I just installed a new GE Z-Wave Dimmer with an Aux switch. I can control it as expected (on/off/dim) from both switches and manually via the app. I added a new lighting automation via Smart Lighting to turn the light on at 20% when motion is detected, but it always just turns the light on the the…

Affected so far is: GE Dimmers GE Link Bulbs 2GIG Dimmers Linear Dimmers Evolve Dimmers Lutron Dimmers That’s pretty much everything. This really sucks, the big hype for v2 was local processing. Most of us install dimmers in every case possible. That said, this bug makes v2 sort of worthless. Th…

Hi Folks, Just wanted to chime in and say that I am also experiencing this same problem. I’ve got a GE Dimmer with smart lighting set to turn on and set level when turning on the light to different levels based on mode. So for example, if the house is in: Day: 80% Dawn & Dusk: 50% Night: 10% Th…

I’ll throw my voice into the mix and say I’m having the same issue as others on the thread. Please fix! Is there a technical reason that is making this difficult to fix? For the meantime, going to try SmartRules as a workaround.

Yep, here you go. The reality here is if the community of user developers didn’t exist this platform would be dead in its tracks. This is core functionality, ST is riding the backs of it’s customers to bridge the gap. I work in this business, there isn’t an ETA because we (the users) have created …

For what it’s worth, a relative of mine bought a whole pile of the OSRAM smart bulbs. They dim flawlessly via Smart Lighting with and without motion triggers. I watched in complete awe as they dimmed with out hesitation. So frustrating…

@btk If you have the time and/or the inclination, try giving this a test. Create a smart lighting rule with your desired light. Set to “On & Set Level”. Dimmer Level 30%. Set trigger to open/close and select a contact. Turn on and Set level when door/contact is open. hit done a few time to create …

I don’t think it is dimming in general broken dimming works fine from the device type in the app or from many smartapps … It DOES not work from the smart lighting smartapp and I think that is the bulk of the issue. too bad the smartlighting smartapp is not one of the public templates or I would fix…

It works from the Smart Lighting app if you follow my steps above. At least it works in my case, local automation and all. The key seems to be to create the rule first with some trigger like a contact sensor, then edit the rule to add motion. Dimming seems to work correctly after that. Even if you…

There’s a good list of steps in the link below. When choosing the device type I personally go with the “Momentary Button Tile” instead of the “simulated switch.”
