I just added an RGBW bulb which I guess is an LZW42 kind of a confusing naming scheme going on with the bulbs actually took effort to figure out what the model is. Nowhere on the box does it actually say LZW42. No big deal just weird IMO. SO it’s added to my z wave network but it seems to be slowing my network down the bulb itself responds fast but other devices are sluggish which hasn’t been the case until I added this bulb. It seems that if I change colors more then say 4 times back to back everything on the networks comes to a crawl. If I watch the logs I can see how slow everything becomes clears up a few minutes later. I went to look for new firmware for the bulb but I’m not sure it’s the correct firmware. Hubitat says the bulb is using firmwareVersion: 2.28 which is weird because it seems the latest firmware is Knowledge Base Redirect – Inovelli. Also is the hubitat driver the same as the one posted here? Amazon description
Latest driver is found here:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/InovelliUSA/Hubitat/master/Drivers/inovelli-bulb-multi-color-lzw42.src/inovelli-bulb-multi-color-lzw42.groovy
Thank you for that Info
@Geo I’m updating now, but previously I’ve seen the same sluggish change on Hubitat. You’ll be able to follow my reports here:
Thanks to you, I see they released new firmware, so i’ll give it a shot! Thanks for bringing up awareness of new firmware.
Initial impressions were good, but it’s still sluggish. I’m using a Hubitat Group to change colors. I’ll try individually and see if it is quicker.
Edit:
So if I control the light individually it’s actually pretty quick. I also turned on Filter Out Duplicate Events. Not sure if the sluggish part is now from Hubitat’s Group Lighting feature or something else (way above my knowledge).
wow yeah something crazy is going on I’m no z wave expert but a simple on or off command everything seems normal but if you change the color debug log goes nuts for one color change. All this for one color change from 2500 temp to 3500 Cleared the logs and did another color change over 50 debugs

Hey guys - just wanted to post this to share some hope. We’re still working out a few kinks, but this is a video on the speed of tbe bulbs at a local restaurant we installed the bulbs in:
lol well give me the secret sauce!!! Is that using Hubitat to control the colors? Mine are still changing colors while I go grab a drink and come back 
Lol yes - Hubitat.
@anon14959390 - can you share the settings you’re using here?
@Geo - this was actually a feature we added in partnership with Crown Royal. Make the bulbs slow so people drink more in between color changes lol jk
Didn’t want to use ST for this? 
I think my sluggish is from grouping my two bulbs together. Mine is in a lamp and not controlled by a switch so hopefully @anon14959390 has some insight.
Went ahead an updated to latest firmware for one bulb. I’m hesitant to say it’s working perfect but it is so far. Like night and day I’m wondering if I had a bad inclusion the color change responsiveness is that fast now. Haven’t even bothered to do a z wave repair, do I even need to if all my mains powered devices are z wave plus? I guess I’ll do a repair when I get the firmware on the rest of the bulbs.
@Geo Yeah we are using Hubitat. @harjms I am going to update the bulb firmware this weekend and try it on SmartThings too. See if that helps it work better too.
I upgraded the firmware of the LZW42 to version 2.3 using the Hubitat Firmware tool. Note: It is taking about 30 minutes a bulb on average but the bulbs are at least 30 ft from the hub through a concrete floor.
I then used this driver here (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/djdizzyd/hubitat/master/Drivers/inovelli/inovelli-bulb-multi-color-lzw42.groovy). How we have the dashboard setup, color reporting isn’t super important. Everything is a virtual button to run a scene for the lights. Wanted to make it super simple.
Everything is working fast so far!
@anon14959390 - I’m going to redo my group and see if that helps. It took about 5 mins to flash each bulb with PC Controller sitting about 20 ft away. Wasn’t too bad.
Thanks for the response. I’ll look at using that driver too.
I use a few groups here and it works just as fast. Try that driver.
I updated the firmware on my 8 bulbs to the beta version 1.30. 5 of them updated in about 3 min. 3 of them took 10+ min each to update.
So far, the new firmware is significantly faster (using Home Assistant). I have a group of 4 bulbs in HA, and it went from 5-20 seconds to change the bulb color down to approx 1 second.
I’ve noticed if I use hubitat dashboard to control the bulbs things start to slow down one color change is usually fine but back to back starts messing things up. I update all OTA with a zenstick the radios in the hubitat are very weak tried using firmware updater for hubitat on a few switches not even far from the hub less then 15’ took a very long time 40 minutes plus. All the packets would have to be sent multiple times I guess OTA updates doesn’t use hops/repeaters? If I change the color from the device page it’s like the bulb is hardwired very fast even back to back color changes stay fast.
Switched to this driver and I can change colors fast even with Hubitat dashboard not sure if that’s what fixed but working flawlessly now. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/djdizzyd/hubitat/master/Drivers/inovelli/inovelli-bulb-multi-color-lzw42.groovy
keep me updated when you find a fix… also can someone point me in the right direction or a video on how to update firmware through hubitat
Really pretty simple to do. just make sure to get the OTA link.
