Unfortunately, we wouldn't be able to make any guarantees for Amazon's inventory. Their fulfillment centers are beyond anyone's control and products are constantly lost and found, many old returned items are restocked and resold to other customers so it's really difficult to say which version you'll receive. Most likely, it will not be the latest firmware version. If you'd like to get a particular version, get in touch with The Smartest House and they'll make sure you'll receive exactly what you need. If you're looking for 10 or more of a given model, ask for bulk pricing too.
The way our dimmers work is that they'll always turn on to the last brightness level with a single click and they'll go to 100% / full brightness with a double click. If you'd like to turn the dimmer on to a particular brightness at any given time, you'd need to create appropriate automation routines for the logic.
I saw this in a different post and it got me thinking...
"'zw device: 03, command: 2603, payload: 2B ' parsed to [[name:switch, value:on, descriptionText:Kitchen - Over Cabinet Lighting was turned on], [name:level, value:43, descriptionText:Kitchen - Over Cabinet Lighting brightness set to 43, unit:%]]"
If the status reports for the dimmer include the current brightness level setting or if Hubitat just knows what it was the last time it set it digitally. I may have to buy one and play before I decide. I've been all over smartest home's site this morning lol!
The dimmer sends a multilevel report to the hub so anytime it's turned on or off, it will send the brightness level to the hub rather than just an on/off report like simple on/off switches do, that's how it works. Hopefully that answers your question!
Just to clarify, the new firmware allows the relay to be controlled purely by HE and the different button presses are just sent to the hub and can be used for automations there? Does this include 3+-way inputs?
You also mentioned scene control. Do you have any details on how that works for your switches? I would really like to have a way to send an "all-off" scene for my basement lights from the top of the stairs.
If you disable manual control, you won't be able to control the connected load from the Zooz switch OR from the connected 3-way switch. You'll be able to trigger automations (scenes) from the Zooz switch but NOT from the connected 3-way switch.
If you'd like to use scene control, you need to make sure your version (firmware) of the switch features scene control (see change logs for ZEN22 and ZEN27 dimmers), then you'd need to create a scene to turn all selected lights off using the Scenes tool in Hubitat, and finally, to assign the scene to the dimmer, you'd use the Button Controller app in Hubitat.
Does disabling manual control remove the ability for the connected 3-way switch to do anything or are the inputs still captured and sent to Hubitat (meaning they can be used for scene control)?
The connected 3-way switch is not able to send any Z-Wave signal at all. Since it's a regular 3-way switch without any wireless capabilities, it does what it always did so it just reads and switches current, that's about it. Everything else is done by the Zooz switch so if manual control is disabled, none of the wall switches will control the light. Similarly, as mentioned in my previous post, you can only trigger scenes from a Zooz switch since this functionality is separate from main circuit control (therefore, the connected 3-way switch doesn't have access to it at all).
If you'd like to use the "slave" location for scenes as well, you can replace the 3-way switch with another Zooz and REWIRE the set-up so the 2 Zooz switches ARE NOT ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED (like in a standard 3-way) but rather the primary Zooz becomes a single pole switch controlling the light directly while the "slave" Zooz is only powered (so just line and neutral utilized) and acts as a virtual additional control which is programmed strictly via Z-Wave.
