Look what showed up in the mail today !!
I leave for vacation on Saturday, the timing is cruel

Hi there,
We don’t have plans to not sell to them! I would recommend reaching out to them directly to get the status of the On/Off switches from them.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Thank you!

Hi there,
We are still working through our backlog of On/Off switch pre-orders. We are fulfilling orders in the order that they were placed, so it may take us some time to get to yours!
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
Thanks! I’ve also asked if they will be getting some in stock. I’ve been eagerly awaiting their arrival as I have a few use areas where I’ll be able to make good use of them!
Are there Hubitat drivers for this yet?
Yes, sorry, I didn’t update the link. It should be live on the support site now, but for reference here is the direct link:

@Eric_Inovelli Question, are the notifications commands for the LED going to be similar to the Blue Series 2-1 Dimmer? I use LED Mini-Dashboard in my houses and would prefer not have to redo everything
They should be identical between the 2-1 (dimmer), on-off and fan switch.
Got my first one up and running, made a tweak to the LED Mini-Dashboard to allow VZM31-SN and VZM30-SN switches under the same list, and everything seems to be working.
I did notice that the relay click doesn’t seem to go away when I turn that off
Doesn’t this device use an actual relay to do the switching? Therefore it’s hard to imagine there would be no relay clicking sound.
Can the relay click even be disabled with this switch – i.e. does it not have an actual relay?
Assuming it does, is it possible that’s just an overlooked parameter left behind from the 2-1 code?
Yeah, the relay click is unfortunately not something that can be turned off as @hydro311 pointed out (since it has an actual relay in it unlike the Dimmer which has a MOSFET - the relay portion of the dimmer is used for the 3-Way w/Dumb Switch and, believe it or not, there were customers who liked the clicking noise, so we enabled it). I’ll have to defer to @EricM_Inovelli on the driver code. It likely is something that was left over from the Dimmer switch code.
There’s also some parameters on there in reference to Dimming – those are actually for Zigbee Bindings (so you can still dim your smart bulbs).

Yeah that’s a good point. I was thinking about the dimmer.

Yeah, it was overlooked in the driver, but I’ll remove it asap.

Have you used the LED Mini-Dashboard with this? Did you just use the Blue VZM30 as the target type? I saw that the author of the app is no longer supporting it so I am not expecting this switch to get added. I did look through the code and I don’t think it would be hard to add myself.
Is the “unknown model” value I am seeing for Switch Mode and Aux Type also from the driver not being fully updated for the VZM30? Or did I do something wrong with my install?
Good news, shortly after I (and others?) asked Aartech for the switch, I got a response indicating it was now available, so ordered 3. Not cheep, but really looking forward to installing them!
I installed mine yesterday and wanted to show the performance of the humidity sensor. The lines in the graphic below are as follows. All three devices are in my master bathroom which is relatively small. They are all within about 2 feet horizontally of each other, but at different vertical placements.
Purple = Zooz ZSE11, reporting set to 5% change trigger, ceiling mount
Blue = Zooz ZSE44, reporting set to 5% change trigger, on top of medicine cabinet
Orange = VZM30-SN
Looking at the graph you can easily see where two showers were taken by looking at the purple/blue lines. What concerns me is the first shower barely registered on the VZM30. Definitely not enough of a spike to trigger my rule to turn on my exhaust fan. The second one would have triggered it, but I will probably need to add a delay for shutoff due to how fast this responds vs my other sensors. I am holding off on updating my rules and removing the old sensors until I get more data.
Note - data is from Hubitat that was exported to InfluxDB.

I just updated the Hubitat driver with some more granular control of the temp and humidity reporting. Can you update and change the settings to see if you can get things set the way you need them?
These settings control how often and under what conditions the device reports temperature and humidity updates. “Min Report Interval” sets the shortest time (in seconds) between each report, while “Max Report Interval” defines the longest allowed time before a report is sent, even if there’s no change. Setting either to 0 disables the reports. “Min Report Change” determines how much the temperature or humidity must change (in 0.1°C or 0.1% units, respectively) to trigger a new report—lower values mean more frequent updates. Adjusting these parameters allows you to balance between real-time accuracy and network traffic.
Just be careful that you don’t set it so frequent that it causes too much traffic. If you need some suggestions, let me know but hopefully that is enough info to get you going.

Thank you for the update. I just downloaded and installed the new driver. I will say that before making changes, humidity was being reported every minute no matter how small the change. I have set it to be 30 second minimum, 5 minute max with a 1% trigger. I will see how that works.
After making the changes I did see this in the event logs:
I assume this is because the driver hasn’t been updated to handle this command in the event output yet but wanted to verify.
