I am new to hubitat and I installed Eaton 9601 master switches and 9617 accessory switches into my house. I am have added all the devices to hubitat as 'generic z-wave smart switches'. The master 9601 switches seem to work ok but the accessory switches do not register 'off' position on the device status when pressed at the switch. I have been trying to setup simple automations for the switches in a 3-way configuration which work when controlled from the app but not locally at the switch. I am a beginner please help!
These were designed to talk via direct association to the switch.. However, I do have these and plan to add support for these to talk through the hub in 2.2.7
So what process would I use to make these work?
Hello! Can you offer any more details about how to get my eaton 9617 switches to associate directly with the Master switch? The documentation that comes with them doesn't really say much other than 'hub required'. Any help you can offer would be appreciated.
There isn’t a way currently (built-in).. There may be a community solution, but I am looking into providing a driver in the next release for this device..
Any idea when the next release will be? I am stuck without use of the switches until that happens. Might just return or exchange
I see that 2.2.7 is out, are the device drivers for the Eaton switches included in this update?
I installed a Eaton RF9601 Switch and RF9617 Accessory Switch using the platform drivers 2.2.9. A couple of minor issues that I wanted to check to see if I'm missing anything. Using the Eaton Drivers in 2.2.9 the direct association works, but I'm not seeing the On/Off states being synchronized. For example, when I turn the RF9601 On, the RF9617 does not reflect the On state as it stays in the Off state. Is this something that should be done in the driver?
Can you screenshot the preferences section in both device pages?
Did you set up the association on both devices? There are two associations necessary to see the synchronized states on both devices: RF9617 to FR9601 and RF9601 to RF9617. The second one keeps the accessory switch state consistent with the primary switch.
@bcopeland and @wayne.pirtle - thanks for the feedback, that fixed my issue! Looks like I didn't set the association on the RF9601 because for some reason I didn't think I needed to set that on the field. I've attached screen shots for future references. You guys are awesome in supporting the Habitat Community! (updated the snapshots for direct association)

You’re welcome @kkchan1. I almost exclusively use these and the dimmer version RF9640 and RF9642.
If you use the dimmer pair remember there are TWO associations to make with each device: one for on/off control, the second for level control.
