Correct. I have had success using the built-in "Generic Z-Wave Smart Dimmer" driver to control the dimmer portion of the device. Remember to hit "configure" on the device page after changing the driver and saving...
Third try was the charm. Both are up and semi running

9 bulbs seems like a lot and it's possible the dimmer may be overloading. It's only rated for 75 W of LEDs. Do you happen to know the Wattage on each of the bulbs?
I guess I remembered wrong it’s 8 bulbs and they are 6 watts each
Wattage looks fine there, it may be an issue with the driver. The bypass would only help with no-neutral set-ups since it acts as a dummy load. This seems to be a driver problem, would you happen to have the brand and model of the bulbs?
This doesn't show us the dimmer requirements unfortunately (it would usually be mentioned in the specs or manual). Have you controlled these bulbs with a dimmer before?
No before it was on a two paddle switch one for the fan and one for the lights
FYI, I had to go buy new faceplates since the old ones were too small. Never had that happen before.
It's possible that the bulbs require a special type of driver compatibility then (LED bulb dimming driver, not Hubitat driver in this context just to clarify!). Unfortunately, there's nothing on the software side that can be done about this. Would it be at all possible to try a different set of bulbs in this location?
@napalmcsr Can you get in touch with our support to describe the issue? Did you have to buy a special type of plate? We haven't heard of any issues with wall plates and the paddle is the same exact standard size as on other wall switches we compared it to so it would be great if you could send an image or a description of the problem to the support team so we can take a closer look at it. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
Sorry, but I threw away my old plates, and bought new ones that fit just fine. I figured I had builder grade switch plates, that I could replace for a dollar a piece.
I'll try new bulbs after the holidays. Happy Holidays! Thanks.

I know you said before about no ETA for a driver for the ZEN30 switch. I know that it has been mentioned an official HE driver is coming in the near future but I was wondering if you are close to releasing a ST version of the driver so someone could port a driver to HE soon.
I don't want to install my switches until drivers are available. I have tried the generic smart drivers with not a lot of success.
Thanks.
The ST driver should be ready around January 6th. Everything goes a little slower around the Holidays which I know is disappointing since this is precisely when you guys have more time to test and take on new projects. We hope to see the official driver in the next release but nothing has been confirmed yet. As I mentioned before, Hubitat is great in releasing frequent updates and integrating products quickly so it shouldn't be much longer!

Not unless it got overloaded. What was the Wattage of the bulbs connected to it?
I think we are taking through email and we can work it there.
Sorry reading through old thread -
Are you using a Lutron Pico to control fan speed? Is this for a combination light/fan? What controls the lights?
I'm reading through old thread, can these be used for light/fan with no neutral?
