Alternate Exclusion is exactly what it says it is. ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](https://community.hubitat.com/images/emoji/apple/slight_smile.png?v=9)
Wouldn't think that would have anything to do with on/off reporting though, so it is interesting you are seeing a difference with that setting changed.
I'll try to collect some data on that when I get a minute. Specifically need to see how adjusting that parameter changes the reporting from the device (if it does).
I could take a couple screenshots of debug logs, if that would help.
I can try it on one of mine 1st. I have a ton of them laying around unused (paddle tyle, not toggle - but same thing firmware-wise).
Yup, you are right... Makes little sense to me, but it wouldn't be the 1st time there was something 'weird' in the Jasco firmware...
FYI @bcopeland
On the new style "Enbrighten"/GE/Honeywell/UltraPro devices...
- Setting Alternate Exclusion Parameter 19=0 (the default value) yields 1-3s delay on physical ON/OFF reports.
- Setting Alternate Exclusion Parameter 19=1 yields more/less instant ON/OFF reports (both central scene and SwitchMultiLevel).
Firmware quirk I think... I can't imagine that was by design.
In any case I'll add that setting to my drivers, and make a note in the corresponding thread. It needs to be a manually selected option, though, as I don't think it would be proper for the driver to automatically change pairing behavior on a device.
Good find!

Thanks.
I just changed 5 associated switches in the basement, and they work fast as well. As expected, but verified.
