Zemismart DIY Name Display switch

[peterbrown77.pb]

I'll be honest here... I have been looking around and it seems with a bit of work I could get this working in home assistant.. however I prefer to use hubitat and don't have the ZigBee radio in home assistant (I only use it for wifi cloud based things where hubitat doesn't have the drivers).

Here is my chatgpt response when I asked can you turn this conversation into a forum post. I have edited out the less relevant stuff. Also gave concerns (as you need to be with chatgpt) that bit everything is correct.

I’m looking for help integrating a Zemismart DIY Name Display Smart Switch (4-gang, Zigbee, Tuya-based) into Hubitat.

• Model: (purchase from Amazon – link)
• It’s a touch light switch with a small display that can show custom names per gang (set via Tuya Smart / Smart Life app).
• The spec sheet says it requires a Tuya Zigbee hub, but I’d like to pair it directly with Hubitat.

From what I’ve read (chatgpt told me actually so this could be wrong), other Tuya multi-gang switches work fine with community drivers in hubitat that create child devices for each endpoint.

Questions:

1. Has anyone already created a driver for this specific Zemismart DIY Name Display switch?
2. If not, would it be possible to adapt one of the existing Tuya multi-gang switch drivers?
3. Bonus: Has anyone figured out if the on-device screen labels (the custom gang names) can be updated locally from Hubitat, instead of only through Tuya Smart?

Hi Peter,

I am not aware of a publicly available driver for your device, but there is something that may be very close - this is the TratoZemismartKeypad device group in this driver :

[RE-RELEASE] Moes ZigBee Wall Switch 1/2/3-Gang (Tuya TS0601 Switches)

This is a re-release of the popular 'Moes ZigBee Wall Switch 1/2/3-Gang' driver, initially published by @martinkura back in 2021. The driver can now be installed from HPM - search for 'Moes ZigBee Wall Switch '. Important: if you have this driver already installed manually, first perform a 'MatchUp' in HPM and then update to the latest version. Note, that Tuya TS0601 switches will not work out of the box using the Hubitat stock drivers. This (or a simiralr Tuya-specific) driver is required …

You can try to experiment yourself - first identify your device Zigbee model and Manufacturer, and then add it to the list of Manufacturers codes in this line :

boolean isTratoZemismartKeypad() {
    return device.getDataValue('manufacturer') in ['_TZE204_rzdkn5rx', '_TZE204_zpvusbtv', '_TZE204_rkbxtclc'/*, '_TZ3000_excgg5kb'*/]  // _TZ3000_excgg5kb for tests only - TOBEDEL!
}

Let me know the Zigbee model/manufacturer of your device (if you have it and it is paired to a HE hub).

@peterbrown77.pb, @kkossev,

The device manufacturer is Zemismart, and the model number is ZMS-206US.

This device seems to mark a new step in switch automation. The ability to manipulate a label display for each switch via an app appears to be one of those improvements that seem obvious in hindsight. Perhaps this has been done before, but it's the first iteration I've seen. I'm attaching a photo for a quick view.

Do you have this device paired to HE?

[peterbrown77.pb]

No I was just looking at them. At first I thought it was a battery based remote style, then realised it was an in wall hard wired switch. I was looking for a remote with labels (to trigger blinds and a few other devices) so I couldn't see an application for this type of switch in my home (for lights only). I'd like to though as it looks nice... Thus why I posted here anyway in case I find an application.

No, I don't have any of these. I think they are a great idea. I have a few places where I would use them.
