I'm kind of new to HomeSeer (switched from heyu a little while ago) so forgive me if this is an obvious question, but -
I have a standard XPD3-IW controlling half a dozen LED pot lights and yes, the LEDs are dimmable. Indeed local dimming with the XPD3 paddle works quite nicely, so that's not a problem. I've also got another XPD3 controlling some incandescent halogens and they display exactly the same behaviors.
If I set the X10 module type to "Standard" then I can turn the lights on and off with the web UI, but if I drag the brightness slider nothing happens. The slider moves but the lights don't change. If I set the slider to, say, 20% and then turn the lights off and back on, then NOW the lights are dimmed but the slider has gone back to 100%!
Setting the module type to "PreSet" doesn't seem to change the behavior any.
Setting it to "extended" improves the situation a bit - now if I drag the slider the lights will change brightness in real time. BUT it still has the problem that if I dim the lights, turn them off and then back on, the XPD3 remembers the last dim level but the slider goes back to 100%.
What's the difference between Standard, PreSet and Extended modules? Which one is the correct setting for am XPD3?
And what's the correct way to dim lights in HS3 so that everything works in real time AND stays in sync? How can I turn the lights on and have them go to a specific brightness level?
Thanks
