GE Z-Wave Plus Smart Dimmer - Turns Off and then On again

[mbaran]

I have an odd issue with one of my GE Z-Wave Plus Smart Dimmers. When running a RM 4.0 rule against it (e.g. turn off all lights at night) it will turn off the light, but still report as "On"

The light itself does not actually come back on, but HE shows it as "On". This bounce happens very quickly, a hundred milliseconds. Any ideas how I can possibly protect against this?

Getting the light to show "Off" again was something I was able to do by just using a refresh command against it, I didn't have to physically/digitally tell the switch to turn on or off. I am using the stock Generic Z-Wave Smart Dimmer device type.

I am using the stock Generic Z-Wave Smart Dimmer device type.

Might want to take a look at one of the user drivers. I know mine shouldn't do that, as I was careful to take the dimming speed into account with the level & OFF reporting.

If it is the non-quick fit / shallow mount verson then:

[RELEASE] GE/Jasco Z-Wave Plus Dimmer Driver

GE/Jasco Z-Wave Plus Dimmer Driver I got tired of the generic built-in driver missing features that are on the GE/Jasco dimmers. This was derived from the ST device handler, but mostly re-written at this point as there were a number of problems with the one I started with. NOTE 1: This is for the toggle/paddle GE/Jasco Z-Wave Plus Dimmers only. It will not work with the non Z-Wave Plus models (12xxx), it will not work with any non-dimmer model, and it will not work with the Motion Dimmer (2693…

If it is the new quick fit/shallow mount then it would be:

[RELEASE] GE 4xxxx / ZW3010 Enbrighten Z-Wave Plus Dimmer Driver

GE Enbrighten Z-Wave Plus Dimmer Driver The new GE Enbrighten devices are just different enough from the old that I wanted to make a new driver that supported the features correctly. NOTE: This is for the toggle/paddle GE Enbrighten Z-Wave Plus Dimmers only (ZW3010 / 46203 / 46564). It will not work with any non Z-Wave Plus GE models (12xxx), it will not work correctly with any other Z-Wave Plus GE models (14xxx). Features: ON/OFF/Level Can set default ON %, both by a parameter setting and …

Switched! I'll let you know how it goes. PS, what is "Dimmer General Settings"?

[JasonJoel]

Not sure offhand, where do you see "Dimmer General Settings" listed?

Oh! That is just the section heading/description of what the following parameters are for. Next one is Association Groups, for example, then Logging.
