Double Tap Trigger Event

[schubey]

I had the displeasure of using HouseLinc2 prior to discovering HCA. Despite the countless capabilities HCA has compared to the dumbed down HL2, HL2 had double-tap triggers for events from SwitchLincV2s and KeypadLincs (On/Off and aux buttons). I've attempted to replicate this with programs that control my scenes, but I've come to the conclusion that the HL2 implemention almost had to be implemented using device-level functionality as the two-way communication latency using a program is just too high. Instead of tap-tap, it's tap...wait 1sec or so...tap.
I used the double-tap to trigger often to initiate scenes that turn many devices off (e.g. leaving a room, double-tap off to turn all off).

I'm curious if I'm missing something obvious, if anybody has a good implementation example (customize HCA using toolset available), or if my device level assesment is correct, could this be added to HCA triggers?

Many thanks if advance for all replies!

This probably could be added to HCA but it would have to be something implemented into HCA rather than something that could be added on. I'll add it to the suggestion box for 9.1

In order for this to work, HCA will need to be modified to differentiate between the commands the switch sends for single or double taps. From examining the COMM Monitor in HCA, it appears as if my Insteon switch sends ON with one tap, or command "12" with a double tap, so these are indeed different, and HCA should be able to implement triggers on double taps - a nice feature for 9.1 - add my vote. Additionally, the double-off tap appears to be command "14". I'd guess that single on is 11 and single off is 13.

Triggers for the "fast on" and "fast off" - what are double-taps - have been added to HCA 10.0. Support is dependent upon the firmware in the switch as only the most recent switches ship with the firmware for this.
