Apologies for the late response. Thank you for explaining how you’re doing the switch, it sounds very neat. Can you explain what you mean by the “built-in” routines, do you mean the app? If that’s the case I have some learning to do but I’m also OK with that …

I probably need to get a better understanding also of the the switch modes (I have some GE and Inovelli switches).

Yes, the Smartthings app routines are what I’m using.

For the GE Switches, these are the operating modes:

Vacancy

The switch will NOT turn on automatically, but will turn off automatically based on the motion parameters you have set up.

Occupancy

The switch will turn on and off automatically based on the motion parameters you have set up.

Manual
The switch will not turn on or off automatically.

Here are the routines I’m using:

For my GE motion/dimmer switches, I’m using this Edge driver [ST Edge] Driver for GE/Jasco Z-Wave Motion Switches and Dimmers - 24770, 26931, 26932, 26933 and for the virtual switch, I’m using [ST Edge] vEdge Creator: a virtual device generator for end users
