GE Light switch LED defaulted to Never

[mcvoss]

I had a weird thing happened the other day. I have about 1 dozen GE light switches, that have been installed for a couple years. They were not installed at the same time but in various stages. and 6 Ceiling Fan switches. The LED light, on all of the light switches, defaulted to never. The fans stayed as programmed. I use the default DH on the switches and I use “Z-Wave Smart Fan Control” DH on the fans. The switches all worked fine it was just odd the LED’s on all defaulted to never,
Anyone else notice this, did ST change the DH?

Thanks,

Michael

You can go into the ST app and change the LED status to ON, OFF or never ON. The GE zigbee version is not as good by default. You have only ON when light off or never ON.

I’ve had a few of mine change randomly as well. I have them all set to LED On when switch is Off, but I noticed awhile ago that a few lost their setting and a couple even reversed so the LED was on with switch on. No idea what caused it.

I actually keep track of this and 90% of the time caused by platform upgrade.

It happened to me this week.

You can actually switch the LEDs on the GE ZigBee version with a combination of presses on the switch. See the post below.

Possible to turn off the Blue LED on GE ZigBee power switch?

LED ParametersTo assist with locating the Smart Switch in a dark room, the LED glows blue when the Smart Switch is turned OFF. To turn LED off/restore LED:Tap top rocker (ON Switch) 3x quickly and then tap bottom rocker (OFF Switch) 1x. Follow the same series of button presses used to disable the LED to restore

I know but only for LED on when light Off or never ON.

That’s when it happened to me. Changing it i,back s not the issue. Why they all changed by themselves is the question.

I have a GE 12722 that I installed a few months ago. LED light was operational at first but suddenly stopped working. Truth be told, the wiring job initially was less than ideal, but I rewired everything recently. I tried setting different options for the LED, but no change. My last try will be to possibly reset, exclude, & reassociate, but might not be worth it as I actually prefer always off. Just odd how it would just stop working

Same here. It has happened to the same switch a couple of times for me. All by itself. It’s concerning that it happens like that.

Anyupdate to this issue in 2018/2019 year? I just installed 3 new on/off switch and in process of program to ST, the led indicator went to power off when light switch is of and on , with on

If your switches are GE Z Wave Plus, this device handler you should be able to control how the LED works, along with utilizing the double tap feature which is very handy if you have a use for it.

[OBSOLETE] Jasco/GE Z-Wave Plus On/Off Switch (14291) With Double-Tap and Associations

I just created a DTH for the new GE Z-Wave Plus On/Off Switches. Features included: Option to change the indicator status from the main page Commands to change the indicator status (useful for changing from CoRE) Option to change the inverted setting from the main page Commands to change the inverted setting (useful for changing from CoRE) Ability to add associations to groups 2 and 3 from the configuration page Exposes the double-tap feature of the switch as a button (useful for triggering events in CoRE)

If you need any info on how to use the handler just let me know.
