Lamp ramps down, but instant on using minimote

GE/ Jasco 14294 smooth dimming to a specific level

Just commenting here because I’ve struggled with this for a while. SetLevel commands are instant and it’s obnoxious when scenes are running, do to the delay in lights. It was like light bombs going off around the house. As of today, None of the “enhanced” device handlers provide configuration for newer (2015+) GE dimmers to actually ramp on setLevel changes. However, there is a hidden parameter not listed in the advanced config by the manufacturer. This param sets the ability to actually ramp on setLevel changes. Ie “set level to 90%” by default would be instant this param allows it to slow ramp. Parameter 6 Value: 1 (Value 0 (default) =instant, 1=ramp) Length 1 byte Now the dimmer will slow ramp when setting specific values, not just Turn on/Off commands. I don’t use the enhanced dr…

FYI,
Ramping with setLevel is possible it just wasn’t an exposed “published” parameter.

Param 6 , value = 0 , length = 1 (instant set level default)
Param 6 , value = 1 , length = 1 (ramp on set level)
