I recently purchased quite of few GE Enbrighten Z-Wave Plus Smart Dimmer (Model 46203) after struggling to find a good zwave dimmer switch. The switch itself works great (especially after configuring minimum and maximum values. However, the dimmer functionality in HA does not work.
I noticed after adding the device that the Dimmer was a disabled entity (see pictures below). Any idea why that would be? I can enable the entity and I get a slider, but it has no impact on the dimming of the lights.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! This is my first device to add to HA (so a little disappointed in how it’s going). But, more importantly, I need to know if I need to return this switches and look elsewhere.
The dimmer functionality is not disabled, it’s the light entity with the big yellow light bulb. The disabled one is a number entity that provides access to the Basic Command Class, which is not useful for most users.
Sorry, I had forgotten that clicking on the entity from the Device page brings up the entity settings, so if are starting from there I can understand the confusion. Glad you could figure it out.
If you access the entity from other UI elements such as the Entities card it’s obvious since you start from the control view.
