Use the other red wire in a single-pole usage to fix this problem
I had the same problem in a single-pole installation, but fixed it by switching the red wires.
To wit, the TGCL-153-PH-WH has two red wires: one solid red, and one with a white stripe. Originally I had connected the solid red wire to the light fixture and capped the striped one, but this led to the switch having the reverse operation as intended, just like you experienced. To fix it, I instead capped the solid red wire and connected the striped red wire to the light fixture, and voila the switch now works as intended.

- Moving the switch lever to the up position turns the lights off
- Moving the switch lever to the down position turns the lights on
The operation of the dimmer is correct - in that position, moving the dimmer slider up brightens the lights, down dims the lights
The operation of the switch is reversed from what it should be. How do I correct this problem? If I mount the switch upside-down, the switch will work properly but then the dimmer slider will be reversed.
Thanks,
