I looked through previous posts and couldn't find anything.
My light switch that's been installed for 2-3 years all of a sudden the the switching action inverted.
now top is off and bottom is on. dimming up/down as well.
Don't know if someone inadvertently changed something through random on/offs or what.
didn't see any reverse option in HE, using generic dimmer Z- Wave driver.
any help is appreciated.

First, while I have other GE/Jasco switches and dimmers (26931, 26933, both using the excellent component drivers by @JasonJoel ), I don’t have your particular dimmer, but I might be able to point you in the right direction.
The dimmer has a parameter that, when set, does exactly the inversion you describe. It’s possible that a power glitch caused the dimmer to get confused, or it’s possible (unlikely) that an undocumented change in the driver caused a change in a recent firmware update. I looked through the most recent release note and hot fix comments for 2.2.3, didn’t see any changes mentioned for the generic driver.
Possible things to try:
(1) exclude, then reset to factory defaults, then include. This should put it back to out-of-box state. If you’ve got a C-7, you could do a replace include, which would put it back at the same DNI.
(2) try a user driver, perhaps one exposes this invert parameter, then switch back (or not) to the generic driver;
(3) use Mike Maxwell’s Basic Z-Wave Tool to change that parameter.
Hope this gets you going in the right direction.
thank you! removed, excluded, installed, working normal again. did have weird power failure that screwed up my ATT router same day, didn't put 2 and 2 together...
Works!!!
