Hi,

I just configured a similar switch, the [Namron Z-wave 2 channel switch (1 channel in URL)](https://www.elektroimportoren.no/namron-zigbee-1-kanal-bryter-k4/4512702/Product.html?Event=searchlist).

The switch does not support the onoff [capability](https://community.homey.app/t/robb-smarrt-z-wave-and-zigbee-app-v1-3-1/9988) 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.
