Weird GE Smart Switch Issue

[fswill (Scott)]

I have a GE Smart Switch that has been working fine for about six months.

All of a sudden it has changed directions for on/off. Before flipping up on the toggle turned on the light and now flipping up turns the light off.

Does anyone know why/how this thing changed and how I can fix it?

(before anyone says it…yes, I guess I could take it out and turn it over. I’d rather fix whatever has changed)

Any help would be appreciated.

I dont know why this would happen but there is a way that should fix it. See this thread:

GE/Jasco switch invert on/off

It states that you can invert the way the switch toggles for on and off. Has someone created this? I’m using Android and can’t create any apps yet (I don’t think.) Also one of the blue LEDs on a switch no longer lights up. I’ve tried the various settings for the device and it still doesn’t light. Any help? Thanks, Steve

GE switches have a parameter that can be set to invert the switch if needed. The default device type for z-wave switched does not let you change the parameter but this custom type does.

There was a recent platform change which I believe is what caused the problem for you.

@bflorian might say more.

Definitely report it to support. Include the exact model number of the device.

GE/JASCO Dimmer - Blue Light

We recently made a change so that only devices that actually had the indicator included controls for it because some users were confused by those controls being present for devices that don’t have the indicator. Looks like we missed a device that does have the indicator. Was this an in-wall switch or a plug-in dimmer module @mbroskamp?

In the SmartThings App - go to the device - select the gear on the upper right side. At the bottom you will see “LED indicator” tap here… you can select in which state you want the LED indicator light to illuminate.

I’m having the same issue. I’ve got like 10 of these switches in my house and only one of them changed. I looked at the log and I see one entry that’s out of the ordinary.

Support recommended I remove the device from the network and re-add it. Strangely, that worked.
