BUG or Misconfiguration: Generic Z-Wave Plus Dimmer Driver and Honeywell Plug in Dimmer Switch loses State

I have a routine to set the Honeywell Z-Wave Plus Dual Outlet Plug-In Dimmer (ZW3107) at a certain dim level (on) over 30 seconds from the off state. At the end of the fade period and beyond, the device still continues to show off in Hubitat. I have to manually control it to get the state back in sync.

If I use the Generic Z-Wave dimmer driver (non-plus), the states are in sync but I do not get the fade functionality.

As an fyi, I have another dimmer switch (HomeSeer WD-200 Dimmer) that this routine does the same thing to but the state syncs perfectly (not using the generic z-wave plus dimmer driver).

Does anyone else have this issue or is there something I can do to further troubleshoot/resolve this issue?

@bobbyD Do you know what device driver I should use for the Honeywell UltraPro Z-Wave Plus Smart Light Dimmer Switch, Dual Outlet Plug-In | Built-In Repeater Range Extender | ZWave Hub Required - Alexa and Google Assistant Compatible, 39339

Honeywell/UltraPro are Jasco. When in doubt, check out the 6th column on the List of Compatible Devices

Jasco Z-Wave Dual Outlet should work.

Yes I’ll try that. Curious to know whether this being a dimmer outlet will affect the device type being used?

The Jasco Z-Wave dual outlet will not work. I found trying this driver, "Generic Z-Wave Dynamic Endpoint Device". Click Configure after changing drivers to create the child device(s), which should be created as "Generic Component Central Scene Dimmers".

Thanks for the responses. I tried both the above mentioned device types and unfortunately they dont work.

I ended up removing the device as I couldn't get it back from the 'Generic Z-Wave Dynamic Endpoint Device' on my hub. When I paired it again, the hub chose Generic Z-Wave Smart Dimmer which seems to be the correct device type and has solved a lot of the sync issues I had been experiencing.

Sorry for the fuss and thanks again for helping out. FWIW, this Honeywell/Jasco device cannot control each dual outlet individually. FYI.

Ok, the one issue that I had with the "Generic Z-Wave Smart Dimmer " and why I was investigating other device types was that the fade with duration function does not work with this device type driver. It works with the Generic Z-Wave Dimmer but not the start dimmer.

When I set fade from 60 to 0 in 20 seconds it turns off instantly with the Smart Dimmer device type but works appropriately with the non-smart dimmer device type.

Does anyone know whether this is a bug and how I should report it as such?
