MCO Touch Panel Switch part 2

Hi,

Are the MCO switches now fully supported in recent Indigo versions, or will they be at any future point?

In the UK it is a bit difficult to find light wall controls that offer more than two switches and are not a variant on the plastic clip in type, which looks a bit cheap (even though they are not cheap!)

At the moment my 4-way switch can receive commands from Indigo and respond correctly, but Indigo never gets notified when the switch is pressed locally.

Not at the moment and no ETA.

Sam, does anything get posted in the log with zwave debug mode enabled?

Another user has managed to get some basic monitoring of unsupported devices but it's a slow workaround.

Could you turn on debugging then posted some sample commands along with which button you clicked?

Hey,

Thanks for stepping in and providing a non 'FO' response. The official response pretty much broke the camel's back for me, so I have been looking at other options for now.

I'm still checking back every so often and hoping things will improve.

Several others have looked elsewhere, and you're obviously free to, but I'm not aware of any users who have ultimately switched away.

I'm looking at building a plugin around the other users workaround - could you run some debug logs with your switch even if you are looking at other HA products?

Any update on these since?
I also see they’re 3 wire only, so assume a 2-wire install is a flat out no?

I never heard back from Sam, and I haven't a clue what workaround I was talking about!

No idea if anyone uses/got them working or not.

Blimey, I had forgotten all about this!

I removed in the end, but that was under Indigo version 6.x. It worked to turn on/off remotely, but no status updates.
Basically a more expensive Lightwaverf.

I will dig it out and try with 7.

cheers!
Am I wasting my time though as it’s 3 wire only?

The one I have, which is the 4 load MH-S314-EU is two wire.

Looks Vesternet has the manual online:

Am I missing something - it shows 2 wires for the single and double switch too in the manuals?

"2 wire" is Live and Switched Live, which you'll find at most UK lightswitches. You don't need Neutral at most UK light switches, as the Neutral is the other side of the light bulb, not at the switch.

"3 wire" is Live, Neutral and Switched Live, which is very rare. In order for the module to be powered, and talk to ZWave, it needs Live and Neutral, in addition to the switched live.

Ah, it is 3 wire then. The unit does need neutral.

This house was re-wired around 6 years ago and they did put neutral in each pattress box. This was pre me thinking of HA and without prompting. Great I thought, later! Except they used 20-30 mill pattress boxes.

The MCO's protrude 30mm or so into the pattress box and fill then up to near the edges. When I was using it, it was in a 60mm surface mount, IIthink.

Sam.

That was good of them wasn’t it!
