Got it, yeah I can whip up some instructions before it releases!
Edit: got bored and took some screenshots of how to do it with the Red Series (we don’t have the child device toggle built into the Blue Series handler yet)
Basically, here’s how you do it (I will write a more professional one later).
I think the way the PCB was implemented, this was not possible. I have a response, but if I’m being honest, I don’t really understand the engineering as to why it wouldn’t work and why it was abandoned.
One of the downsides of not having an engineer on the team is that we have to trust what the manufacturer’s engineer says and there’s a language barrier.
I’m confused what is being said here. Im running a 3-way with Blue Series Smart Switch and White Series AUX switch using the traveler wire. Works fantastic!
Has anyone tested if the blue series can repeat Aqara sensors with Hubitat? I know the Aqara sensors are very picky about repeaters and don’t always work well with other
I have some Aqara contact sensors with Home Assistant that I joined via the switch. While that doesn’t directly answer your question, I would at least expect the switch behavior itself to be similar across hubs.
Unfortunately HE doesn’t provide the option that Zigbee2MQTT has, where a new device can be commanded to join the network via a specific router. “Sticky” devices like some Xiaomi and Aqara sensors do much better when you can configure the router right off the bat - they rarely move from that router once set. Makes it a lot easier to keep the network healthy and happy when you can manually avoid incompatible routers. HE is far behind on Zigbee features, imo
I will apologize in advance for asking questions that may be already answered through this thread:
Is this switch expected to work better with LED light bulbs then the red series? I mean broader light bulb compatibility, smoother dimming and a best overral user experience with LED lights or, can I expect the experience to be the same as the red ones?
I’m already sold on it, it looks like a game changer for Inovelli (and all of us), I’m just looking for additional excuses to replace all my red series
I apologize if this has already been asked, but a quick search didn’t turn up anything.
Is it possible to bind the Blue Switch’s scene controls (i.e., double tap, triple tap, etc.) to a smart light bulb not hard wired to it? The use case I’m thinking of is a Blue Switch hardwired to the room ceiling lights for single press and dimming, and then double tap for controlling a smart bulb in a floor lamp elsewhere in the room.
Obviously, if the direct binding doesn’t work, it could easily be automated via a hub and scene events. Just thought I would see if its possible to gain the speed/efficiency of direct binding.
