GE Z-wave Plus Dimmer Configuration

I’m new to Z-Wave so I’m not very familiar with what I can do with the Z-wave control panel. I’ve seen examples of this switch being customized with a double tap event, but is it possible to customize a single tap? When I turn on a switch it returns to last known state, which I will never want when I click the dimmer on.

To my knowledge, this is not natively possible with the switch, however you “could” write an automation that does it for you. It wouldn’t be seamless the way that it would be if the switch did it, but it would be pretty close.

Basically, you monitor the trigger from off to on. Then you have an automation that reads the value of the switch (after a 1.8 second delay), and if the value is not 100%/255/full (or whatever value you want), then you have the automation turn the light on to the value you’d like.

Bummer, I may have to go that route then. Not ideal, but it would work. Thanks for the response.

There is a way, I’ve got double tap working on a few. I followed this:
