The End of Groovy Has Arrived

Besides my post above, which is not simply about the Philio Pan-08 sensors, but about ANY Zwave device which used to add with stock DTHs but the fingerprint of which is now NOT included in any of the new Edge drivers, I would like to add a further query.

  1. What if my device, which matches an exact fingerprint in one of the ST issued Edge drivers, does not work well? I have tested a Wyfy 4-gang switch and (for the first time) I see that there is an improvement, with the switch showing as only one device, but when I press the tile I get four switches inside. Indeed a massive improvement. However, the switches are marked as Main Switch, Switch 1, Switch 2 and Switch 3. Main Switch and Switch 1 are basically one and the same thing (button 1), Switch 2 is button 2, Switch 3 is button 3, and there simply is no way of controlling button 4. So, in cases like this, is it not reasonable to ask ST for support - and a fix? How do I go about this please?

  2. If I understand correctly, if I install ST-issued Edge drivers from the ongoing beta, which I am doing right now in order to test at least one of each type of device that I have, will those still work come 30th Sep? My understanding is yes, they will, but I see conflicting posts above and would love to have a clear, definitive answer. It would be really unfair for ST to punish those who are carrying out some degree of testing and preparation.

  3. What about any virtual devices that I have set up over the years (or several months really), using the Simulated stock devices I found in the IDE? Will those be ported over to equivalent virtual Edge devices? Does the same apply to devices I created using the vEdge Creator V2.5, which as I understand, is a Community created virtual device creator?

Would love for someone from ST to give me (us?) some answers and peace of mind in relation to the above. Perhaps @alissa.dornbos or @nayelyz, please?
