Great progress so far on these, and excited to get them into our new home when they arrive.
However, I wanted to check on the email updates as I did not get one last week and I just joined the forum so I could send a note about that. Looking forward to this weeks update!
Iâve never been happier to be in New Jersey haha. I know itâll only cut the very end of the shipping time but Iâm so excited for these switches that getting to shave off a day makes me smile.
Hi,
Weâre about to place an order of these for our apartment renovation. Our decorator doesnât love the large screws on the faceplate. From reading these threads, it looks like these should be compatible with different faceplates like the Lutron Claro screwless option, is that right? Is there any reason using a different faceplate will be an issue? What color do we need to match the switch?
Thank you!
You can use whichever Decora style faceplate you choose. I am currently using a screwless plate version and color difference isnât too noticeable, but I believe theyâre trying to mimic the Lutron white color (donât quote me on color, I could be off).
Curious if these switches can support fluorescent lighting loads and if thereâs a config parameter that allows you to enable/disable control from the paddle (similar to the âprotectionâ command class in Z-Wave land)
Yes you can disable/enable local control.
I get it and empathize with the pickle youâre in â I donât imagine managing logistics and supply chain was high on your list of reasons to get into this.
As someone who is highly interested but not at all invested (eg, low desire to skim forum posts), it would be wildly helpful to make those updates easily accessible from the product detail pages. Someone could look at that page, order today and reasonably think theyâll see their order sometime in September. Thatâs a not great brand experience; being transparent and setting appropriate expectations typically is.
While itâs not the news I want, I now have the information I need to make the decision for the project Iâm working on. It wonât work out for our property in Michigan but weâll certainly be running Inovelli at home in Oregon and cheering for yall along the way.
Onward!
How is the power monitoring accessed via Zigbee? Is there a description of the cluster implementation somewhere?
Cluster 0x0702 Simple Metering Cluster, Attribute 0x0000: to get Energy kWh
Cluster 0x0504 Electrical Measurement Cluster, Attribute 0x050B: to get Power W
Google âZigBee Cluster Library Specificationâ for links to more documentation
Thanks. Just those two attributes implemented for instantaneous power? There is much more possible with these two clusters.
If youâre asking specifically about the Blue VZM31âŚthen yes, just those two
Power (instantaneous W)
Energy (cumulative kWH)
Is it possible to view or track power consumption using just smartthings? Thx
Yes, youâll see it on the deviceâs page in the app.
Project Update:
Confirming that production starts tomorrow (well, tonight since China is 12hrs ahead)! Talked to the manufacturer today and all is good to go. They will try to get some pictures, but they said that the first couple days are likely just prepping the lines and testing, so it may not be that exciting until next week.
Exciting that progress is finally being made!
Mightâve missed the reply, but is there any good way to estimate which batch our order is in based on date ordered or order number?
No, not really a good way until I know how many switches are being sent over. Hopefully Iâll have more info in the coming weeks on the quantities!

I may have missed it, but will OTA work now in these? Is there still some that will ship with the MG21 vs 24?
OTA works fine for firmware updates. However if youâre talking about the upgrade to Matter/Thread via OTA then no. These will come with the MG21 for now.
As long as the hub supports it. HA and Hubitat, yes. Not so sure about ST . . . havenât heard back that this is in place for them.
