Hi everyone,
I'm running a Hubitat C-8 Pro with several Inovelli Red Series dimmers (LZW31-SN).
I'm seeing an issue where multiple switches have stopped generating button events for scene control even though Hubitat is still receiving the Z-Wave Central Scene notifications.
Symptoms
My automations use Inovelli double-tap up actions.
Example:
Plain Text
1
Button 2 Double Tapped
2
→ Turn on lights to 100%
Show more lines
The automations were previously working correctly.
Now the automation no longer fires.
What I'm seeing in the logs
For affected switches:
Plain Text
1
parse description: zw device: 08, command: 5B03, payload: 18 83 02
2
3
skipped CentralSceneNotification(keyAttributes:3, sceneNumber:2)
Show more lines
and
Plain Text
1
parse description: zw device: 08, command: 5B03, payload: 19 83 02
2
3
skipped CentralSceneNotification(keyAttributes:3, sceneNumber:2)
Show more lines
So the switch is clearly transmitting Central Scene notifications and Hubitat is receiving them.
The problem is that the driver is not converting them into button events.
What a working switch looks like
I had the same problem on a Great Room Can Lights Inovelli Red dimmer.
I factory reset the switch, excluded it, re-included it, and reconfigured it.
After that, the exact same scene command now generates:
Plain Text
1
parse:zw device: 0A, command: 5B03, payload: 18 83 02
2
3
Great room can lights button 2 doubleTapped

and the automation works correctly.

The Z-Wave payloads appear identical.
What I've already checked
Hubitat receives Central Scene notifications
Z-Wave routes look healthy
No failed nodes
Device responds normally to on/off/dimming
Configure button run multiple times
Saved preferences
Changed driver away from Inovelli and back
Reconfigured device
Rebooted switch using air-gap
Verified automations still exist
None of these restored button events.
Additional information
Affected switches:
Kitchen Pendant Lights
Kitchen Can Lights
Previously affected:
Great Room Can Lights
Great Room Can Lights was fixed only after:
Factory reset switch
Exclude device
Re-include device
Reconfigure
I would rather not factory reset and re-pair multiple switches every time this occurs.
Questions
Has anyone seen Inovelli Red Series dimmers stop generating button events while still receiving Central Scene notifications?
What conditions cause:
Plain Text
1
skipped CentralSceneNotification(...)
Show more lines
instead of creating a button event? 3. Is this a known issue with the built-in Inovelli Z-Wave Smart Dimmer driver on C-8 Pro? 4. Is there a way to rebuild button capabilities/device state without excluding and re-including the switch?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks!
