ctviggen1 Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 I had to reinstall my Z-wave devices after getting a new Z-wave board. I have three Jasco/GE z-wave in-wall smart fan controllers. When you add these, you get a "multilevel switch" with three "switches": What I have done is rename the top one and left the other two with that prefix, e.g., "Master bedroom fan...". I then link this via Amazon echo so you can say "Alexa, turn on the master bedroom fan at 50% power" or the like. (With these, there's a low speed, 33% power, and high speed, 100%, for Alexa...but no medium speed. That is, you can ask for low or high speed...but not for medium speed. But, if you ask for 50% power, you'll get 67% power.) Anyway, why are there three "switches"? And why does only the top-level switch have this: The other two "switches" have nothing on this menu. Why? And does anyone know what these values mean? This was originally set so that "on" was 0%, so when I turned this "on", nothing happened. I set to 100%, turned it "on", and the fan came on at high speed.

In the past, I have just ignored them, since everything works as desired without touching them. As long as there's nothing I "should" be doing with these nodes, I probably will just ignore them.
