Iāve just updated it to 1.6.1 - it may help - try factory reset and then reconfigure (I assume you put into inclusion mode before a configure right?)
Got it working finally!
New DH - didnāt work.
New config - didnāt work.
Removed device, factory reset, include device, config - all works now!
Thanks!
They have pretty much every possible type of face plate (glass / metal / plastic in loads of colours) and every type of rocker switch (single / double in every colour). However make sure that you only purchase rocker switches that are specifically designated for wireless control (I think that they call it free control) as other rocker switches will not fit.
Just use the device handler with either smartlighting or RuleMachine instead of the smartapp here. The only real advantage my smartapp has is regarding dimming while buttons are held down
Hey @AdamV, installed my first one of these today after you recommended them on the UK Forum. It works great, Iāve got one small feature request that I wondered if itās easy for you to add? The smartapp is really useful because I donāt have to have lots of rules in rule machine to control the one switch, I can do it all in the app you have written. However with some of the buttons I want them to be able to turn on or off a switch no matter if already on, rather than toggling it. Would it be possible to add this so a button press ensures on or off for a switch as an option alongside toggle?
Thanks for all the work on the handler and app so far!
Hi @steveburton4 - its not so hard to add that. The issue is that the number of options per button is already clogged up and messy, and Iād have to add a further two options per button (on and off) for switches onlyā¦ when you can already use rule machine to do this. I agree that itās nice to have it all in one place, but eventually to keep everyone happy Iād have to put every possible action per button - and again, you can already use rule machine to do this. In my house there are some buttons that I wanted to explicitly turn things on and off, so I use rule machine. Itās not so bad right!? Let me know if you absolutely must have it Iāll find some time this weekā¦ but consider this: I have over 20 of these switches in my house that I set up and for the times I needed an action not available in my smartapp, rather than go through the task of writing the code I just used rule machineā¦ and once set up, itās done.
P.S. If your switch is a light switch Iād recommend using SmartLighting insteadā¦ because that is the only app that is able to run locally, so if you use my device handler + smartlighting and all your devices are on your local network (zigbee or z-wave devices) then the commands will execute locally, with almost zero lag and even when your internet goes down. Thatās something both my smartapp and rule machine cannot do.
Haha, no itās not! I just end up with a really long list on rules to search through and maintain. I wonder if itās possible to group rules in rule machine - I donāt think the concept of folder exists in smartapps but Iām not sure, @bravenel might be able to answer that better?
Yeah I used to have all my light rules in Smart Lighting but when I started using rule machine I swapped everything over because I found it was far more reliable with scheduled actions. Iāve no idea why but that was definitely my experience. I hadnāt considered the running locally issue. It canāt be too long before rule machine gets approved for this, surely?!
I think what I should do in the meantime is move the rules back to Smart Lighting that require immediate processing - motion and switches. Scheduled events can stay in rule machine.
No, because the platform alphabetizes the list of Rules. But, you can have empty rules, that only have a name. Some some guys were making separators out of dummy rules. Another thing some guys have done is use a coding system for their rules, like āM-motion ruleā, etc. That keeps them organized. Names are just strings of characters, and can be pretty much anything.
Guess Iāll just by some of the dual button ones
