eas1205 Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 I just received and installed the 500 series zwave controller and upgraded to 5.3. I'm currently converting everything I have to Zwave. I noticed when I add a simple GE zwave dimmer switch to the ISY it creates 3 separate devices. It adds the switch itself and then "Basic Scene Ctl 2 and basic scene Ctl 3". What is the purpose of these extra items? Do I need them or can I remove them from the ISY?
lilyoyo1 Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 They can be removed. You'll see different nodes pop up from time to time that can be deleted

As often happens, I learned something from @lilyoyo1 This being said, I put my "unknown" nodes in a separate folder for just in case. 2
TexMike Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 I'm not sure about GE, but for Homeseer dimmers the scene nodes are for detecting multitap up/down. Might be the same for GE.
