You’ll need to run that demo script first and check the log for what values are actually passed by your specific switches. The WS200 ones are very standard, but not all are, so I haven’t added specific handlers for double click or triple click, you’ll need to check that against the values that are written to the log by the little demo script on the Wiki.

For example I have a double tap script in my own kitchen lights that turns on and off every light in the room. Single tap turns on only the minimum lighting but double tapping can turn on or off everything.

I’m using globals for the gesture code and button code that I’ve placed in my attachments script, but you don’t have to do that, just start with the demo script and use whatev4er values your particular switch passes for the button and gesture.

And remember that there is no reason to replace your CM11 completely in one go. Indeed it’s easier to keep it around and replace switches one or 2 at a time until you have everything working. It’s really hard to do everything at once and get it all going in just one try. Replace things one at a time. XTension will happily connect to both your CM11 and the Vera at the same time.

I see the XTension log entry for single clicks (Received ON for…), but with a double click, the message I get is "Front Lights: Please wait! Polling Node”. I currently don’t do any scripting in XTension, but look forward to learning.
