Lights will randomly dim

Hi everyone,
I’ve had GE Zwave Dimmer paddle switches for probably 8 years now. All of a sudden, when triggered by the motion routine, the dimmer will bounce all over the place but always ends at 100. It’s driving me mad trying to figure out why this is happening. It doesn’t happen every time. It mostly happens first thing in the morning and it doesn’t happen again until the next day. I have tried recreating the environment by running the goodnight routine and then triggering the light and it’s only happened once. There is no competing routing that would set it at a different percentage. To reduce complexity I removed the dimming function to just be On/Off but it’s still having the same issue.

You need to figure out if the hub is sending commands to the switch or if the hub is reacting to commands received from the switch. I would use the ST CLI to do driver logging. Also, are you using the stock driver or a community developed driver?

stock driver. will mess around with the cli to see if I can get some debugging logs

Download the CLI to a Linux/Windows/macOS computer and use the command “smartthings edge:drivers:logcat” and select the driver to log. You can also use the “-a” command line option to log all drivers (very verbose though).

You might also try the community developed driver from @csstup that combined all the GE/Jasco work from @philh30. Subscribe to his channel here and install the zwave-switch CS driver.

Same issue, random dimming. Typically don’t notice since it just randomly dims to 96%. GE z-wave on v3 ST.

Yesterday I removed I removed the device from all routines and unpaired it from SmartThings. I re-added the device back to smartthings and to the routines as if it was starting clean. It went crazy this morning. Could it be hardware failure?

It’s certainly looking that way. I see the On command sent to the switch and then the Report back that the switch is on and at what level. But then, a flurry of unsolicited commands are received from the switch showing different levels being set.

If this switch has an air gap, I’d pull it out to cut power to it. If not, I’d flip the breaker to cut power. If that doesn’t fix it and the device is less than 5 years old, I’d contact Jasco support for a warranty replacement.

Replaced the switch with a new one and symptoms have gone away. Chalk it up to faulty hardware.
