This makes it easier to have lighting “zones” in the basement but then still be able to turn everything on/off in one shot at the main stairwell. I have this same configuration running in a different part of the basement with no issue.But for this new install, when the master switches are turned on, power comes on, etc. For this new switch though, the indicator lights on the switch is flashing and then it eventually auto-dims itself all the way down...the goes back to max brightness...then after a few minutes, starts the auto-dim again. It almost looks like the switch is in “demo” mode or something.I can reset the min light level and then the switch is back to working normally again but once the master switch is turned off and then back on again, the behavior returns. Clearly not having the power continuously to the switch is a factor here but I’m trying to figure out why the other configuration is working fine but this one isn’t.Any thoughts?
