[RELEASE] Wall controller port (Popp, Devolo, Z-Wave.me and more)

This is a port of my ST handler for Wall controllers and Key Fobs from Z-wave.me, Popp, & Devolo. It's a bit rough around the edges but it works! - will update if necessary:

Here is the original ST thread: [Release] Z-Wave.me, Popp, & Devolo Wireless wall Controller & Key Fob (EU), with button controller dimming apps and CoRE integration - Community Created Device Types - SmartThings Community

@bravenel Sorry if you are not the right person to ask this:

I am currently going around my home and adding devices to Hubitat and also implementing a 2 way sync to ST to minimise disruption the house and also so that we have a working app. This Driver is the first one that I have ported. I have implemented one thing a bit strangely - and I wanted to find out what the "correct way" to do it is:

  • When a button event is fired the state of the button device seems to keep the last event. This caused problems because it wasn't always easy to determine if a new event had fired if the same button was operated in the same way.
  • To get around this I added a button push / hold / double click with value 0 which fires 1 second after the actual event - to reset the state to a default / neutral state.
  • This is working well for what I need right now - but would be good to understand the correct thing to do

Cheers

Hi @AdamV,

Brilliant work on this! My key fob is the last thing to get connected :slight_smile:
Got it paired with no issues (thankfully had the document to reset).

All buttons working, Push, Double click and Hold!!

Thanks very much :+1:

No problem @Royski. I made a slight improvement to it this morning - will update the github when I get home

Buttons don't really have state, or at least you shouldn't be thinking in those terms nor your code. All they have are events. What you see in the state display on the device page is only the shadow of the last event, not state. Your driver should be driven entirely from events.

@ AdamV
Very grateful for this driver already from when I used ST. Thanks a lot.

I am not sure how serious this is but all of my 7pcs. z.wave.me button controllers give regularly an error in the logs.

@ronald1 Its not important - but I had made a fix locally - I've just updated the Github.

See Hubitat/SecureWallController at master · adampv/Hubitat · GitHub for the latest.

I won't be doing any further updates to this driver (I don't think anymore is required anyway) - because I am replacing all my Wall Controllers with a battery-less solution. If anyone here is interested in all my old wall controllers that are compatible with this driver the pm me as I'll be selling them when I'm done

Thanks for all the good work and the last fix!

I'm selling all of my compatible switches:
