GE Z-Wave Plus Smart Motion Switch

Excited about this switch. Love to see it supported soon!

It might work out of the box to some extent but it's hard to know exactly without someone actually trying it. My guess is that turning the switch on/off from Indigo will work fine. You can manually set the associations it supports. Not sure that the motion sensor portion is actually exposed as a separate device though.

So a followup on this.

When I add the switch, it creates two devices: the light switch, and the notification sensor.

However, when I try to setup a trigger based on the notification sensor's On state, nothing seems to work. Is there any sort of info I can provide to help with this?

The light switch portion seems to work fine. Only the notification portion doesn't work.

Here's the device information:

Turn on Indigo's Z-Wave debug logging checkbox (via the Interfaces->Z-Wave->Configure... menu item), then trip the motion sensor a few times (waiting a few minutes between each to let it reset). Copy/paste the Event Log results into a reply for us so we can see what commands it is sending.

I'll be back there tomorrow, and will get that information. Thanks!

Here's the sensor getting tripped twice:

Let me see if I can get a signal from it setting back to off.

Any progress on this? Would more information help? I have two GE Z-Wave Plus Smart Motion Dimmers. They also come up as two devices (Multilevel Switch and Notification Sensor), on the same Z Wave ID. Any details I can provide?

I just got my Aeotec Z-Stick Gen 5 in and am looking at this exact switch as well. The motion sensor feature is very appealing. Any word on if this works in Indigo 7.2 properly?

I’m interested to know as well. I have one on my bench and haven’t tested it yet.

I got a wild hair and decided to bench test this switch (mine is actually the Smart Motion Dimmer). It included into Indigo quickly and (as alluded to above) results in 2 devices with the switch being the master.

• The switch reacts to Indigo commands -- On, Off, Dim.
• The switch reports local control to Indigo -- On, Off, Dim
• The switch DOES NOT appear to report motion to Indigo.
• There is also apparently a light sensor as (according to the docs) the switch can be set to only turn the light on when it's dark) but I suspect that this also does not have a Z-Wave hook.

It doesn't appear that motion sensor reports activity that the Indigo notification sensor device can detect. In fact, there may be no Zwave activity on sensed motion at all:

It seems the switch detects motion, turns on the light, and then the light reports its status to Indigo. For giggles, I tried encryption, but the device doesn't support it.

Extra Credit: the color changing kit is only for the buttons. If you switch to the cream color, the motion sensor will still be white.

EDIT: Turns out, you can capture motion events using a Match Raw Packet trigger type. See below:

Thanks for digging into this. My interest in this was the motion sensor. If that were a readable value, then I could have a motion detector built right into the switch that I could use in Indigo. Too bad.

Dave, can you add association for group 2 and 3 to Indigo (node 1)?

PeteMatheson has an outdoor light - not sure model - that behaves very similar to this. I believe Motion is sent to group 2 or 3, intended to turn on other Zwave lights by direct association rather than as a trigger to controller?

Yes, you can.
