Bound switch and canpoy: how do I make the switch set the light to 100%

Thanks for the answer, @zachary.melnick. I am trying to get the switches and canopy modules to work 100% without Home Assistant or any other external source, though. I had thought about forcing it to the desired behavior through HA automation, but if HA is down, my lights still need to act exactly as I want them to.

Thanks, @Bry! This was the solution! For anyone else who comes across this with the same problem, I went into the switches and had set the following:

Canopy (VZM36):
  InovelliVZM36LightCluster:
    default_level_remote       (0xe): 254 (Default: 255)
    dimming_speed_down_remote  (0x5): 10  (Default: 127)
    dimming_speed_up_remote    (0x1): 10  (Default: 25)
    ramp_rate_off_to_on_remote (0x3): 10  (Default: 127)
    ramp_rate_on_to_off_remote (0x7): 10  (Default: 127)
  LevelControl:
    on_off_transition_time    (0x10): 10  (Default: 25)
Switch (VZM3#-SN):
  InovelliVZM3#SNCluster (Endpoint id: 1, Type: in):
    default_level_local        (0xd): 254 (Default: 255)
    default_level_remote       (0xe): 254 (Default: 255)
    dimming_speed_down_local   (0x6): 10  (Default: 127)
    dimming_speed_down_remote  (0x5): 10  (Default: 127)
    dimming_speed_up_local     (0x2): 10  (Default: 127)
    dimming_speed_up_remote    (0x1): 10  (Default: 25)
    ramp_rate_off_to_on_local  (0x4): 10  (Default: 127)
    ramp_rate_off_to_on_remote (0x3): 10  (Default: 127)
    ramp_rate_on_to_off_local  (0x8): 10  (Default: 127)
    ramp_date_on_to_off_remote (0x7): 10  (Default: 127)

This made it so that:

  • transitions take 1 second (10)
  • switch paddle up turns the light on to 100%
  • switch paddle down turns the light off

It is worth noting that the attributes with the default value 127 could be left at 127, as that tells it to set its value based on the value of dimming_speed_up_remote. I set it anyway just to be 100% certain that the transations would all take exactly 1 second. I just wanted them all to be the same exact value so I could easily see when something was wrong.

As another note, I have found that you ONLY want to interact with the light via the Switch Device (VZM3#-SN) and you ONLY want to interact with the fan via the Canopy Device (VZM36). I have found that if you do anything other than that, the canopy, switch, and the values in HA get out of sync and it becomes annoying.
