@nayelyz I have a question which it feels like I should know the answer to, but I don’t. :thinking: For many years, people have been able to make some hub connected devices work by assigning an existing DTH from a completely different brand. For example, there are quite a few Motion Sensors that …

The engineering team mentioned Edge drivers don’t have similar functionality to add devices as “Thing” so we can change the driver for another one. For now, the drivers must include a generic fingerprint to catch all those that might be compatible, however, there’s no specific documentation about t…

I read that as a long way to say “gee, we never thought of that use case”

Edge drivers are still in the Beta phase and the engineering team keeps working to improve this new feature. Sorry if I wasn’t clear before, the team is aware of this kind of use case, the previous comment is a workaround. We appreciate any feedback you all can provide.

@JDRoberts It’s “device handler” written in Groovy

I am having same problem with a Remotec ZXT-600 AC Remote. It keeps using Z-Wave Thermostat as device type and there is no way to change it to use Hub installed Edge Driver.

[image] chrismoore68: It keeps using Z-Wave Thermostat as device type and there is no way to change it to use Hub installed Edge Driver. By “device type”, are you referring to the value that you see in the IDE (please, see the pic below)? [image] [image] chrismoore68: Hub installed Edg…
