I think the problem is that I am using Virtual Nodes to make Comfort simulate ZWave nodes that are actually CBus groups. I do not have an actual ZWave device, either input (switch) or output (lamp). I have a Controller (Smartthings) that is manipulating a simulated output (Lamp) directly. This Lamp is not 'associated' with a ZWave input (switch). Perhaps I need another Virtual Node acting as an input (switch) that I can associate somehow in the controller with the virtual output (lamp)?
I am adding the Virtual Nodes to Smartthings by telling Smartthings to add a new device then clicking 'Create Virtual Node' in Comfigurator - there is no control over what sort of device appears - just appears as a multilevel dimmer. Perhaps I am doing this bit wrong?
I believe the issue is at the ZWave interface and I think I have the latest hardware and firmware. I appreciate that using the latest UCM/CBus2 would save on programming responses, but I am not convinced it will solve the issue of status feedback to ZWave. I may try using a different ZWave controller to see if I get different behaviour.
Perhaps the new UCM/Pi will solve all my problems!
Thanks again,
Chris
