epete Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 I have two Micro Dimmers. One connected to my Front Porch Light and the other to my backyard patio light. I have then both setup in the same program to turn on at sunset and both to turn off at 1:30 AM The back light works fine The front has never turned itself on I was playing around today and noticed Pushing the On button from the Administrative Console does not turn the light on I assume that is the same as the on command in the program. When i use Fast On, the light comes on. It does not look like a communication / interference problem as that would be intermittent and I should see the same effect for fast on. I also note that the off command always works. So for about a month, I have been manually turning the light on and the program has been properly shutting it off.
G W Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 Check the On level the one that doesn't come on. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk
epete Posted November 4, 2017 Author Posted November 4, 2017 That was one of my first thoughts as well. The state stays "off" and the on stays at zero. While I am checking this I am also noticing when it is on and at 100% from the fast on button, clicking the on shuts it off. Maybe I have the device in a different mode.
epete Posted November 4, 2017 Author Posted November 4, 2017 I compared the settings on both micro dimmers. They are the same. And the back one operates properly. Really strange.
G W Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) On is setting it to 0% Do keep looking in that area. I'm guessing it's in a Scene. Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk Edited November 4, 2017 by Gary Funk
epete Posted November 4, 2017 Author Posted November 4, 2017 ok, so I see I can change the program to use the fast on command. I will see if this work around fixes the problem

epete Posted November 4, 2017 Author Posted November 4, 2017 ok, Clicking on the device and looking at the membership it does not show any connections.
epete Posted November 4, 2017 Author Posted November 4, 2017 OK, so it thinks on is on at 0%. Is that what you are telling me? This was a refurb, not sure if that may have something to do with it.
G W Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 When you click on the Micro Dimmer in the Left Panel, what is the On Level in the Right Panel?
epete Posted November 5, 2017 Author Posted November 5, 2017 OK, right now the state says Off but the level is 100%. I was downstairs at the switch and manually turned it on.
epete Posted November 5, 2017 Author Posted November 5, 2017 OK, I think I understand what you are trying to tell me. However there are three levels 1. On Level 2. Current State 3. On Level [Applied Locally] I believe the level I set locally is the level it should always default to using the On button, correct? Unless as you mentioned there is some interaction with a scene.

epete Posted November 5, 2017 Author Posted November 5, 2017 (edited) ok, by you forcing me to type that out, I figured it out. It was my local level causing the problem. Thank You The on level [applied locally] was set at 0 and needed to be set at 100 Edited November 5, 2017 by epete

epete Posted November 5, 2017 Author Posted November 5, 2017 Thanks. With X10, there just weren't that many variables. Now there are several that all interact with each other. I guess I am still stuck in those x10 days.
