[Solved] KAKU ACM-100 goes to 100% before dimming to 30%

---

Past weekend i installed a ACM-100 to dim the lamps in the living room.
Every time i turn the lamp on (mostly to 30%) the lamp first goes to 100% before going to 30%.

what did i miss ?
This is the lamp in the config:

{
  "id": "PlafondLamp",
  "name": "Plafondlamp",
  "class": "HomeduinoRFDimmer",
  "protocols": [
    {
      "name": "dimmer1",
      "options": {
        "id": 16584534,
        "unit": 5
      },
      "send": true,
      "receive": true
    }
  ]
},
{

I turn them on by a rule :
If its 30 minutes before sunsetStart or [45 minutes before sunsetStart and [$Weerbericht.status = “bewolkt” or $Weerbericht.status = “zwaar bewolkt”]] Then turn Keukenspots on and dim Plafondlamp to 30%

Thats weird. Did it happen from the start? The moment you bought it? If you dim it to 30% with the kaku remote, turn it off and turn it On again. What does it do then?

@sweebee I will try that tonight and let you know.

Yes it happen from the start 30 min after i bought it…

The Dutch Manual on page 15 states that this is normal behavior.

Also the English Manual states :

EN : Important note
To assure correct dimming of
dimmable ESL, this dimmer always switches
to full brightness (100%) first. Immediately
afterwards, the lights are set to the dimlevel
that you have chosen.

DE : Wichtiger Hinweis
Zum korrekten Dimmen von dimmbaren
Energiesparlampen schaltet dieser Dimmer
immer zuerst auf volle Helligkeit (100 . Sofort
danach werden die Lampen auf die gewählte
Dimmstufe geschaltet.

@Fritz4all the thing is i dont use dimmable ESL. its just a 4x 50W halogen GU10 lamps.

i have 2 GU10 LED’s i can try those tonight as well .

Have you followed the instructions on the page 32 in the linked manual?

@Icesory the English Manual is for the AWMD-250, but resetting works the same yes i did that.

nailed it!

don’t know what solved the problem but i reset the ACM-100 re installed the wires and bam! works like a charm.
