Binary Devices as Dimmers?

Developer's Corner General Dev Discussions
1

While monkeying around with some test code, I inadvertently set the level of a wall receptacle to 70%. Now, Vera and all the controllers that I use to interface with it think that its a dimmer. Any way to fix this and restore it back to being a binary device? Any way to prevent it from happening in the future?

I tried deleting the value (7) from the LoadLevelTarget and LoadLevelStatus variables, but no luck - not is just bombs out in HomeBuddy. Still works in vera’s web UI though.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

IIUC, the solution could be to remove the variable LoadLevelTarget (and LoadLevelStatus) from your device - but I don’t know of a way to remove variables from devices … You should send a trouble ticket and file a bug report at http://bugs.micasaverde.com

BTW, Vera should rely on the Z-Wave capabilities of a device, not on the variables associated with a device …
