The Dim command has a start level embedded in it. A dimmer receiving this command will start dimming from that start level. However, the command also has a bit that indicates whether the dimmer should ignore the start level. If the bit is set to 1, the dimmer will ignore the start level and instead start dimming from its current level. To clear this bit, configure this parameter to the value of 0. The following option values may be configured -: | Value | Description | |--------|-------------| | 0 | Use transmisison start level | | 1 | Ignore transmisison start level | The manufacturer defined default value is ```1``` (Ignore transmisison start level). This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_1_1``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Parameter 2: Suspend Group 4 Disable transmission of command to Group 4 You may wish to disable transmitting commands to Z-Wave devices that are in Group 4 without “un-associating” those devices from the group. Setting parameter 2 to the value of 1 will stop the ZDW103 from transmitting to devices that are “associated” into Group 4. It is possible that you may only want the units in Group 4 to track when the dimmer is being turned ON and OFF and not when dimming. The following option values may be configured -: | Value | Description | |--------|-------------| | 0 | Enable transmission to Group 4 | | 1 | Disable transmission to Group 4 | The manufacturer defined default value is ```0``` (Enable transmission to Group 4). This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_2_1``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Parameter 3: Night Light Defines the behavior of the blue LED. Default is Night Light mode where LED is on when switch is off. The following option values may be configured -: | Value | Description | |--------|-------------| | 0 | LED on when switch is ON | | 1 | LED on when switch is OFF | The manufacturer defined default value is ```0``` (LED on when switch is ON). This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_3_1``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Parameter 4: Invert Switch Change the top of the switch to OFF and the bottom of the switch to ON. Note: If you invert the switches and also install the product upside down, remember the load will now be controlled by the right, not the left switch. The following option values may be configured -: | Value | Description | |--------|-------------| | 0 | No | | 1 | Yes | The manufacturer defined default value is ```0``` (No). This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_4_1``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Parameter 5: Ignore Start-Level (Receiving) This dimmer will start dimming from its current level. The following option values may be configured -: | Value | Description | |--------|-------------| | 0 | No | | 1 | Yes | The manufacturer defined default value is ```0``` (No). This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_5_1``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Parameter 6: Don’t Send Level Command After Transmitting Dim Commands Change behavior of dim level information update When you press and hold the bottom of the ZDW103 paddle once, the Z-Wave devices that are associated into Group 1 are sent the Dim command. After you release the paddle, the ZDW103 follows up by commanding the devices to go to the same level of the ZDW103. By default, the ZDW103 is set not to do this. To enable ZDW103 to do this set this parameter to 0. The following option values may be configured -: | Value | Description | |--------|-------------| | 0 | Send level command | | 1 | Don’t send level command | The manufacturer defined default value is ```1``` (Don’t send level command).
