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?

I don't have any glitches with my switches that need to be addressed.

Am I actually giving anything up? Are there sweet new features I'm missing out on? Or could I just hide the update and be happy?

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?

Is it possible to direct ship your products from the factory to Canada? Or have a warehouse up here?

I want to support you guys - and will be buying some switches from you for sure, but it’s hard when the prices are so high. Now, I know tariffs. I work in the supply chain too and working with our suppliers to get stuff to us without going through the US is NOT an easy process - one of our suppliers even charges us the tariff rate when shipped direct from the UK!

But, if you COULD get them to bypass the US, it would significantly reduce the tariffs and make it a lot easier to buy more of your products.

I don’t know if you have the demand up here to warrant it, but it would certainly be nice!

(Also, hopefully it settles down once the orange man is out of office)

Hello all! Running HAOS w/ a Zigbee dongle successfully running Z2M for some bulbs. Spent the money to get the good dimmers for around my home, and the first one drives a set of 3 LED flush mounted lights. I can’t get them to reliably power on under 35%, and I also can’t get them to stop flashing (sometimes) when turned on below 50%, until I brighten them all the way up. When I brighten them all the way up, they stop flashing, and I can dim them down to whatever setting and they’ll stay perfect. But try raising the dimmer, and they’ll flicker again until full brightness.

What gives? Leading edge mode didn’t help. This happens on both brand new dimmers I opened, on this set of lights. Bulbs are dumb LED’s. This occurs whether paired or not paired to Z2M/ HA.

Help would be appreciated. I feel robbed currently, as this was the expensive “reliable” option for dimmers.
