I am having an issue with 2 out of the 30 Leviton Z-Wave dimmers in my home. Unlike the rest of the dimmers instead of gradually getting brighter after the switch is pressed they start out at full brightness, flicker a bit, drop down to 50% of the normally brightness, then go to full brightness again. I thought it might have been the switches so I replaced them with 2 more switches that were working perfectly in another part of the house. The issue remained so I assumed it had something to do with the wiring though I have no clue how that can be the case since there really isn't much you can do wrong with the wiring. I have 2 other switches that are on the same breaker that work fine. I am able to control the device through homeseer, but of course I am unable to dim the switch to anything other then 50% bright. As a side note I would like to mention that I did have the switch working at one point in time. I had to turn off the breaker to push the switch back into the wall and once I turned the power back on I started to have this issue. I also had the same issue with two other switches, but after turning the power on and off they worked properly again. Unfortunately this fix does not work for the switch I described here. Lastly, in the same box, I have 2 Leviton Fan control switches. Randomly they will turn my fans on and off. I would assume this issue is unrelated since the switches are not Z-wave or X10, but I thought it was worth mentioning. Any ideas on why the dimmer is not working properly? Anything I can try aside from cycling the power? I tried to change the minimum brightness level but that didn't seem to help. Thanks!
