I’ve installed several GE ZWave Plus Dimmer Switches (14292) and when I turn them on via the alarm.com they jump directly to the dimmer level specified instead of ramping up like when I manually press the switch. It would be nice to have them ramp up or down when the light is pressed on/off in the app. Is this currently possible?
Typically, a compatible dimmer will behave as desired (with the light “ramping up” to the desired brightness percentage) via commands sent from the mobile app or web. There is no toggle in ADC to turn on/off the fade/brightness on a dimmer switch.
To clarify, all of the Jasco dimmers behave the same way?
What types of bulbs are you using?
Tyler,
Yes all of the Jasco dimmers behave the same. I can confirm that the lights do ramp down with the off command, but they do not ramp up with the on command (like they do when I press the switch manually). The switches are being used with LED dimmable can lights, Feit or Halo brand I’m not sure.
Does the same happen if you replace the LED bulb with a regular incandescent?
The LEDs are sealed in the can light fixture.
We aren’t seeing the same activity out of an incandescent, so it may be the bulb type. We’ll do some digging. If you are able to test that same switch on an Incandescent bulb in some way that would be more definitive.
