You’d have to use the switch as a wall remote, as discussed above, and still have a separate network device to control the fan and the light, but the basic concept is there. They are using a new device type handler created for this particular switch. This is allowing people to use double tap functionality again, but not by using the older smart app. They send a different code for each of those possibilities. Homeseer switches can distinguish between single tap on, double tap on, triple tap on, single tap off, double tap off, and triple tap off. The switches count the tap patterns themselves, and then send a single message to the hub with a numeric code. There might be a possibility, though, with a new kind of switch that was just released in the last couple of months. I am not aware of any switches that can control the fan which will send this kind of double tap. You’ll find this discussed in detail in the forum threads about that smartapp.Įven when the double duty smart app did work, it didn’t work with all switches, because some switches have their own “debounce” built in which ignores multiple taps in a short time period. More importantly, while double tap worked OK in late 2014 and the beginning of 2015, around the summer of 2015 it started failing for almost everyone because cloud latency threw off the precision needed to meet the time window. First, there aren’t enough possible variations to give you low/medium/High/off for both fan and light. This doesn’t really map to the fan/light use case.
