The firmware update didn't go through. Spent a lot of time on it but no joy. Dont know what else to do at this point. Maybe I'll try excluding and waiting a day or so before including.
So, I guess you have to re-include the device after firmware upgrade. I did a factory reset on it before including it again though. Now, it shows up as a "Generic Smart Scene Dimmer" and when I switch to the Enbrighten driver (may not need to), all functions work along with proper reporting.
Phew...this was an adventure I do not want to repeat but over all a great success
