Title: R070 With Linear WD500Z-1 Dimmer Switch Bug(s)
Post by: fillibar on February 11, 2015, 01:54:20 pm

Potential bug(s) I noticed with my switches on the Web interface:

• % dimming value not displayed if switch off when upgrade performed
• Turning switch on or altering the dimming value just makes the switch state "Dimmer Level true%". At this moment I have no idea if they are on because selecting the button again does not change it back to the power icon and the dimming value displayed does not change. Expanding the additional details does show where the dimmer is set for... But still no idea if it is on.

Note: These bugs do not appear to impact my GE Link bulbs.

Worked with the WD500Z-1 tonight more as I was dealing with Rules. Discovered the following issue which may or may not have been around before:
Changes at the switch itself are not detected by the Almond+.
Ex: Changing the switch to On, at the switch, does not register as any change in the state OR dimmer value at the Almond+. Turning if Off also does not get detected.

However, the switch responds to whatever settings the Almond+ sends to it. I was trying to set up 2 Rules such that when the switch was turned on (actually set to have a Dimmer value of 99%, since it never gets read or set at 100%) it would turn off a GE Link bulb. The other rule was to turn it off. These rules work fine if I do it all through the Almond+ or the app.

Just to check, I tried this with all 4 of my switches and none of the changes made physically at the switch are showing in Almond+.

I have several of these and it has always been this way.

I figured they were working as best they could. But it appears some of the other controllers out there do get the status (from what I could tell with Google searches at least) so I think this is just still work in progress. After all the switches themselves have really only been supported by the Almond+ for a few releases.
