WS467 and Dimming

[damato300]

I have a ws467 and it is triggered by a Motion sensor.  It works great but I want it to turn on dimmed.  I try and set this up in AHP but it keeps turning on 100%.  Even in AHP I  can set it to 50% turn the switch off then back on again and it goes back to 100%.  Any Ideas?

I am new to this and I am still trying to learn.

Thanks

Most wall switches, including I believe the ws467, must turn at 100%. Best to just have your motion sensor trigger a macro that dims the light.

The inexpensive X10 wall switches always turn on full from off, as do the virtually identical low-end switches from Leviton.  The Leviton mid-price switches remember the last dimmed setting, and return to that level when switched back on.  I believe most mid-price switches from other companies do the same.  But they cost several times the price of the WS467.

I only need this setup in one room.  Does anyone know the leviton product number?

Thanks

1. Set remote sensor to A10 (or whatever).
2. Set wall switch to A11 (or whatever)
3 Using CM11 or CM15, write a fast macro as follows:
     A10 On: A11 +40% Relative (not Absolute)
     A10 Off: A11 -90% Relative (not absolute)

Problem: Each time sensor is triggered, the lamp's brightness is increased by 40%. So if it is re-triggered two or more times, the rightness is 100%, and A10 Off leaves the lamp 10% dim.

Note: There is a bug in CM11 that "-100% relative" becomes the same as "0% absolute". Then, "+40% relative" becomes "100% absolute and then 40% relative", which is not good for the bulb.

Solution: Instead of a remote sensor, use Slimline switch (set to A10) to trigger A11. It will not re-trigger A11 unless you press On again.

Does anyone know the leviton product number?

We use the 16383 with code wheels, but they have been discontinued.  The new version is the HCM06, which is electrically programmed.
