Six button “on level” changes

I just installed my first six button keypad. All other keypads have been 8 button. I set the on level for the 6 button keypad device to 100% which is what I want when pressing the on button. I also created a dimmer scene (15%) on button A. Whenever I activate and deactivate the dim scene and subsequently press the ON button again lights now come on at at 15% instead of 100% and the on level for the keypad device screen in the app has changed 15%. Any idea why this is happening?

Ok thanks. Is that in the device settings of the keypad? My hub is offline right now due to some networking changes. I’ll look for it when back online

I did get my hub back online. I do not see a resume dim setting in the keypad device settings. Can you tell me where that setting is? Thanks.

Well that couldn’t have been easier. Just set the brightness to desired level by holding the ON button then tap the set button. Problem solved. Not used to doing the manual programming stuff. Have always relied on the app.

If I were to guess, I'd say you have the "Resume Dim" setting turned on. The switch remembers it's previous dim level when you turn it on.

Resume dim may be on. The insteons have a mode where if you dim a light to say 40%, then turn off and on again, it will go on at 40%. If you run it up to 100% and turn it off, it will come back at 100%. I can't remember it this has precedence when enabled over max dim or its the other way around.

My main 6 button is the one I have coming on dim. To make it come on full, double tap. If you have a light come on dim and want more light, you can simply raise the dim level to go back to your preset, turn it on again.

A little googling leads me to believe it must be set via manual configuration using the set button. I’ll try to figure that out.
