For example, the HomeSeer HS-WD100+ supports this feature (but it’s much more expensive).
If you’re looking for switches that will report their state, make sure you specifically check for the ‘instant update’ feature (might be called something else). It can sometimes work due to a work around built into OpenZwave. The current GE switches sometimes look like they support instant updates, but they really don’t. The controller will never see any action. Furthermore, as was mentioned earlier in this thread, controlling the addon switch does absolutely nothing except phsyically change the state of the light.
Also, press-and-hold actions do not result in this broadcast message. Unfortunately, since it’s a broadcast message, your controller needs to be one hop away from the device to receive it. This message has no information about the state of the switch, but when received, OpenZwave will query it for its current state. The reason you may see the state changes quickly is because the switch sends out a broadcast message when the switch is pressed. The GE switches do not actually support instant updates. One of the replies explains why the behavior is happening, and further down the thread another reply clarifies how to ensure the UI stays updated at all times. I did some searching and came across a thread in the Home Assistant community forums. This was the only place where I used the GE 12722 Z-Wave switch with the GE 12723 add-on switch because it was originally a 3-way switch with one at either end of the kitchen to control the ceiling lights. It usually showed as “on” even hours after it had been turned off. This entry is part 4 of 11 in the series Creating My Smart Home.Īfter setting up a few Z-Wave switches from GE, I noticed that my kitchen light switch wasn’t updating in the Home Assistant web UI.
