TouchWand WallWand Panel support.
Currently limited to ON/OFF and Dimmer control.
These are “app-less” basic z-wave functions.
There’s no TouchWand app yet, you can request it @
https://request-a-brand.homey.app/
The TouchWand panel features up to 8 independent switch or dimmer endpoints, but a firmware bug prevents it from working correctly with Homey Pro. When a state is changed physically, the device sends a generic Z-Wave report that omits the endpoint number, causing Homey to only recognize changes from the first endpoint. This, in turn, causes the UI to only show a single control even though there are actually up to 8 endpoints. This app provides a necessary workaround by creating individual controls for all 8 endpoints. When the app detects an endpoint-less report, it immediately queries each endpoint on the device to determine the source of the state change. This action forces a correct, targeted response from the panel, ensuring the status of every control in the Homey UI is accurately updated
Regarding the specific brand app request, once they make the device firmware send reports with the right endpoint number, Homey Pro should be able to work without an App.
The company might have even fixed this already, but I live in an apartment complex which has more than 80 flats and each flat has two of these devices installed without a controller(at least my apartment didn’t have one) and the devices are out of warranty (>3 years), so they can’t be upgraded remotely.
This App allows me to control the devices using my phone using the Homey Pro without paying the TouchWand rep. to come and fix the issues or without buying TouchWand Z-Wave controller (which might work without issues).
In the next couple days, I plan to completely document the debugging process and the specific issues with the devices I have in my flat.
From what I know, not true.
The generic z-wave driver adds only one onoff switch max, regardless from how many switches the device actually possesses.
To enable support for multi-switches, an app is needed.
