I've been experimenting with the HS210 with a multimeter. I noticed when I don't have a load on either traveler that each leg has 120 volts when the manual switch is clicked. But the non powered side shows 110v. If I attach a load (light bulb) it drops to about 5v from the 110v. What's going on?
I'd like to use the HS210 as a SPDT switch to guide power to a High or Low leg on a fan motor. I can achieve this with a 3 way manual switch. If I can get this to work properly with the HS210 I can do it via wifi and not have to manually touch the swtich. I've noticed that sometimes the switch will send power to one traveler and then jump to the other shortly after powering up. I'm using an HS200 to control power to the HS210 line feed.
I noticed they don't necessarily act like a SPDT manual switch. I noticed when they are powered up in certain scenarios the light will turn on one traveler and then jump to the other traveler even though the switch isnt touched. I've narowed this down to the right traveler when looking at the switch from the front (button side). If I connect a light to it and power up the HS210 it will flash and then turn off. The left terminal doens't behave this way.
Firmware fix???

@proxybox Not sure l answered this problem but are you using the HS210 as a single switch to control the fan? Not in a 3 way setup?
If so, just Try moving the fan wire to the other travler post.

@proxybox Sorry about so many replys,
If you are using the HS210 as a single fan switch, no second 3way switch there should be only 1 wire to the LOAD/LINE and 1 wire to the Traveler contacts. and the White to the white neutral in the box. If you move the wire to the other Travler N.O. contact it should be fan off and light off. See previous pictures.
