[HowTo] Trap events from Remotes and Sensors (ZME WALLC S)

Last tested with: v2.2.1
OBJECTIVE: I have used one button pair to switch by association one of my binarySwitches. That works fine. I would like to use the second button pair to control a switch in an adjacent building that is on a different ZWay controller. That can indeed be done with help of the Apps SwitchControlGenerator (now named: Trap events from Remotes and Sensors), ImportRemoteHA, and IFTHEN, a remote Duwi wall plugin switch was controlled by the 2-4 button pair.
First I added the App that imports devices on a remote ZWay installation. The only thing I did was fill the fields as in the image below (click for full view)
Next I installed the App Trap events from Remotes and Sensors. In my case the remote is a ZME_WALLC_S dual button wall controller by ZWave>me.
As said In the WallC-S I do use the buttons 2 and 4 to be captured. Therefor I set the following configuration parameters for that device
Nº 2 - Button 2 and 4 pair mode: Seaparately
Nº 12 - Command to Control Group B: Central Scene to Gateway
Nº 14 - Command to Control Group D: Central Scene to Gateway
A while after the install of the App, I went to this device and pushed the button at all four corners of the device. The image below shows the virtual devices that were generated.
Finally I created two IFTHEN rules for on and off respectively.
For the experts: Thne image above was created with a JSON viewer (In editor Notepad++ plugin JSTools) Look under instances in file
Copy that file to a safe place and open it there.
