GE / Jasco Smart Dimmer ZW3005

Other Devices & Integrations Lighting & Load Control

Lowe’s has these switches on sale for $10 dollars off and decided to pick up 5. When adding them to Vera there is no model listed so added as a generic z-wave device. After the install I am trying to find a way to add the parameters to the config so I can configure the ramp rate and steps. But I can’t find anything in the advanced/params that would allow me to do the settings. Based on the their web site these are the options but I just need pointing on the best way of doing the configuration:

. When Receiving a Z-Wave Dim Command
Parameter 7 (number of steps or levels)
Parameter 8 (timing of the steps)
Length: 1 Byte
Valid Values:
Parameter 7 (default = 1) Valid Values: 1-99
Parameter 8 (default = 3) Valid Values: 1-255
2. Manual Control Dimming (pressing the Dimmer?s button)
Parameter 9 (number of steps or levels)
Parameter 10 (timing of the steps)
Length: 1 Byte
Valid Values:
Parameter 9 (default = 1) Valid Values: 1-99
Parameter 10 (default = 3) Valid Values: 1-255

Thanks…

Well after some extensive searches I found this article:

[url=https://www.vesternet.com/resources/application-notes/apnt-102]https://www.vesternet.com/resources/application-notes/apnt-102[/url]

It laid out step by step on setting device parameters. Tested with the setting of the blue led and it worked!

Let us know how these devices work in Vera in general, and in Scenes/PLEG specifically. I have a few switches needing change and I could use a price break if they are sale and working in Vera.

So far these switches are working fine. I was able to change the dimming rate and tested that I can enable/disable the blue LED. They are reporting on/off state. I haven’t setup up any PLEG items yet against them but I did put them into the night mode to shut off and that has worked just fine last night. From what I understand that GE/Jasco switches are polled for attributes by Vera for say dimmed state but are immediately reporting on/off state changes.

I just need some direction on the best way to write some code that can dynamaiclly change parameters of these devices since I also have the GE/Jasco motion swtich where I would want programmaticly turn off the motion or the blue led’s.

Thanks.

Do your GE switches have a blue LED that comes on when it’s switched off? Were you able to disable that feature if yours do? I think I may have the same switches also bought from Lowes and the blue light is really bright at night. Also I have another thread about trying to make it so these switches will turn off when they are dimmed to 4% or lower but also set the LoadLevelLast to a set level as it remembers the 4% or lower as the last level set so when I go to turn on the switch again it goes to the low level and turns off because of the PLEG command. Anyway, even if I could get the blue lights to just not come on when turned off that would be incredibly helpful.

Thanks

Update: Never mind about the LED light. I just read how to disable.
