Posted May 13, 201510 yr Ok - making my way along... currently have a few things set up and generally working pretty nicely. However - I can't figure out how to set ramp rate. (I'm hoping to do this from the Java app.) The two switches I'm trying to set are both Leviton DZPD3-1LWs. In the instructions for the ISY, it seems to say that the ramp rate can be adjusted via sliders - but I don't see that anywhere. (Yet...) Is this correct? If so, where is the setting actually? thanks, Andrew
May 13, 201510 yr You sure your dimmers support ramp rate adjustment? I know Insteon dimmers do, but never seen a Z Wave dimmer to support that.
May 13, 201510 yr Author Oh, maybe not... didn't know until now that z-wave dimmers might not have this feature...
May 15, 201510 yr The GE/Jasco dimmer switches have the ability to adjust the ramp rate but is accessed via several configuration parameters. To calculate a specific ramp rate is quite complex and the instructions that come with the switch are difficult to figure out. I actually wanted instant on/off and spent a lot of time figuring it out.
May 16, 201510 yr Andyf0, thanks! I pulled GE dimmer manual and yeah - they have the ability to adjust rate by setting variables - 7,8 and 9,10 in this case http://www.lowes.com/campaign/iris/pdf/45639%20manual%20ENG.pdf Defaults look like 1% every 30ms which should mean 3s ramp rate? Andrew, can you tell us your exact dimmer model? Is manual available online? See if manual says anything about variables to control the rate.
