Fixed incorrect calls to speed and ramp rate configuration.

Mar. 28, 2024

Parameter Related Enhancements

Modified P55 by updating the range to 2-255 (was 2-254) where 255 sends an On command

Modified P56 by updating the range to 0-255 (was 0-254) where 255 sends an Off command

Added P120 which changes how a single tap on the switch works when the switch is used as a fan controller

Added P121 - Fan Timer Mode

Added P130 - Config/Favorites Button Binding Mode for Fan Control

Added P131 - Sets Low Level for Config/Favorites Button for Fan Control

Added P132 - Sets Medium Level for Config/Favorites Button for Fan Control

Added P133 - Sets High Level for Config/Favorites Button for Fan Control

Added P134 - Sets color for Config/Favorites Button for Fan Control

Button Related Changes

When in the local protection state, you can also restore the factory settings by using the normal method (ie: hold the top of the paddle down + the config/favorites button for 20 seconds)

Added a Combo Button to change P120

Added a Combo Button to enable Initiator Mode (which is used to bind the switch to the Blue Series Fan & Light Module)

If P121 (Fan Timer Mode) = 1, then the tap sequence is as follows:

  • Tap ↑ 1x = Fan Turns On

  • Tap ↑ 2x = 5 min timer

  • Tap ↑ 3x = 10 min timer

  • Tap ↑ 4x = 15 min timer

  • Tap ↑ 5x = 30 min timer

  • Tap ↓ 1x = Fan Turns Off (timer is cancelled)

Device Function Changes

Added a new dimming endpoint for the config/favorite button

Command Changes

Modified the private command BindInitiator [cmd id: 0x04] to BindInitiator (endpoint) [cmd id: 0x04]. This endpoint supports input parameters of 0x02 and 0x03. 0x02 indicates EP2 enters Initiator and 0x03 indicates EP3 enters Initiator

Other Changes

Changed the behavior to keep alive cluster to stop using keep alive cluster when the hub does not support it (related to Hubitat bug)

Removed the ability to add EP2 to a group to multicast commands to group members

Matched the Red Series 2-1 ramp rate behavior

Fixed the inability to use Hold up / Hold down to adjust the level of the binding device in On/Off + Remote Control Mode

Production

Date Codes:

2307, 2312

Jul. 24, 2023

Modified P22 so that Single-Pole Full Sine Wave is the default

Modified when P22 is set to a value of 3, P258 will be automatically switched to 1 (On/Off Mode)

Added a Quick Tap Feature to show the firmware version

Added a Quick Tap Feature to switch to Leading or Trailing Edge

Fixed: Optimized issue where switches cannot join hub

Fixed: Optimized the transmitting power of the wireless signal

Officially added Leading / Trailing Edge parameter.

Beta

Apr. 11, 2023

Modified P56 range 0-254 (allow double-tap to turn device off)

Optimized dimming flicker problem

Beta

Mar. 17, 2023

Further optimized Zigbee messaging

Beta

Mar. 15, 2023

Optimized compatibility with dimmable bulbs

Optimized Zigbee messaging network processing

Fixed: Incorrect behavior of P5

Fixed: Adjust the output voltage under non-neutral

Fixed: Mode is not automatically switched to, "dimmer" when the user selects smart bulb mode

Fixed: Reduced unnecessary Zigbee broadcasts

Production

Date Codes:

2303

Feb. 10, 2023

Minimum levels are better optimized w/neutral wire

Added Trailing Edge Dimming¹

Fixed: Ramp Rate remote sometimes not being applied

Trailing Edge Dimming improved switch buzz and LED Bulb Flicker.

Please see notes at the bottom for limitations.

Production

Jan. 18, 2023

Added Option #3 to P22 (Switch Type) - Single-Pole Full Sine Wave

Added Disable Remote Control as a special cluster command (Manufacturer specific command 0x10 (0x00 Enable Remote Control, 0x01 Disable Remote Control)

Fixed: The duty cycle value of dimming will be less than the Max Level Value (miscalculation of max level when that setting is set)

Fixed: Bug that was making set level, "duration" not work correctly

Fixed: Excessive broadcast Report Attributes

Single-Pole Full Sine Wave improves On/Off performance

Production

Date Codes:

2211

Nov. 11, 2022

Fixed: Deployed a fix for the ability to send commands to group binding

Beta

Nov. 08, 2022

Removed the sending of multicast commands to avoid switches that would accidentally control other devices within a group

Fixed: Deployed a fix for the wrong destination endpoint used when sending some commands
