Adjusting Engraved Switches Backlight Intensity


Recommended Posts

I have engraved light switches. The brightness seems to vary across some of them. Sometimes it is noticeable with separate switches on the same wall one will be a nice bright readable blue and the one next to it not so much. Is there a best-practice for dialing in the brightness level?  

I suspect the differences are related to the individual switches auto-adjusting brightness level rather than this being a manufacturing defect in the engravings, although I have searched the forums and found various posts related to that being an issue for some people.

I believe this issue has been mostly resolved in the latest update, 3.2.2, by using the light sensor in one switch or keypad as the basis for backlight intensity across several switches or keypads in a group.

Also make sure they were manufactured around the same time.  They made some hardware adjustments in 2017 and backlighting was impacted

Thanks everyone, I’ll have someone remote in and check my settings / profiles. My switches were installed in 2014 so if there’s a hardware limitation it is what it is. I ordered the engraved covers in 2021 (I move slowly…) and can see these have the darker colored sensor cover fwiw.
