New Zooz ZEN16 Multirelay

Just to recap about the momentary capabilities:

  1. Switch type for relay is to be used according to the wall switch type you want to use to turn (and keep) the relay on or off with a click / tap. That means you only want to use momentary if using this type of switch to turn something on or off and keep it that way and NOT if you'd like to accomplish momentary contact behavior like for a garage door gate. Obvious for the engineers, not so obvious to us regular users so we added another Switch Type option in firmware 1.02 that is simply called "garage door mode" - it will both know what to do with the wall switch AND Z-Wave control of the relay, creating momentary behavior for both sides of control.

  2. Auto-off timer - the first release included a timer in minutes only (we thought it would be easy to set momentary behavior using hub rules but it turned out it's neither that easy nor that reliable), then we added seconds and hours in 1.01 and finally we added the garage door mode I mentioned above for the 1.02 release - this applies a 2 second auto-off timer to the rely by default so you don't need to do any additional programming for the relay to work well with garage doors or in any similar momentary contact applications.

  3. The advanced settings we added for option 1.01 and 1.02 are not exposed in the Hubitat driver since it was released before we made these changes. The good news is that @mike.maxwell created a great simple Z-Wave parameter tool you could use here AND you can change the switch type manually using a sequence on the Z-Wave button from the device directly as well.
