Aeotec Nano Dimmer

Hi, I have been using Aeotec Nano Dimmer in a 3way configuration and I have a couple of observations, 1.- because the config is for 2 switches you will have 2 switches in home assistant, is a kind of annoying (anybody with the same problem?), 2.- When you physically turn off/on lights, they are not updated on Home Assistant so when you have them on by physical switch you will have off on home assistant, is there anyway to solve this?

Thank you!

Yes. I had the same issue. I was so annoyed. I returned them. Aeotec does not make this obvious in the instructions

Is the dimmer wired in to the incoming feed, and not at the second switch?

If they are like the other aeotec switches you need to go into the zwave control panel and adjust the option for notification status to “hail”. by default mine did the same thing that you are reporting in regards to reporting status.

as far as the other i’m not necessarily sure its a problem. more of a feature.

Actually, this was the case: https://www.vesternet.com/resources/application-notes/apnt-160 and I had to wired like this:

At the end everything is working so far, the only thing that I don’t like is that it should control the time to turn on immediately and dimming when off like wemo, that would be nice, for now I have dimming on the turning on and off… but it works well

that solve my problem, the relay/dimmer/controller or whatever is good, it needs to improve a little bit and maybe I need a passthrough because sometimes when you have a switch programed to 10% brightness, it only turns on one of the 4 bulbs that it has, and sometime 1 of them turns before others, maybe is the power Im not pretty sure, but I think is a good relay and it behaves well with hassio.

Thank you everyone!
