I saw some thread about a z-wave light switch that has a status for double click. It is then possible to trigger events when the light switch is double clicked. I looked at my Cooper Wiring 9540 and 9542 switches in HS device manager and I don't see any such status value. Is there a way to trigger events based on double 'clicks' on those switches short of using scripts?

Poor mans central scene. You could create a counter each time a switch was turned on, include a delayed event to reset counter to zero after some timeframe 1 min perhaps. Then create an event that if the counter becomes 2 or 3 or whatever you perform some action.
Now the drawback. You would need to figure out the average time it takes for the on status to be recorded by homeseer so you knew how long you had to pause between on and off and on again. This would likely be significantly longer than a switch with a central scene.HS4 Pro on Shuttle NC10U, Win10; Z-NET

If the switch doesn't support the extra clicks then what JMaddox suggested also works well. I do this to turn the gazebo outdoor outlet that controls our gazebo lights.
Turn the deck lights on. I then have an event that fires on the deck lights had it status set to On, with the condition that the deck lights are on - which then executes the command to turn the gazebo lights on. I do this with off too.
Make sure you set both the events to not re-trigger within a second or two otherwise, the lights might go on and off rapidly.Dan-O
