Zwave Power Strip from AEON

I’m completely unable to get this to work whether I use the custom device type or not.

I’ve created 4 simulated switches called switch1 switch2 etc

I created the new aeon device using the posted code and that works although the interface is ugly.

I created the smartapp using the posted code and it compiles and creates allright.

When I finally go to add the smartapp to my aeon smart strip, I select the template aeon smart strip, then I select which outlets I want to use. I hit next and get a blank screen. If I hit next again, I get a red error at the top and can’t go further. “Error - bad state. Unable to complete page configuration”

The only way I can get the smart app to add is if I use the template but select no switches. But then that defeats the purpose of adding it. If I select any switch at all, I get the error hitting next.

All I want to do is control 2 of the outlets in my smart strip using echo or any aeon minimote. I would never in a million years have thought it would be so difficult and several hours of time wasted, trying to make something that should have been built in, work.

Any help would be much appreciated and sorry I’m so grumpy. I’m very frustrated right now.

UPDATE*

I finally found a smartthings app that works and lets me control the switches individually.

Most of the info in this thread is from before there was an official device for the Aeon Smart Strip so disregard it.

  1. Add and pair your Aeon Smart Strip to the hub just like any other Zwave device and use the default SmartThings device type. No need to make any custom devices or paste in any code.

  2. Create a new smartapp on the IDE site which is at https://graph.api.smartthings.com and past the code in you will find here
    https://github.com/notoriousbdg/SmartThings.Aeon-Labs-Smart-Strip/blob/master/Aeon-Labs-Smart-Strip.smartapp.groovy Then save and publish it.

  3. Create 4 virtual switches using the IDE website https://graph.api.smartthings.com/
    a. Add new device
    b. Name and description whatever you want but unique
    c. network id can be anything you want but be unique
    d. type should be simulated switch
    e. select home and your hub
    f. do 3 more times until you have 4 simulated switch devices added and showing up in your things list.

  4. Go to the market place in the smart things app and the smartapps tab and scroll to the bottom where it says +my apps. Select the "AEON Power Strip Binder"
    a. Select your smart strip
    b. Select your virtual switches you created in step 3. Switch 1 is 1, 2 is 2 etc. Whatever you decided to call them in step3.
    c. Give the virtual device a name. This is the name that will show up under smartapps.

enjoy a 5 minute, frustration free exercise in making it work.
