If I give a value to a dimmer, then this shows strange behavior:
2018-10-14 22:23:44.620 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item 'EG_BAD_HUD_SP' received command 10

In the example I send the value from the console, but also in my scripts, for fane in and fade out, some dimmers or HUE lamps show this behavior. Here is a white hue:
2018-10-14 22:42:27.043 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item 'EG_TEST_DIMMER' received command 100
2018-10-14 22:42:27.057 [nt.ItemStatePredictedEvent] - EG_TEST_DIMMER predicted to become 100
2018-10-14 22:42:27.072 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - EG_TEST_DIMMER changed from 10 to 100
2018-10-14 22:42:29.991 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - EG_TEST_DIMMER changed from 100 to 13
2018-10-14 22:42:30.278 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - EG_TEST_DIMMER changed from 13 to 51
2018-10-14 22:42:32.324 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - EG_TEST_DIMMER changed from 51 to 100
2018-10-14 22:42:59.292 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item 'EG_TEST_DIMMER' received command 10
2018-10-14 22:42:59.308 [nt.ItemStatePredictedEvent] - EG_TEST_DIMMER predicted to become 10
2018-10-14 22:42:59.334 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - EG_TEST_DIMMER changed from 100 to 10
2018-10-14 22:42:59.621 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - EG_TEST_DIMMER changed from 10 to 96
2018-10-14 22:43:02.272 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - EG_TEST_DIMMER changed from 96 to 10
In practice, this has the effect of flickering when dimming brighter or darker.
Do not know where to look, Iām grateful for any idea.
What happens is that the binding sends a command. The binding receives the actual states, updates to the actual state and then updates to the wanted state.
You could try adding autoupdate=false to your binding definitions.
If youāre on the latest binding, try adjusting the command polling interval in the Thing settings. If you set the zwave binding to debug, you could see the command polling in the log.
Edit: I wrongly assumed this is a zwave deviceā¦ I see you mention Hue.
Itās hard to tell what is happening without seeing a debug log. Please enable debug logging as per the binding docs and we and see whatās happening hopefully.
To me, this looks reasonably ok - you sent the level to 10%, then to 100%, and it goes to 100% over a 3 second period. I donāt see anything out of the ordinary, but presumably this is not what youāre expecting?
Youāre right, Iāve missed, but in the first post, youāll see what happens when the error occurs (EG_BAD_HUD_SP). Where the HUE in the first post also already worked properly, what they did not an hour ago. Unfortunately, I can not reproduce the error at the moment, the Dimmer is working well at the moment, although the problem has already occupied me for a couple of days.
Thanks in any case, I will post a log when it occurs again.
That part is autoupdate at work, in line 3; then that gets overridden by update from actual device.
Disable autoupdate where you get reliable feedback from device.
