I recently added an Aeon Smartstrip to my home automation setup, aiming to control each switch independently. However, I faced an issue where only the entire strip could be controlled, not individual switches. After some research and troubleshooting, I discovered that the default device type didn’t support individual switch control. I explored forums and found that updating the device type to a custom version resolved the issue. Here’s how I did it:
- Check Firmware: Ensure your Smartstrip is running the latest firmware.
- Custom Device Type: Search for and install a custom device type that supports individual switch control.
- Configure Switches: After installation, each switch became separately addressable, allowing independent automation.
This solution not only fixed the problem but also enhanced my system’s flexibility. If anyone else is struggling with similar issues, I recommend exploring custom device types or reaching out to the community for support. Happy automating!
