Using dumb bulbs and smart bulbs in same room with single Inovelli switch.

Using dumb bulbs and smart bulbs in same room with single Inovelli switch.

Hi everyone, I'm new to home automation and am looking to set up a room with (1) recessed smart philips hue bulbs and (2) traditional "dumb" hanging pendant lights. The main lights are the recessed smart bulbs, and I'd like to use a single Inovelli switch to control all the lighting functions. I will intend to make Home Assistant my primary hub, so intend to get the White Series (Thread/Matter) switches, and then connect a Philips Hue Bridge to Home Assistant.

I understand I can set up the smart switch to control the dumb pendant lights, and pushing A or B in the diagram below will turn on or dim the dumb pendant lights. I also understand I can use multi-tap of A or B or C below to control the recessed smart Hue bulbs through automations.

However, because the recessed smart bulbs are the primary lights in the room, ideally I'd control those with a single tap of A or B below. Is there any way to reverse it so that the single tap of A or B below will control the smart recessed bulbs, and a double tap would control the dumb pendant lights?

Alternatively, could I program the switch so that a single tap of A or B would turn on/off all the lights (i.e, the pendant lights and the smart recessed bulbs) and that holding down A or B would dim all the lights?

Fan Canopy Module Question

Hi! I’m remodeling a house (for myself) and purchased a blue series fan/light canopy module for the new house. Our smart home is moving last, so we won’t have our zigbee network set up for a few weeks.

We want to go ahead and install the fan with the module. Can we install this now and pair it to our mesh network in the future without having to completely open up the fan again? And if the module unpairs or anything can we fix it without opening the fan? My husband is just not wanting to open the fan multiple times if you can’t tell

White Series Thread/Matter Dimmer Issues. Is this behavior okay?

I just installed two of these to replace a couple of Eve dimmers. They both have the exact same wire configuration and I had no issues previously. I successfully added them to Apple Home and they’ve worked perfectly aside from when I screwed up the manual programming and had to reset it.

What I’m trying to determine is whether the behavior shown in the video is normal? I didn’t think it should flash blue then yellow every time I shut it off.

[WTS] 16 Red Series Dimmer + 2 Red Series on/off

I finally decided to switch out all my Inovelli with Lutron. My family could never get over the unnatural feeling that came with the slight delay that existed between the button press and the light turning on and off. All but one or 2 of these were used for 5-6 years, and notice that one of the on/off switches has a chunk of plastic missing by the indicator light. No idea what to ask for here in terms of money, honestly I don't care too much but just not wanting to toss them or see some scrapper take them.

I am in Michigan, USA, and will ship to anywhere in the continental US.

Blue Dimmer flicker

Hey everyone!

New to inovelli, but not new to smart switches / HA.

I’ve set up 2 blue dimmers in a box. Both are single pole.

One works great, zero issues. It’s controlling 2 lights, and I love it.

The other is flickering on device. The light-up bar on the unit consistently flickers. At full and while dimmed. It seems like it keeps losing power, as I’ve tried to run a software update but as soon as it flickers the update pauses.

I have a line, load and neutral all properly connected. This switch did use to have a ceiling fan, but I’ve capped off the fan wire. I might just re-connect the wiring to see if I missed something, but any recs?

inovelli blue presence

So I have the blue presence sensor in my garage and the mmwave part doesn't / not able to see all areas of my garage because where the switch is installed.

I wanted to make an automation in home assistant to where if I double press up on the switch that it goes into a timer mode and doesn't shut off the light until 2hrs or I press down on the switch. I have tried messing with the mmwave settings, tried the stay on settings parameters 110 and 112. but no matter what I try it seems like the default shutoff timer overides the automation and always turns off after the default 31 seconds or whatever it is.

What am I missing?
