These are two blueprints that allow creating automations around the GE double-tap functionality. In zwave-js, these switches are automatically configured to respond to double tap events, so all it takes is using these blueprints.
In both blueprints the manufacturer is filtered to “GE/Jasco”. If you have a Honeywell switch which supports the same functionality, you’ll want to change the filter or remove it.
The first blueprint allows defining any generic set of actions for each double tap operation.
The second blueprint is a specialization for auto-dimming a light entity. I configure all of my GE switches to set their connected load to 100% brightness on double-tap on, and 25% brightness on double tap off. The blueprint allows setting a configurable brightness for each tap. Due to a limitation with blueprints, it cannot automatically select the trigger device as a target, instead a light entity must be chosen (in my case the entity associated with the device).
