Should the dimming work with z-wave devices? I have a Leviton VRPD3-1LW (lamp module). It is behaving the same way, i.e. press the "-" button and it turns off.

Have you updated to the latest release per the link above?

Yes, this is with v7.0.2

This line says that the command I get from the Hub is to turn the light all the way off:

Code: Select all: LIFX Bridge Debug LightSetColor command is for device: livingroom table lamp, payload = [('Color', (18432, 33343, 0, 47872)), ('Duration', 256011)]

That '0' is the brightness level.

So the plugin is working right. It's the Hub that's doing something weird.

Curious. As you said, you're just receiving the commands for the hub. Below are the two snippets: one for an Insteon device the second for the Z-wave device:

Code: Select all: LIFX Bridge Debug LightSetColor command is for device: under walkway, payload = [('Color', (18432, 33343, 26112, 48051)), ('Duration', 256011)] LIFX Bridge Debug LightSetColor command is for device: livingroom table lamp, payload = [('Color', (18432, 33343, 0, 47872)), ('Duration', 256011)]

I do have one mapped to one of the "light bulb" buttons (Z-wave) and the other to a "socket" button (Insteon). I'm going to have to play further to see what is going one. I'll let you know if I figure anything out.

I suspect that those socket buttons are assumed to be on/off only.

I thought I'd take a closer look to see if there is a difference between the 4 buttons. In doing so, I've come across a problem; not sure if it is a Hub problem or bug with the plugin?

Essential, the behaviour is inconsistent. For simplicity, I've only got a single LIFX device being advertised (an Insteon wall dimmer). The first time I turn it on and start to dim, it seems to jump around (100, 76, 80, 32, 39). The second time when I start to dim it, it turns the light off.

Is there anything I can do?

That sure looks like some bug in the Hub. There's only a couple relevant lines in the log:

Code: Select all: LIFX Bridge Debug LightSetPower command is for device: under walkway, payload = [('Power', 65535), ('Duration', 1000)]

'LightSetPower' is the command to turn an LIFX device on/off. 65535 is on, 0 is off.

Code: Select all: LIFX Bridge Debug LightSetColor command is for device: under walkway, payload = [('Color', (18432, 33343, 49920, 47969)), ('Duration', 256011)]

'LightSetColor' is the command to set the hue/saturation/brightness of a light. The third number is the brightness, which is what I use to map to dimmer values for Indigo. In this case, it's 49920, which is 49920/65535 * 100 = 76% on the dimmer:

Code: Select all: Sent INSTEON "under walkway" on to 76

Later on, I get a command to set it to 0 brightness:

Code: Select all: LIFX Bridge Debug LightSetColor command is for device: under walkway, payload = [('Color', (18432, 33343, 0, 47872)), ('Duration', 256011)] . . Sent INSTEON "under walkway" on to 0

So as far as I can tell, the plugin is doing exactly what the Hub is asking for.

What I don't see anywhere is the Hub doing a "LightGetColor", which I would expect if it was trying to find out what the current brightness of the light is. It's possible I'm doing something in one of the response messages that's confusing the hub. I have an LIFX bulb I bought just to develop this plugin. I guess I could install it somewhere (again) and see if I can spot something in the traffic to it.

I'm using the hub and plugin to control a simple X10 dimmer. There definitely seems to be a bug in the hub. When I connect the iOS app to the light, the hub seems to send the brightness to random values whether I use the slider in the app or the buttons on the remote. Even more interesting is that when I go off the device and back to it, the slider indicates the correct actual brightness setting.

Furthermore, the plugin seems fine since, as you say, it is doing the correct action based on what the hub is telling it.

I'll try to research it some more on the Harmony side and report the bug to Logitech.

Logitech did not seem to be aware of this kind of difficulty setting the brightness of Lifx devices. However, once they found out I was using an emulated device, they politely bowed out of the conversation.

Frustrating! Thanks for trying.

Joe/all:

Just installed 7.0.2 last night and it looks like I'm experiencing the same unpredictable behavior with the dim buttons. I'm emulating/broadcasting a Leviton Z-wave dimmer and I've yet to identify a repeatable pattern. Has anyone had luck with this combination? Any thoughts on how to address? Thanks in advance!

I've got the same strange behavior with dimming z-wave lights. Some lights won't dim and some dim with big intervals (92 - 64 -
