Toggle GE Z-Wave Switch On/Off/On Several Time to Control RGB Pool Lights?

[ST0341]

Good evening comminuty,

I have a GE Z-Wave Plus toggle switch(Not dimmer) working very well to control my color changing pool lights.
The lights have preset color modes that are cycled by quickly flipping the switch on/off/on. (On/Off/On =Blue, On/Off/On/Off/On=Red, etc)

I’m trying to figure out a way to automate this process and integrate into an app that will allow me to select a color and have the Z-Wave switch perform the on/off sequence for that color.

The folks over at Home Assistant are onto something as posted below.

Can you please guide me in the right direction? I’m currently using SmartThings only.

There are people who have done this exact same kind of project before for the same reason, to control color-changing pool lights, but rather than direct you to what was previously done, at this point by far the easiest way is just to do it with web core. The set up is a little complicated, but there are lots of community members who will be glad to help you.

FAQ: What is WebCoRE? (And what was CoRE?)

CoRE (now WebCore) is a very powerful community – created rules engine for SmartThings. It allows you to set up stacked conditionals like “If A then B but only while C and not if D.” Setting it up can be quite complex, but there are many community members who will be glad to help you. For example, here is a piston that one member created to notify him if the dog had already been fed twice that day and he picked up the dog bowl for a third time. He needed this because he has a large family and people didn’t always remember whose turn it was to feed the dog. :dog::blush: [image] The original version of CoRE Has now been replaced by a new version, WebCoRE, which moves the data entry to a web interface. This allows for flexibility and an architecture that requires more memory than is av…

I do appreciate the advice. I’ve been considering core since I started with ST. I think this will start my journey.

Have you been able to get your pool lights to work? I’m trying to do this too.
