Any conceivable way to detect where a button was pressed?

In a Smart-Switch + AUX switch setup, is there any way to detect if a press occured on the master switch (the smart switch) or the AUX switch(es)?

I am afraid no…which I find terribly sad because technically that should be possible.

I installed this Smart switch and AUX switch on my staircase but I’d really need to know if a button push occured at the top or the bottom.

Yes, if you enable AuxSwitchUniqueScenes the Smart Switch and Aux will get different scene numbers.

Thank you, this really sounds promising!!

But how do I set the “scene” for each switch and how do I read it out once button push is triggered?

I was thinking after a button press is detected and I’m processing the event handler, I would read out another property of the switch which tells me if it’s the aux or non aux switch. But which property should I be looking at?

The scene number is different for main vs aux

I didn’t understand what “scene number” is.

But I got it working: There is an additional action “aux single up” and “aux single down” now. So perfect!
