Help with basic setup of a z-wave wall switch

Hi,

I just configured a similar switch, the Namron Z-wave 2 channel switch (1 channel in URL).

The switch does not support the onoff capability you expected, but you can use the scene association to achieve the same outcome.

This is what I did to control my Philips Hue bulbs:

  1. Add the switch using the Namron app in Homey.
  2. Add a flow:

When
Wall controller - 4 button - 2 channel (Z-wave)
A scene has been activated
Group 2 - On (I) Pressed 1x

Then
Phlips Hue GU10
Turn on

Duplicate the same flow and modify it to create a flow to turn off the light. I also used the scene capability to assign relative dim levels to the 2 lower buttons on the switch.

I did have some initial trouble making this work due to the distance between the switch and the Homey (They were 2 floors apart). Hopefully, installing some Heatit dimmers will extend the z-wave mesh.
