Added some notes so people new to Edge DTH work can have an easier time using this.

First wanted to say thank you for the work here. This is not really my skill set but if there are things I can help with testing or other please let me know. I was wondering about the multi press. I have two switchs on the edge drivers but the automations I've attempted do not seem to work. I've tried to control a couple devices that have edge drivers and some that donot so I'm unclear if this feature is working yet. Any firmware dependency for the homeseer switches? I'm sure mine are probably outdated as I have never updated them in the 4 years since they were installed

RandomEngy commented 1 year ago

@stgubala you want to install the more up to date drivers from https://github.com/jshessen/SmartThingsEdgeDrivers . If they have those edge drivers the multi-tap routines should work as indicated in the README file.

My WS100/WD100 Homeseer switches I installed in 2017 are working with multi-tap with those drivers and I never updated firmware on them.

Thanks I missed that these were in the separate branch. Switching over made them work great. Any thoughts on addressing the LEDs?

stgubala commented 1 year ago

@RandomEngy Thanks for getting me straightened out on the automations. I can see that in the settings page you can change the switch into status mode and control the LED's . Is there guidance yet on how to address the LED's in automations?

RandomEngy commented 1 year ago

@stgubala I only have the 100+ model switches and I've never tried to directly control the LEDs.

@stgubala I opened a feature in the main repo jshessen/SmartThingsEdgeDrivers/issues/19

stgubala commented 1 year ago

Thank you for the update. I have all 200 and 300 series dimmers and switches. I'm more than happy to test your code on the 200 series switches. But I looked around the github repository and perhaps I'm just blind. Bu I could not find the invite to the beta drivers.

I'm not sure how this PR got to be such an active thread but the real repository is at https://github.com/jshessen/SmartThingsEdgeDrivers . That has the channel invite link and you can open issues directly there.

stgubala commented 1 year ago

As far as the PR. There was a post on the r/smartthigns redit about them and I connected the Homeseer forum where a few of us were discussing these switches. I suspect that the two things have sent a few people here.

I guess I'm already on the Beta channel as they already show installed on the invite. And I unistalled devices and select the driver when it was suggested I use that channel a day or so ago. Current showing driver version 2023-01-21T04:06:45:843229802 but I can't address them in autmations. Not sure how to force an update however.

I just realized that I should probably use the smartthings forum for items like this. So I'll follow up there.
