Update Light Levels

Hello, I have noticed that when I turn my lights off, the UI still shows the lights at about 88%. I assume that it is checking the light level while it is dimming to off. Is there no way to have the UI update automatically after the light is at 0%?

If I do something like:

http://192.168.1.91:8083/ZAutomation/ap ... Dev_4:0:38

It will show the level as 88%, but the light is actually off. I was looking through the z-way api documentation to see if there was a way to update the level, but nothing I tried worked except running a command that changed the status of the light (I could just run '.../command/off' and it would update the level value). Am I missing something?

Or alternatively, is there a way to set the lights to turn off immediately without dimming?

Better way to configure your device to report it's status changes. Then it will send unsolicited Report once it gets to 0

I cannot figure out how to configure the dimmer to report it's status changes. Can this be done from the UI, or will it need javascript code?

It is a GE Jasco 45609 dimmer. I am thinking this is not possible.
