kaveh Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I have a weird issue where if I set the on level of a 2477D dimmer to 1%, everything works as expected and when I go hit the on button the dimmer, it only moves to 1%. However, if I set the on level of the dimmer to 0% in the ISY, then go to hit the on button on the dimmer, the dimmer goes full-on. Is this a known issue? Is there any way around this?

TheWabit Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Are you double tapping the switch maybe? Link to comment
LeeG Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Refer to the device User Guide around pages 9-12 (depends on device firmware), regarding Resume Bright. It can be set to honor the Local On Level setting or use the last On Level. It sounds like it is configured to go to the last On Level. This is set using the configuration steps in the User Guide.

I don't think this is it either. As I said, if I set the switch's local ON level to 1% in the ISY controller, it will only turn it on to 1%. Link to comment
LeeG Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Easy enough to find out. Using a 1% Local On Level, double tap On paddle to go to 100% On. Turn the SwitchLinc Off. Single tap the On paddle, what On Level does the device go to. What is the device firmware level? Link to comment

LeeG Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Thanks. I'll see if i have that level here to test. Are you trying to prevent the On Paddle from working with a 0% On level? As a Responder 0% On Level turns the device Off but I'm not sure the On paddle can be disabled that way. Link to comment
LeeG Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 The nearest I have is a v.44. A 0% Local On Level is ignored (does not disable On paddle) and the device turns On to 100%. When a Responder the device does not turn On but the On paddle always turns the device On to some level. Link to comment

As a Responder 0% On Level turns the device Off but I'm not sure the On paddle can be disabled that way. Basically I'm using this dimmer as a controller to a scene. The dimmer itself also controls a load (light). I have a program set to turn the on-levels of this scene to a lower setting in the middle of the night (so when you get up you don't blind yourself with lights) and back up to the full setting during the day.

LeeG Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Looks like 1% is the lowest Local On Level the On paddle will go with the local load. Link to comment
kaveh Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Looks like 1% is the lowest Local On Level the On paddle will go with the local load. This doesn't make sense. Seems like a bug. Link to comment
LeeG Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 It is a question for Smarthome support but I feel certain the SwitchLinc Local On Level cannot be set to 0% On Level. The effect would be to have the On paddle press have no function as far as turning On the local load. Link to comment
LeeG Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 kaveh Perhaps understanding why the On paddle should turn the SwitchLinc Off would help. It seems setting the local load to 1% would have the same physical effect. Link to comment

It seems setting the local load to 1% would have the same physical effect. The purpose is to adjust the on levels of the lights in a scene such that at night only certain lights in that scene get turned on. 1% still seems like it would try to power the light. It'd be nice to keep it off. Link to comment
Jimbo.Automates Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I'm pretty sure you can set the on level to zero for the scene, just not the local on level? I do this for some motion sensor controlled scenes and it has worked for me. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Link to comment
LeeG Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 kaveh Jimbo is correct, as a Responder to a Scene it can be set to 0% On Level. The Responder On Level is located in the Responder (A2) link record. An ISY Program can issue a Set Scene 'xxxxx' On where Scene 'xxxxx' has the Responder On Level of 0%. The device itself does not support a Local On Level of 0% which would effectively disable the function of the On Paddle. SmartLabs has to consider how the device paddle should function without all this great automation or even with automation should someone press the device On paddle. Link to comment
