All my Leviton DZPD3 Dimmers Have Died

Yea, same here. Only the "Generic Z-Wave Smart Dimmer" works with the DZPD3. Any other Hubitat driver causes the 10% dim crash. At that point, it may or may not respond to exclusion and the only way to fix it is a factory reset of the device. I don't know about using the front panel button to cause the issue as I haven't tested this.

I'd be willing to send one to the Hubitat guys to figure out what's going on.

@JoeJ reached out to me to see if I would make a custom driver for this dimmer.
If you have used my ZEN dimmer switch drivers before, I cloned that and adapted it to this dimmer plug. You get with this full parameters support and my awesome brightness correction feature, more info: [DRIVER] Zooz ZEN Switches Advanced (and Dimmers) - #17 by jtp10181

So far in my testing it is rock solid. I do not have an actual lamp handy to plug in :laughing: but I am going to go get a 2-prong cord end tomorrow so I can butcher up a "lamp" from my test rig, which consists of an old brass light fixture connected to whatever I am testing with wire nuts.

This should work for the DZ6HD in wall dimmer as well. If anyone has one and wants to test I can add the fingerprints to this and enable the parameters for it.

Thanks for this. I've been having trouble with my DZ3 DZ6 devices playing nicely with my zooz dimmers. I 'm getting occasional false "On 10%" status so I'm hoping this will straighten things out.

Thanks . Installed the driver yesterday. Was a no brainer. It fixed dimmers stuck at 10% with the generic driver. Only issue is that configuration items did not appeared at first, I had to hit the configure choice to see them appear.

Thats normal, the driver has to read some of the stored data to determine what device you have, to present the correct settings. It can only do that when you save or configure, just swapping the driver and saving doesn't trigger anything to run in the code.

Glad it fixed the problem!

Hi folks... New here. I bought 4 of the DZPD3 and all of them will not go past 10%.. What's the latest fix??

Are you using my driver posted above? [DRIVER] Leviton Dimmers (DZPD3 / DZ6HD)
