ISY Newbie Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 I’ve integrated ISY with Alexa, and they seem to work well. One oddity, however, is that the LED status lights on a dimmer wall switch don’t change accordingly. For example, the LED status lights don’t reach the top even when I have Alexa turn on the ceiling lights. Is this a known issue?
lilyoyo1 Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 It's not a bug. What's your firmware and UI? Is the switch part of a scene or program? I'd it an insteon or zwave dimmer The more details you provide the better we can assist you

Set that to 100% in the devices status page or IIRC you can manually ramp the On level by using the paddle held until the light is at 100%. Think of it as a memory of the last level it was left at. To guarantee 100% you can also use Fast On also but no ramping will happen. (instantaneous) Edited January 22, 2020 by larryllix

It's an insteon dimmer, which I have Alexa switch on/off individually, not part of a scene or program.

lilyoyo1 Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 I'd follow the advice from larryllix above. If the switch is set for 100%, I would factory reset it and then restore it in the isy
larryllix Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) Have a look at the SwitchLinc's status page in the admin console. See what the "On" level is set to. You can adjust this in the admin console as well as on the SwichLinc. I do this on purpose for my bathroom lights in the night, so when I tap the paddle up they only go to 12%. If I tell Alexa to turn them on, they go to 12%. The remembered ON level is a feature. Edited January 22, 2020 by larryllix
oberkc Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) I also suspect it could depend on whether the “device” you added, and are now trying to control, is an individual device or a scene (or an alexa group). Edited January 22, 2020 by oberkc
