Brand new to hubitat but had Control4 in a prior house and got decently ok at programming things to happen. I can't figure out what to do on these Innovelli's though, I've confirmed I have the latest driver, I've made sure they are set to Dimmer not On/Off but haven't successfully got any of them to dim, whether from the switch or the dashboard or hubitat phone app. I was only able to find one thread talking about this sort of issue with the Red Dimmers which said he solved it by opening the z wave parameter table and manually setting 158 to 0...I can't find any detail though showing how to actually get to the paramater table.
Separately I have an issue with only about half my switch rules working under Basic Rules. These are all simple rules like 'when light A turns on, turn on light B" and they work if I do it in the hubitat app, but not if I do them from the physical switch. The odd part is I've set them all up exactly the same way and half of them do work from the switches.
Any help is appreciated!
Welcome to the forums!
I see you said you had the correct driver installed, but did the driver actually get set in each switch? Are the ones that are working using the same driver (Device Type) in the device settings page?
Maybe you could tell what driver version number you have, and the author (assuming a community driver?) With many of these devices there are many drivers floating around in various places.
You might have conflated something you read here, but I think I know what you are asking.
Some drivers expose all the potential settings within the settings page for each device. Other drivers only give you basic settings in those device pages.
In that second scenario, you may have to use a different driver temporarily to set these parameters. You change to that temp driver, send the Z-wave commands, and then swap back to the correct driver. While not dangerous, you need to be sure what you are setting with that method.
Once you tell us what driver you are using, and confirm that all devices are set for the same driver, we can see if there is a easier to use or updated driver, or whether you have to use the "settings" driver to check/set these parameters.

I'm using the one straight from Inovelli's help site and in the Driver's code section it lists all the Red switches I have in the "Used By" column for that driver. I don't see a version but the date for the latest update to the driver at the top is 8/7/24.
The actual manual driver link is:

I think I may have fixed at least the dimming part. I read through the actual little printed manual for one of the switches and it said to hold down and tap the settings button 3 times on the switch to change it to Dimmer. This seems to work I just need to do it for each physical switch.
Ok it looks like that might be the other issue as well, some areas I originally never changed to dimmer and those are the ones where the basic rules work. Manually changing the physical switches to dimmer (via the hold down and 3x push settings) when they are set to Dimmer in Hubitat seems to have fixed the basic rules. I guess if its set to Dimmer in Hubitat but not the physical switch, its only acting as a dumb switch.
