<big>The Z-Wave poller app corrects a polling issue with certain Z-Wave devices that do not display their state properly, but the issue only affects certain non Z-Wave Plus devices. Older GE dimmers and switches are well known to have this problem when activated manually.  If your GE devices pairs as "Generic Z-Wave Dimmer" or "Generic Z-Wave Switch" it is a candidate for needing Z-Wave Poller.  Z-Wave Poller only works with devices that pair with these two drivers.  To verify that your Z-Wave device is a candidate for Z-Wave poller, active your device manually, and watch the logs to see if the device '''does NOT''' register a change of state in the logs. If it doesn't, then it is a candidate for Z-Wave Poller, but if does register a change in the logs, you should not use the Z-Wave Poller app with it.</big>
