Vitrum / multichannel / z-wave UK. Any DTH for these?

I feel like I’m going round in circles when I’m not looking for anything conceptually complex.

I’d like:
A) to be able to set associations between multichannel switches using SmartThings (nice to have, but not imperative)
B) to be able to see within the SmartThings app which switches are on or off at any one time (remembering that these are switches on multichannel devices), irrespective of whether the switch’s status was changed by a smartapp, on my phone, or physically
C) be able to trigger individual switches on a multichannel device by a smartapp or scenes etc

It doesn’t seem like I’m asking for the world, but in some ways it seems like I am…!

Any thoughts?

As long as these are mains powered devices, not battery powered, You can set the associations by using the Z wave tweaker:

[OBSOLETE] Z-Wave Tweaker

z-wave Tweaker Version: 0.08 (2017-03-16) Source: https://github.com/codersaur/SmartThings/tree/master/devices/zwave-tweaker This is a device handler to assist with interrogating and tweaking Z-Wave devices. It’s designed for end-users who want to tweak their devices and for developers who want to quickly discover and report the functionality of new devices. It is intended to temporarily replace a device’s normal device handler. Key features in v0.08: Discover association groups, multi-channel endpoints, and configuration parameters. Configure association group members from the SmartThings GUI. Configure parameter values from the SmartThings GUI. Configure Protection and Switch_All modes from the SmartThings GUI. Discover supported meter/alarm/notification/sensor report types. Automa…

They are definitely nice looking switches. But they’re also older technology as far as zwave goes. They are using multi channel association, rather than the newer method of central scene management.

It should be possible to make it work with the SmartThings hub so that you do get all the updates regardless of the way in which the switch was turned on, but it may require some custom code.

Because these are only available on the EU frequency, the challenge will be finding somebody to help develop that custom code as they’re just aren’t as many developers working with the EU devices.

I’m going to move this to the UK section of the forum just to get more attention from that specific group, and that see if somebody has already looked into them.
