Can't really help, but I've had this problem without any of the z-wave
stuff - just a normal switch. Never solved it, but sparky assured me it
wasn't dangerous. You can find all sorts of theories as to why it
happens online; some suggest some brands of bulb are more susceptible to
it than others, others blame induced currents from the wiring acting as
a radio antenna, or capacitive coupling.
