@dcoffing I haven't yet tested the Virtual Device Sync app when used with the H801s separate channels in Hubitat so it may need some work. Since Rule Machine can control the channels by itself using custom commands have you thought about using that instead of creating virtual devices for all the channels?
Edit: I think I am going to create child devices for the separate channels. The device sync app was created before child devices were a thing. Now that child devices exist, they are a better way of doing it.
So you have already made the changes bro?
UPDATE: Its working great for me. No need for Virtual Device Sync now with your updated changes using parent-child technique.
Fancy finding you here. how are things over on the HE side of the Home Automation world.
I have just started on my slow steady migration and done my first 2x motion sensors and a Fibaro Single Switch.
Tomorrow I plan to attack my first Fibaro Dual Switch zwave plus fgs-223.
Shall I use this virtual device sync to get things working on both end points?
As @dcoffing says, there might already be support for it. If not, then you actually don't need to use Virtual Device Sync since the driver is created with child devices.
@ericm thanks for that.
I updated my hub firmware to 2.0.4.109 yesterday.
When I look at the list of Device Types available, via Device Information on existing switch, I see Fibaro Switch and Generic Z-Wave switch listed but no Dual switches. Are you saying the hub will identify it as a dual switch and create the child devices for me, as part of the Inclusion process?
I'm not sure, I haven't used the built in drivers for it. I'm just saying if the drivers aren't built into the Hubitat firmware then you can use my driver. Either way you won't have to use Virtual Device Sync since my driver uses child devices.
Your driver for the STT, it is cross compatible?
If not where can I get it from eric?
I have added a few of my 223 today. Included them and changed them to be Fibaro FGS-222 type.
THen I used the Parent/Child Dual Relay to get it all working.
Many thanks for this link.
I am currently using the Dual Relay Driver to utilise the 2 child switches.
Can anyone outline the process of changing the device type away from Dual Relay Driver/Dual Relay Driver(Child) to utilise @ericm 's excellent drivers?
I have tried changing the Parent Device to the FGS-223 but the children dont work and I cant seem to change the type of the children...
I would appreciate some guidance here
Sure, if you change over to my Fibaro driver you need to delete the previous child devices and then hit "Save Preferences" for them to be recreated with my driver. I'm not familiar with the Dual Relay Driver (I don't see it in my list) so I'm not sure the specifics regarding it.
I removed the old child devices, changed the Switch driver to yours and did the Save Preferences. The Metered Child devices were created but the associated lights dont work...any ideas?
Okies I have a spare FGS-223 so wired up and connected to HE.
Changed Device TYpe to your device handler ty and Save Preeference to generate the 2x Child endpoints.
Nothing happens when I turn the Children On/OFF and I get an error when I physically switch one of the endpoints?
First post here . . . I'm in the process of switching from Smartthings to Hubitat. It's a journey with slow progress. One of the devices I have is the Aeotec Smartstrip 6 with four individual Z-Wave outlets. I have tried both the Hubitat and @ericm drivers. Both work but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to create individual switches for each outlet.
Perhaps I do not understand virtual switches well enough. Perhaps I do not understand how Virtual Device Sync works in Hubitat since that is what I recall working in Smartthings. Any help is appreciated. It seems like there should be a child switch option like there is for the Enerwave Dual Relay which I did get working successfully with @ericm drivers.
@ericm does great work! Thank you! I'm not afraid of light coding but unfortunately find it hard to make sense of Groovy.
I think I managed to figure it out. I reviewed my Smartthings setup as I was in the process of moving various items to Hubitat and realized that Virtual Device Sync was an app; not a driver. Once I installed the app, I was able to create the virtual devices for each of the switches.
Thanks again @ericm for your drivers and apps. It's still not a simple journey but the Hubitat journey has seriously begun.
