I have a GE/Jasco 14280 multi-level Z-Wave plus switch that I am trying to use with HA. It isn’t yet listed in the open-zwave database, so I defined a custom configuration for it and linked to that config directory in my HA config file. I know that HA is using my configs because the device is recognized correctly. I can turn it on and off, but it is not responding to brightness commands all the time.
Specifically, I can turn the switch off and set a brightness and then turn it on and it will have the set level of brightness. However, when the switch is already on and I use the UI slider to set a new brightness, the switch will only adjust its brightness some of the time. I don’t yet have a theory of when it works and when it doesn’t.
I have attached a log from open-zwave for some interactions with the dimmer. The first few brightness commands had no effect, and the last one ended up setting the brightness correctly. Here are the “Info”-level log messages from the session with “Detail”-level logs omitted for brevity:

I have tried using refresh_value and delay but based on these logs, it looks like the switch is actually reporting the set brightness levels even though it isn’t changing its output. Is there anything else I should try before I send it back as faulty?
Thanks!
