Issue with GE 45857 Zigbee Dimmer after 2.2.4 Update

After updating to 2.2.4, I am unable to use the 'Turn On & Set level' command within a Simple Automation Rules app on my GE Dimmers. Pure switches are fine and GE Z-wave dimmers are OK. For the GE Zigbee Dimmer, 'Turn On' works fine. Also, by using the device interface I can turn 'On' and then 'Set Level' without problem. But the combination command doesn't turn on my in-wall switch. I've tried many different settings on the 'device' page... like: different transition times, pre-staging en…

If level prestaging is turned off, and the device is already off. Any set level command will turn the device on, there is no need to send a level and a separate on command.

The above statement is not true for me. Issuing a level from driver page creates no ON state. This in turn causes the GE zigbee dimmer driver to not work as a dimmer in Room Lighting. Switching driver to Generic Zigbee dimmer will allow this fine switch to work, but with limited features. Is anyone using a custom GE zigbee driver more recently ported from Smartthings? One seems to exist but I can't seem to lay fingers on it.

I have a building full of these model 43082 and 43080 both will send an on event from off with a simple setLevel(××) command.
What model are you dealing with?

43082 and 43080

Mine has the same firmware as well.
When you're switching drivers you are clicking configure correct?

I'm a bit insulted, but I get why you ask - standard question.
Yes. I button Mash. Generally when I switch drivers I switch first to 'Device'. button mash, then switch to the intended target. Thats how I learned Device doesn't clear preferences recently.... btw.

Can you post the debug logs using the ge driver after exrcuting off and then setlevel 50?
