Great News! Thanks again.

Me and my wife have been double and triple-clicking happily for about two years now with ACT ZDW232's. I had some battery powered wall controllers but, as they had different look from the ACT ones, she didn't want them... go figure :mrgreen: The trouble with ZDW232's is that they break down really easily. About 50% of them broken in the first year and now they are discontinued. We got used to the system and would now like to replace them with something similar.

Enver: You talk about duwi.me, but isn't it z-wave.me ? (http://www.pepper1.net/zwavedb/device/117)

Alexander,
You are correct...that's the name.

Hardware is from Duwi.
Software is developed by ZWE and zwave.me

ZWE is replacing the original firmware with the new one.

Questions keep popping in my head:
1. Warrenty from Duwi is over than or is it fully supported by Duwi?
2. I thought i read the reason why Duwi didn't support the full ZWave functionality is because of licensing and extra costs? I don't understand it why it will work now without major extra costs in the pricing. Or is this a hack (which result in a licensing issue)?

It would be nice if we could do this ourself (or the tech guys here that can flash the original stuff)...

ZWE is the biggest distr for Duwi.
I'm sure warranty is no problem. Since ZWE will do the replacement.

I'm not sure about the licences..In the past there was a problem with de Hompro products and licences..
If there is a need for extra licences ZWE is paying that

The source of the firmware is not available for self upgrade..They are protecting there investment.

Can you tell me how you associate them in Vera, i really can't get them to work.
How did you "double click" to work with another device?

I have an Duwi z-wave.me (inbouw) to control a ceilinglight and and an Duwi (opbouw) to control another light.
I want to control both of them seperately with the buttons from the Duwi (inbouw) type.
Can you show me how you did this?

Before this can be done you have to enable double click
This can be done via option 14
Set this to 1
After that you have to associate groupe 2 > the the module that you want to control via double click

I tried above (settings in image) but it didn't work.

To control the second light (dimmer) with the zwave.me switch i double clicked and click again to activate the dimmer but it didn't work.
Even when i double click and hold it didn't work.

What am i doing wrong?

You must just double click to set ON or OFF. Or 1 click + 1Click/Hold to Dim. UP (or Down).
