Thanks to everyone who responded especially piwtorak for making the effort to copy his screens although the same solution didn’t work consistently for me, piecing together all the suggested options I finally have consistent switch operation (leviton vr106-1LZ) from all four of my VRCZ1 controllers (VRCZ1-1LZ).
For others who are having trouble with this controller here is what worked for me: First re-set, excluded and then included per forum instructions:
http://faq.mios.com/content/1/18/en/how-to-include-a-leviton-scene-controller.html?highlight=unit_name
Note I used the battery based inclusion option and found the time to get a response varied from the instructions and often I had to move the veralite around & very close to get the desired flicker response.
The four controller scenes I created all used the trigger description “press a button” to activate a scene, which is numbered “255” (still don’t know why this number is used)
After setting trigger, selected “advanced” tab and here per OTi@, I finally made a change from what tech support suggested that worked. For “pick a device” I simply selected the device I wanted to control (e.g. 2nd fl hall light switch) and without creating any delays I used the drop down list under “add” to choose “toggle state”.
That’s it. no scene on/off commands. I’m not concerned with using the controller for dimming purposes, but am happily using two different controllers (top of stairs, end of hall) to control the same light switch. Two other controllers use the same set-up to control two other switches.
Toggling without specifying on or off, I assume, removes the requirement for having a controller knowing or being updated about the current state of the light. One push can turn on the light (e.g. going downstairs) and seconds later, the other controller can then turn it off. Later, walking in the reverse direction, a single press of each controller worked as well. Tech support told me this would not be possible if I didn’t wait a minute in between button presses, happily that is not required.
Given the simplicity of the solution it’s curious to me that tech support suggested two different ineffective approaches and over a month never got back to me with a solution that worked. I’ll pass this along to them. It would be nice if they continually confirmed and re-organized solutions according to device & date of implementaton. Thanks again to forum respondents.
