Title: Is it possible to detect double taps on Z-wave wall switches?
Post by: Fmstrat on August 13, 2015, 11:03:16 PM

Hi,

Is it possible to detect double tap up or double tap down on standard Z-wave wall switches and/or dimmers? For instance, a device like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006LQFHN2 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006LQFHN2)

Thanks.

I'm not sure about the one you linked to, I have a Z-wave.me Wall Controller (http://www.controlliving.com/product/zwave-me-wandzender/) and HomeGenie can detect the following:

- Single tap
- Double tap
- Long hold down
- Long hold release

This can be detected from each button .On my switch their are four buttons, Left Up/Down and Right Up/Down.

Z-wave can detect those conditions natively?  I know X10 cannot so I added that capability to my Advanced Smart Lights code.  If you can't get it working like mvdarend suggests, you could try modifying what I've written to fit your needs.

To be honest, I don't know if it is native to Z-Wave but it works quite well. The different 'actions' with the buttons each give their own value:

Code: [Select]

Single tap
- top left    : 11
- top right   : 21
- bottom left : 31
- bottom right: 41

Double tap
- top left    : 12
- top right   : 22
- bottom left : 32
- bottom right: 42

Long press
- top left    : 13
- top right   : 23
- bottom left : 33
- bottom right: 43

Release from Long press
- top left    : 15
- top right   : 25
- bottom left : 35
- bottom right: 45

Thanks! Where is the "Advanced Smart Lights" program?

As for the detection, unlike the switch mentioned, mine only send a "level" on release/tap, double tap sends nothing.
