Zigbee Binding VZM32-SN Dimmer to Sengled Bulb

I’m trying to bind a VZM32-SN Blue mmWave dimmer with a Sengled Bulb from within Hubitat. My goal is for the Led strip to show the bulb’s dim level.

Using the Zigbee binding app, I was able to have the bulb turn on/off and dim up/down from the switch and the LED level follows. However, when I control the bulb directly from a Hubitat automation of the device screen(not via the switch), the LED doesn’t reflect the dim level.

Is this something that can be done, to show the dim level on the LED when the bound bulb is controlled directly?

You’ll have to setup a Zigbee group for that. Put endpoint 1 of the switch in the group (along with the bulb) and bind endpoint 2 from the switch to the group instead of the bulb.

I have no clue how to do that in Hubitat, but that’s the general principal of it.

Yea, that seems to be the problem - Not sure how to create such a group in Hubitat. I did try setting up a Group & Scene. When I control the group, it works (same as when I control via the switch). However, when I control the bulb directly, the issue remains - the switch doesn’t show the level.

I also tried an EP 1 binding from the bulb to EP 1 for the switch, but no go. Tried also with EP2, but same - the level doesn’t show. :frowning:

Not sure if this is up to date but it’s worth a shot:

Yeah, once you have set up as a group, you have to only control the group, not the bulb directly.

The instructions are nice! The only thing that I hadn’t done was add the group bind number in the dimmer’s driver. I added that, but unfortunately, not seeing anything different. However, I wonder if that is because I also have a direct binding… Will have to remove it later to see if it makes a difference.
