Driver for Aeotec Heavy duty Smart Switch Gen5 US

I have issues with a new Z-wave device that might be driver related.

Another thread said the "Aeotec Smart Switch 6" driver could be used so I'm trying that.

It doesn't respond reliably to on/off requests (at least as reported by device page) but it reports voltage and current constantly (see below). I'm thinking the device is so busy sending voltage and current info, it doesn't have time (or misses) on/off requests.

There are preferences for power reporting interval and/or setting thresholds for the change required before status is sent. But, changing those doesn't seem to have an effect. And, after trying to change them, I get messages in the log saying I have to save the device again:

Does anyone know if the Gen6 driver actually works for a Gen5 device? There is also an "Aeotec Smart Energy Switch" driver (versus Smart Switch 6 and Smart Switch 7 US).

2

I'm trying the "Aeotec Smart Energy Switch" driver.

It seems I can control the report generation with this driver and on/off control (so far) seems reliable.

3

I have the same problem. Will try the above driver.

4

The "Aeotec Smart Energy Switch" driver has been working reliably for me so far.

I haven't tried it yet, but this site shows a driver specifically fo the ZW078:

If I have any issues with the built-in driver, I'll check that one out. If you do, I'd like to hear how it works out.

5

Lengthy response times (several seconds)

6

MUCH faster response times with this driver.
