Parameter Question - ZEN72 - Are min/max settings relative?

Product Support

I have a ZEN72, where I’ve used parameters to set max brightness (parameter 11) to 40, and min brightness (parameter 10) to 10.

I also want to set parameter 34 (custom brightness for a BASIC SET command). In that case, if I set parameter 34 to “99”, is it really setting the light at “40” because of parameter 11?? or is it bypassing what was in Parameter 11, and really setting the light to “99%”?

(Basically I want the light to be at full brightness when it sets a BASIC SET via association from another switch (a ZEN71). So I’m unsure if I should bet Parameter 34 to “40” or “99” ?)
Thank you

Currently, Parameter 34 (Basic Set) allows the ZEN72 to be turned on via direct association (e.g., from the ZSE18) to a custom brightness level (X%). Separately, a standard Z-Wave command can turn the dimmer on to a different brightness level.

However, if Parameter 11 is set to 40, it will limit the maximum brightness for both methods—Parameter 34 will not override this limit.

I can share this feedback with our engineering team to explore whether a solution could be implemented in a future firmware update. However, I believe this scenario might be difficult to support due to how the current firmware handles brightness limits.

Thank you for the response!
Just to be clear: . I’m not looking to override parameter 11 with parameter 34, but rather wanted to understand if I want direct association to turn the light on to “40%”, and parameter 11 is already set to 40, would I want to set parameter 34 to 40, or should I set it to 99 ?

(because max is now redefined as 40 by parameter 11?)

Based on your response it seems I’d want to set parameter 34 to 99. Is that right? Thanks.

I am sorry if I confused you. If parameter 11 is set to 40, and parameter 34 is set to 99. The direct association still turn on lights to 40% because of the maximum brightness parameter blocking any values above 40%

So you can set parameter 34 to 99 or 40 - it really does not matter in this use case.

Ok. Thank you.

I wasn’t sure if I set 34 to 40, that I would really get 40% of 40%, which would be like 16%.
