I use the switch linc dimmers. One is v4.5 and the other is v4.1 that show the problem.

I've had this issue from time to time with LED bulbs. I just replaced a bulb with a 100 watt bulb in a fixture with a couple other bulbs. I hadn't noticed flickering before. Now the new bulb flickers, alot. I suspect that the Triac in the dimmer is probably not always turning on. I'll try to get a scope on the socket and see if this is the issue. There are bulbs that are called flicker-free. Has anyone used these bulbs and seen any improvement? I have two switches that exhibit flickering (different circuits) one is a v4.5 and the other is v4.1. Are any of these switches known to have issues with LED flickering?

Appreciate all the offers to help - great community.

I did get this working. Documenting what I have in case it helps anyone. I'm using a routine in alexa to run entrymonvar program on ISY Anytime the front door sees motion, alexa turns on the entrymonvar program When motion is not seen for 10 minutes alexa turns off the entrymonvar program The entrymonvar program entrymonitorvar - [ID 0010][Parent 0001] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then $motion = 1 Run Program 'axexamontionprog' (If) Else $motion = 0 Run Program 'motionmain' (If) The axexamontionprog axexamontionprog - [ID 0011][Parent 0001] If From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) And $motion is 1 Then Run Program 'motionmain' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') The motionmain program motionmain - [ID 0013][Parent 0001] If $entry_var is 1 Or $motion is 1 Then Set 'Front Entry' On Else Set 'Front Entry' Off And finally the entryvar program entryvar - [ID 0012][Parent 0001] If 'breakkey_a' Status is Off #####(this was the one that was missing)######## Then $entry_var = 0 Run Program 'motionmain' (If) Else $entry_var = 1 Run Program 'motionmain' (If) This seems like overkill to use 4 programs and 2 variables but it does work. The idea here was that the light would stay on if it was turned on by a scene. If motion turned it on, then only the switch was turned on, so I could use the status of another switch in the scene to see that it was motion that turned in on or the switch directly.

What the program did was when there was motion from the Ring, it would turn the front lights on for a couple minutes and toggle them off, but if the light was already on, it would stay on. I used a couple programs to get this to work. I'll post later tonight the actual programs. I think I was directly controlling the switch to turn it on, but looking at the scene to see if it was already on.

I get this message in the program in the if statement. I can't remember what I was looking at. I think it was the status of the switch. How can I tell what condition this was looking for?
