I3 Paddles and Resume Dim in a Multi-Way Config

Has anyone with I3 paddles tried using "resume dim" in a multi-way switch configuration?  I have several groups of I3 paddles, and in each group there is one I3 controlling the load (i.e., the master) and others acting as secondary controllers via a scene.

If I enable "resume dim" for all of the switches in the group/scene, I can dim the lighting from any of the switches, and the master (if turned off and back on) will remember and resume the dimming level as expected.  But if I turn off/on any of the secondary controller switches, they do not resume the dimming level and, instead, the brightness goes to whatever the on level was set at for those switches in their configuration.

Perhaps this is a relatively new function and it isn't fully implemented yet, but it would be nice if "resume dim" worked in a multi-way configuration.  Just checking to see if anyone else has observed this, or if a solution or workaround might exist.

I do have several N-ways but no resume dim.

What I have noticed on the i3 paddle flags is that value presented by iox is not what's actually in the switch. Have had several "hmmm?" moments on that. The way to check is to go to the flags value for one of the responders and see if resume dim is what you think it should be.... Then press Query while on the flags value. What happens?

In either case, press the resume dim button in the flags again to force the setting to the switch

One that got me was "disable rf". I have an i3 paddle in a far away location and it was not communicating properly. On querying the flags, Disable RF was on(?) and the approach I described above fixed it.
