Okay, so I “think” this hasn’t been discovered yet? But I was unable to find it in any posts in the forum… yet…
So I was playing with the notifications (on the dimmer) for purposes of notification management.
In a Hubitat Dashboard, I placed a switch for each of the three child notifications that I currently have set up:
-
For every notification, I turn On, a previously, turned On notification, turns Off. Check, that makes sense… at least to me
-
If I have a notification that’s On, say notification 2 (representing a yard gate is open) and I try to turn Off a previously On notification, say notification 1 (because the garage door is now closed) It turns Off notification 2. I think I can easily work with this by using variables in my rules when setting/resetting the notifications.

The one that I am having a problem with, If a notification is On, say notification 1, and the current state of the dimmer is Off. If I turn the dimmer On, the notification goes Off at the dimmer. But the switch on my dashboard still reflects that notification 1 On? Just so the test was complete, I tested dimmer On then Off and got the same results. In these cases, I would expect the switch on the dashboard would turn Off as well. Or once the switch dims up or down to whatever value, the notification returns.
If I got a vote, I would just have any physical interaction at the switch turn the notifications Off and manage the notification states within rules in RM.
Edit: If the notifications are turned Off with any physical interactions, maybe they should be turned off with Z-Wave On/Off events as well… I’m thinking consistency…
