Turned over front lights to Hubitat

I have four lights on the front part of my house. When I first moved here 13 years ago I installed a programmable switch to turn them on and off. It was advanced and would change the on and off times throughout the year based on sunset and sunrise. It's only flaw was it didn't keep great time. I had to adjust the time every couple of years. When I got my Hubitat I decided to give it this task and bought this inexpensive switch.

I had no idea if it would work but I figured for $11 I would give it a try. I installed it today. First let me say it just barely fit in the box so make sure you have lots of room in your box. Second there are no holes to accept the cover plate. I just shoved it into the box. If you have a double box as I do they make covers with only one opening. The cover plate is held in place by the other switch in the box and I glued the screws into the other holes for appearance purposes.

It went into pairing mode as soon as I turned the power on and Hubitat found it right away. At first I used the Generic ZigBee Switch driver. It didn't work. Next I tried the Generic ZigBee Outlet driver and that worked. With any luck I'll never have to touch it again. Not bad for $11.............. assuming it keeps working.
