I have a number of Sinope Zigbee light switches. I have configured them using the Sinope app and all works well. I particularly like the fact that Sinope supports single presses and double presses, both up and down.
For example, a single “Up” press can turn on light A, but a double “Up” can turn on lights A and B.
This is an important feature to me.
However, the Sinope app only supports its own products, and Sinope does not support a battery operated switch.
This is also important to me because I have a couple of long hallways with switches at one end only! These should have had 3 way switches, but for some inexplicable reason, do not. So when walking these hallways, you’re always in the dark half the time.
My plan would be to replace the existing dumb switch with a smart switch, and then add a battery operated switch at the other end.
I can surely do this using the Webthings gateway, but it doesn’t look like I can create “double press” rules. I’m therefore left with the Sinope gateway controlling some devices and Webthings controlling others; decidedly sub-optimal.
Am I missing something?
Thanks for any thoughts.
