I set up two dimmers to control the light over the dining table. But they're not behaving correctly when I link them. Interestingly, they fail in opposite ways depending on if I crosslink manually vs. using a scene through the hub/app. Here are the steps to recreate my issue…
1. I added both devices to the hub and set their default to 75%. At this point, only one of them actually controls the light.
2. Manual method: I cross-linked the dimmers using the control buttons. At this point the main switch acts as expected: tap on once and it's 75%; tap on a second time and it's 100%; tap on to toggle between both states. However, the secondary switch only switches from off to 100%. The LED correctly indicates the assigned logic (i.e. on = 75%, then 100%, etc.), but the dining light is at 100% regardless of what the LED says. It can dim as expected if I hold the rocker up or down.
3. App scene method: I created a scene with both lights set to BOTH and set each to 75% on. The primary dimmer works as expected, and the secondary acts as above where the LED indicates correctly but the dining light doesn't change. The difference here is that instead of being stuck at 100% it's stuck at 75%.
What is going on here? I have consistently recreated this error on three different 3-way setups in the house. I've not been able to get any of them to work where the secondary switch works as expected.
