ST-Cooper-RF9500-Beast

SmartThings Device Handler for the Cooper RF9500 Battery Operated Switch. This device handler is not initially intended to be use on a regular basis from the SmartThings app as when using the app you should be using the lightbulb or group of light bulb device to control the light. This is intended to make the physical RF battery operated switch work.

Details

• This device handler was written specifically for the Cooper RF9500 (RF Battery Operated Switch).
• The version # of the switches I tested with is 3.11 as listed on th back of the switch.
• FCC ID: UH2-RF9500
• IC: 4706C-RF9500

This device handler supports

1. On / Off
2. Dimming
3. Virtual dimming below 0 and above 100 so if you are using multiple of these, you don't need to worry about them staying the same value. Up is up, down is down.
