Hi, I bought a Nexa AN 196 Z-wave switch which has two channels ([Z-Wave AN-196 - NEXA](https://nexa.se/smarta-hem/z-wave/an-196)). The Nexa app ([Nexa App för Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/sv-se/app/se.nexa/Nexa/)) has no support for Z-wave devices so I added this one as a generic Z-wave device in Homey. However, Homey is only adding one device which allows me to control channel 1, not channel 2. Is there any way that a generic Z-wave device could add two devices so that I am able to control channel 2 of my Nexa AN 196? Using Homey version 8.0.3. Thanks for any help on this! ---

No, that isn’t possible, it will need an app (added support) to be able to do that. ---

You should ask for adding it into the Everspring app > **[Everspring](https://homey.app/sv-se/app/com.everspring/Everspring/)** > > Adds support for Everspring devices It is an Everspring device rebranded by Nexa. ---

Hi, I bought an AN196 a couple of days ago. I was able to download the everspring app from github, added the new device, added support for 2 channels + flow elements to switch on, off and toggle. I guess I should share this patch somewhere, not sure how “production ready” it is, but I have it working at least. ---

Great! Sounds so simple… I am not very familiar with Github, but should you be able to make a Pull request with you modification and hopefully they will merge. But the Everspring app has not been touched for 2 years. ---

Hi, I gave it a try to add AN196 to the code, but no success yet. I am new to this, so I am not really sure what I am doing, but what i did was: 1. New AN196 driver folder and changed content of device.js. Anything else do be done here but replacing AN179 with AN196? 2. Added new device to app.json as below. I find the AN196 device and I am able to add the device to Homey. Controlling the first channel works fine. But no device for the second channel is added. What am I missing here?

A friend of mine has merged from FutureHome to Homey Bridge but has a challenge with channel 2 on Nexa AN 196. Using the Everspring app but still only channel 1 is working. According to the comments in this post it is solved? Thanks for any response. ---
