Red Series parameter 53 and 54 ("Double Up/Down to param 55/56 Level") to associated switches?

I’ve set up Group 2 and Group 3 associations from my “Kitchen Ceiling Lights” to “Kitchen Island Lights” in ZWaveJS:

This works great to quickly control the island lights in sync with the main kitchen light switch (including dimming via tap-and-hold).

However one thing that is not working is the double-tap levels enabled via parameters 53–56.

The docs for Group 3 say:

  • If param. 53 = 1, 2x press up sends SwitchMultiLevelSet to P55
  • If param. 54 = 1, 2x press down sends SwitchMultiLevelSet to P56

but this isn’t working for me.

In other words, I have parameters 53 and 54 enabled, and when I double-tap on the “Kitchen Ceiling Lights” switch, I’d like the “Kitchen Ceiling Lights” to go to the levels set in its parameters 55/56, and the “Kitchen Island Lights” to go to the levels set in its parameters 55/56 and the docs say that this should happen via Group 3 Association.

Both switches are running FW 1.2.0, in case that matters.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

I just tried it and it worked fine for me. What happens with yours, does the other switch not change at all?

Thanks for the reply, Peter. I wonder why it’s not working for me if it’s working for you!

If I double-tap the top of the paddle on the “sending” switch (the one where the Association is configured), just its lights change to the level set in parameter 55 — the “receiving” switch does not turn on. However, if I single-tap the sending switch, both lights turn on to the values set in parameter 13. If I then tap-and-hold, both lights brighten (top) or dim (bottom) as expected.

It seems the only problem is the associated switch not reacting to double-taps.

I do have a third switch installed nearby that I could (temporarily) set up as a “sending” switch (add the same associations to the same “receiving” switch) if that would provide a helpful data point.

Whelp, this is interesting: after setting up the same two associations on the third VZW31-SN switch, controlling the same “receiving” VZW31-SN, it behaves as expected — a double-tap on the third switch moves both lights to the level set in parameters 55/56.

Any theories? (The behavior of the original switch has not changed.)

Same firmware on all of them?

Yup… same firmware on all three: 1.2.0

Any suggestions?

The association on the third switch continues to work correctly to send the 2x up/down message to the second switch, but the first switch still does not — the first switch only adjust its own lights to the levels in params 55/56, but not the second switch (even though it has the same associations as the third switch…)
