I think the switch depends on what dimmer you have behind it?

I'm guessing that if the light level is set via Z-Wave, pressing the
switch=
manually will then turn the light off or if held down (long press), will d=
im or brighten from the level it's at.

Steve - can you confirm that?

Cheers,

Paul.

Thanks guys much appreciated.

I'm now clear on how to do the dimmed part

Ie

Between 11pm and 6am if motion is detected then turn on light at 20%
bright=
ness for example (assuming you can give dim level commands to the dimmer).

If the light switch is used to turn the light on can that automatically go
=
to full brightness or will the light simply turn on to the last set sim
lev=
el?

Obviously we could cease to use the switch all together and rely on the
mot=
ion detection and set to 100% brightness during the day but inevitably
some=
one will use the switch through habit hence trying to understand the
behavi=
our.

Feels like it's time to get a zwave usb stick and a device or two and
start=
playing!

Cheers
Noel
