OK, so I just purchased a bunch of Linear WD500Z-1 dimmers to replace my old X10 devices. I got the first one installed and added it to my Z-Wave network with no problem.
I installed the second one and attempted to add it to the network and my ztroller refused to see it. I tried with the ztroller connected to homeseer as well as with the ztroller disconnected and two inches from the switch. I hit add and hit a button on the dimmer and nothing at all happens... the ztroller just keeps scanning indefinitely. I figure, OK, maybe it's a bad dimmer, but I actually wound up installing and testing with 3 additional dimmers and all of them do the same thing.
I tried deleting the devices in case they came pre-configured, but the same thing happens. I try to delete the device and the ztroller just keeps scanning.
Just for fun I grabbed a plug in dimmer that I had sitting around and I was able to add and remove that device with no problems at all.
I even took a GE handheld remote that I had, set it up as a primary controller, and attempted to add and remove the linear dimmer to that network with the same problem... the remote just doesn't see the dimmer when I attempt to add or delete it.
Am I missing something here or is there an issue with Linear dimmers? If that was the case I don't know why the first one would install and connect to the network without a problem.
