Leviton VRE06-1LZ Z-Wave Dimmer Doesn't Update from Digital Inputs

Hi All,
I have a large quantity of Leviton VRE06-1LZ Z-Wave Dimmers and I'm finding a quirk using the Generic Z-Wave Smart Dimmer....

Physical switch changes register back to the hub very quickly and accurately.

Digital changes via Device Control or Homebridge: Change gets sent, executes on the device correctly, but the hub doesn't seem to get the status update that the switch has changed status or dim level changed.

I believe these older Leviton switches use the hail command. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with this or not.

Is there a better driver I should be using? Both Vera and ST played nicely with these switches, so I know there's a way...

Thanks for any insight or ideas, much appreciated!
Jon
