We’re currently rebuilding our house and have an electrician coming out all this week to start installing Innoveli switches among other things.
Our bedrooms have one two gang switch in them:
Side one - Connected to the four overhead recessed can lights Innoveli Dimmer Switch will control these.
Side two - Connected to an overhead fan that we purchased, this fan does not have a light on it. I’m wanting to use the fan/light switch to control the fan.
Our house will use Home Assistant, my ultimate goal is to use a innoveli dimmer switch to control the overhead lights and use the fan button on the fan/light dimmer switch to control the fan.
That leaves the functionality of the light button on the fan/light switch, ideally I’d like to use this in a “detached switch mode” if possible where the light button doesn’t actually control a physical relay but instead will send signals to Home Assistant that I can do what I want with.
This all sounds great but I’m not sure how I will actually wire this, has anybody wired one of these switches to a fan without a light before?
Are there any limitations that I will run into?
Does the Fan/light switch support using the light dimmer as a detached switch (software switch only)?
You will just leave the blue wire capped at the fan canopy. Then you’ll use the light button as a scene controller rather than a light. I now have a fan/light installed, but I don’t have it in a zwave network yet. I’d imagine there’s a mode that allows you to disabled actual light command and just use it for scenes.
All I want to know is how you got your hands on the fan / light switch I’ve been lurking stock notifications for weeks.
But anyway I would imagine just capping the wire for the light in the canopy module would do what you want. Then just listen for the zwave notifications on the button presses, I assume. I would think you could also directly associate that switch to something else as well.
