Leviton DZ6HD - Dimmer - two controls created, one to control, one status?

Leviton dimmer DZ15S - latest firmware, 1.23
When added, two controls created

  • the device name, (light.device_name) and
  • the device name.basic (light.device_name.basic)

I can control the light on the UI using the .basic control - if I go to the other control in HA, it acts like I can control it but nothing happens (light is not changing)
If I go to the dimmer and manually turn on/off the dimmer, only the light.device control updates - the basic does not update status.

So I have a switch where I have to see status with one control, and use the other .basic to control it?

Is this the expected behavior?

Thanks,

the post about the z-wave certification in this section mentions that the basic control shouldn’t exist - and if it does, reinterview the node.

I did, and sure enough, the basic control is no longer available.

However, the control that remains does not control the device - it only shows the status. I am not able to control the device using the created control.

Any thoughts on what I can do? I have 60+ of these dimmers in my network so hoping I can use them!
