I asked the same question about a month
ago and no one replied.  I also went one
more step.  I put in a macro that when a
particular unit code went ON, it would dim
a different unit code to, say 75%.  This
always worked properly.  However, when
the dim was part of the regular program,
it would only dim a small fraction of what
it should have.  I finally gave up and
put a lower wattage lamp in the wall
sconce.
