Installed device not being found(?) in fingerprint data

I installed a couple of WD500Z-1 dimmer switches. Before doing so I found a driver on ST that had a fingerprint for a sister dimmer from the one installed.
I added the WD500Z-1 fingerprint data and loaded it into HE ( I also made the porting changes required)

When The WD500Z-1 is discovered it is identified as "other". When I select the above ST in "TYPE" it works fine.

Is my assumption that adding the new dimmer data to the drive was all that is needed?

BTW why is the device list data in decimal for type, ID and MFG, but the in clusters is in hex?

HE currently requires the inClusters listed in the pairing process to identify the driver, this property needs to be included in the fingerprint line. The driver you posted uses the newer msr fingerprint style that we don't support at this time.
The other pairing data elements are integers as that's how they are used internally.
All the fingerprint elements are hex, these are not used for anything other than initial device identification.

I understand,

Thanks

@mike.maxwell,

Mike, for my learning (and likely others) can you point me to a simple device driver that follows what you would consider "best practices" for Hubitat?

Thanks

John

Hello.
Has your WD500Z-1 been working well? Any suggestion prior to installing the one I have on hand? Thanks.

I have 3 of the WD500Z-1, I use the Generic zwave smart dimmer driver. Everything is fine except the indicator light which I have set to be on when the light is off, keeps changing to On when light is on.
Not a real problem for me but annoying.

When your pair it with Hubitat, after pushing the dimmer paddle, wait some 1 minute or so before thinking it is not connecting.

I'm guessing this isn't of use to you anymore John, but I see that Mike missed this question or maybe you got the answer in another thread. For anyone looking for examples, they are here.
