Oh yeah I’m a data-hound too! I saw Hubigraphs a while back but forgot about it Thanks for the memory jog Looks like it should work, although initial setup seems a bit daunting. Time to roll up my sleeves and dive in…
I kinda figured That is a nice feature to have baked in. Hubigraphs looks like a powerful add-on to Hubitat so I think I’ll start heading down that rabbit hole and see how it goes
I set up something similar in Hubitat and discovered I have another switch (3rd one for me) that is doing this. @Eric_Inovelli@EricM_Inovelli is there anything more we can do to help you get to the root of this?
My dimmer was working just fine (for a couple weeks), but now it is essentially stuck on 2.0 watts or 0 if it’s off. My other no dimming red switch is still working fine on another circuit.
I’m now seeing the behavior of reporting 1.6W at any dim level on one of my LZW31-SN’s. Seems like this must be a hardware issue rather than anything related to the firmware version.
I just found this thread after searching for “1.6 W”. My new inovelli red dimmer switch only reports 1.6W no matter what load I have on it. I tried submitting a ticket to support. I also excluded it from my network then re-added it with the config button and put it back in. Same thing. What are my options to get power reporting working? Should I return this to Amazon? Seems a shame because everything else about the switch is so great.
I’m not sure what the manufacturers solution is that is alluded to above by @kreene1987 but I do have one thing to add in case it is helpful to others: when I was removing my switch to box it up and send it back to Inovelli, I noticed that my neutral wire was run into the red screw for the “Traveler” wire, and not into the neutral wire. I can’t believe I made a bozo error like that. But… I did. And now I can confirm it is working correctly. So, this data point means that when the power monitoring isn’t working, it could be some issue with the neutral wire connection that causes it to read 1.6W. At least that was the failure mode in my case. So for folks like @john, be sure to check your neutral wire connection is good everywhere.
Thank you for the hint on what to check. My neutrals look good. I have three Red Series Dimmers in a 3-gang box and all neutrals look good. Two out of the three switches report the erroneous 1.6W. In the beginning, all three were working fine. After a week or two of operation is when I noticed the erroneous power reporting. The dimmers are controlling dumb, dimmable LED bulbs. Everything else works properly.
My date code is 0121 (upper left corner of metal face/heatsink). I just checked and one dimmer switch with this date code is showing expected load and another switch with the same date code is showing 1.7W when I expect about around 60 or 75 W.
@Eric_Inovelli - Is there a published solution for this? I’m experiencing this on three out of my four Red series switches. I filed a ticket in January 2021, but (understandably based on this thread) there was no resolve.
I am now at 2 out of 7 red switches with this same issue. I would love a resolution even if it means a little soldering work. This was a big selling feature for me to buy the red over the black. Fairly disappointed it’s stopped working.
A little worried the blue will have the same issue
