First Time Caller: Lock front door with light switch double tap

#1

1) Give a description of the problem
I dont see the option for double tap. Only tap or hold. I tried hold just for testing. However, its a 2 button GE z-wave plus switch, but the options in webcore list 30 buttons. How do I find out what button is assigned what button number?

2) What is the expected behavior?
Double tap light switch and front door locks.

3) What is happening/not happening?
What is happening: lights turn off. What isnt happening: front door doesnt lock.

4) Post a Green Snapshot of the pistonimage
Imagine wont paste, I dont know why.

Add two tap conditions on the same button. When you have an and between them click on the word and. Select followed by from the drop down. Save that. Now click on the second followed by command. Adjust the time accordingly.

See if this works

#3

How do I know what the button labels are? There’s an up button and down button on the switch, but in webcore it gives me options for buttons 1-30

It is probably using a default device type handler. Create a piston like this:

If button 1 gets pushed
then
send push notification button 1 pushed
end if
if button 1 gets held
then send push notification button 1 held
end if

Do it for maybe up to 3 or 4 and see how high you can get. Make sure you try combos like pressing both buttons at the same time or holding both

#5

I think something isnt linked up right or something else. I did that and even clicking the “open/execute” in webcore, I dont get a push notification. Hmm.

#6

OK, I take that back. Tried another device and it worked. So, hmm.

#7

After more research, the double tap button in the app works and reports. The physical double tapping of the buttons does not work. Hmm

#8

More testing. Basically, webcore wont see the double tap command that the switch issues, because the custom DTH sends the command directly to another zwave device. So, it doesnt look like I can do what I am wanting.

#9

Got it. You have to assign it to a device in the app to make the custom DTH use the double button press. Then in webcore, you have to use the action for “button” instead of “switch” to see the double button press.

Shew.

Looks like you’ve made some progress. Get your situation working?
