Hey All,

Long time z-wave user, first time hubitat user. All of my devices are set up, apps are running, but any time I adjust my lights via google integration by saying "turn XX light on" or via hubitat devices page, it always sets my lights to 4% brightness. I can't figure it out, but when i toggle "on" or say on via google, i'd like the light to turn to 100% (0r 99%) brightness.

Thanks! log below.

Welcome to the community!

Have a look at this thread to post screenshots.
Much easier to understand what's happening with your situation.

Thanks for the tips. I joined the owners group, and read through all of the z-wave help guides and troubleshooting, but I am still not seeing how to solve this. I didn't see how I am supposed to post in a different group/thread, so I apologize if I need to be doing that...

Essentially, If I click the switch to turn the light on, if I turn it on via the devices page in Hubitat, or if I turn it on with Google using my voice, it always goes to level 4. I have tried setting it to 99, turning it off, and turning it back on.... for some reason it always goes back to 4. This time it actually went to 6 instead. I am lost....

First question.
What is the brand model of the light/switch?

Second.
What do the device events show?

Also...

@Tinkz-wave

if I turn it on with Google using my voice

How is the light integrated with Google Home? Is it via Hubitat's GH App or some other method?

[Tinkz-wave]

It's a GE/Jasco Z-wave plus switch, not sure exactly what specific model number though. I did not check device events, they just show command called ((off)) and ((on)) when I was toggling. Via digital (Google) physical and command.

[Tinkz-wave]

It is with the Google standard integration through the "works with Google" page.

So even if you click it on physically it is doing the same thing?

Please post the info from the device page > Device Info > Device Data section
Looking for the Type, ID and Manufacturer mainly.

Also what driver are you using? (From the main device list it is in the Type column, and a custom driver will say "user" by it)

If its a new-ish device, it may work with my universal dimmer driver which will scan the device for all its settings. There might be a setting causing it to default to 4% which you could change with this driver: [DRIVER] Universal Z-Wave Drivers (Switch/Dimmer)

It's a GE/Jasco Z-wave plus switch, not sure exactly what specific model number though.

Depending on the model, you might want to try this custom driver:

[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 …

[Tinkz-wave]

Custom driver worked! Was able to update... Somehow the parameter was set default to a low value. Was able to change that to default to 99 unless last set was lower.

Thanks all.

[jtp10181]

Curious which driver you ended up using?
