesnāt support it yet as it resets the configuration.
To have it work, comment out the zwave.multiChannelAssociationV2 and zwave.associationV2 in the createChildDevices() function, then use Zwave Tweaker to fill in the right associations.
Thanks @benerkens, I appreciate the help. However, Hongtat helped me solve the problem with associations already, and I just tested it out with two MCO Gen 5 Single gang switches, and it works PERFECTLY!
Thanks a million to Hongtatā¦
I can also confirm, based on my very limited knowledge and efforts, that the same setup CANNOT be done with the Neo Coolcam single gang switches. I think it has something to do with Neo Coolcam switches sending out the SWITCH BINARY REPORT command to the associated group members, instead of the SWITCH BINARY SET command that MCO switches send out.
The most awesome advantage of using direct association vs creating a Smart App for my required purpose (staircase lights), is that the response is almost instantaneous.
I did some experimenting with the Neo CoolCam wall switches at my place, donāt have the staircase setup like you, but with the Smart Lighting a lot of Automation (solutions) is possible.
