This is a SmartThings automation showing how to automatically turn on your bathroom fan to reduce humidity in your bath/shower. In this automation I show how to install an in wall micro switch. The switch is neatly concealed within the gang box. The switch that I am using is the Enerwave Z-Wave Plus Dual Relay Wall Micro Switch. I demonstrate how to setup this routine in both the SmartThings Classic App and the New SmartThings App.
Click on the link for ‘Mariano Shared Beta Driver’ Channel invitation. Note: After clicking the driver channel link you will be required to sign into your Samsung SmartThings Account.
Next you must then select ‘Accept’ to confirm your acceptance of the channel invitation.
After accepting the channel invitation, choose your target hub and select 'Enroll'.
Next, click on ‘Available Drivers’ and select ‘Install’ to download the ‘Z-Wave Switch and Child Mc’ edge driver to your target hub.
Next, verify the installed driver by going to your SmartThings App, find your SmartThings Hub within the 'Devices' tab and then click on your Hub tile. Then while in your Hub’s device screen, select the ellipsis in the upper right-hand corner and then click on the word ‘Driver’ from the dropdown list. You will then be able to view a list of all of your installed Edge Driver Channels and Edge Drivers.
After confirming the installation of the new ‘Z-Wave Switch and Child Mc’ Edge Driver you may now add your device SmartThings App by scanning for nearby devices. The appropriate driver should be automatically assigned to your Enerwave switch. To verify this, follow the instruction in step 7.
Click on your device’s tile and then while in the device screen, click on the ellipsis to confirm that the dropdown list now contains the word ‘Driver’. The presence of the word ‘Driver’ confirms that an edge driver was assigned to your device.
If the SmartThings app selected the wrong driver, tap on ‘Select different driver’ and select the ‘Z-Wave Switch and Child Mc’ Edge Driver
Important: Under the device's settings menu for the main device (click on the 3 dots to see the "Settings" menu), you will see the following screen:
You will want to toggle on the switch “Create Single Device for Switch1” to make a second controllable switch for the relay. Then you can rename the two switches and use them as independent device switches.
Remember to visit Bud's Smart Home Amazon Store for smart home devices which are compatible with the new Samsung SmartThings Lua architecture.
