Combining Z-Wave Wall Dimmers

[Brian Williams]

I have 4 table lamps (LED bulbs) in my living room, each plugged into a separate Z-Wave lamp dimmer, and each with its own XT entity. My dusk routine and other scripts, deals with each lamps individually, primarily because they seem to exhibit ‘smart’ characteristics and I want to ensure that they do exactly what I want them to do. The lamps come on in sequence, but only moments apart. It is actually ‘charming,’ in MHO.

The segment in my scripts is:

	set value of "LRTL South" to Lrdim with no script
	
	set value of "LRTL Window" to Lrdim with no script
	
	set value of "DRCL" to Lrdim with no script
	
	set value of "PSL" to Lrdim with no script

Lrdim is a property set in Attachments, currently at 50, but at Xmas, the table lamps are swapped out for small lighted trees, Lrdim is changed to 100.

I am finding that individual unit On and Off scripts that deal directly with the units themselves creates some conflicts, which I attribute to a switch ‘intelligence' and Vera messaging. Actually, I don’t have any scripts in these XT units any more; the ‘with no script’ is left over from my efforts to resolve conflicting commands (which sometimes resulted in loops). 

Hoping that this is a useful contribution to the topic.
