Overview

Inovelli’s new dimmer switch is packed with features and designed with your house in mind.

From a hardware side we’ve upgraded our Z-Wave module for better distance and there is no longer a need for a neutral wire. The switch can be used in any 3-Way or 4-Way setting and allows you to use either an auxiliary switch, a smart switch or your existing dumb switch (NOTE: this only applies if a neutral wire is installed. If there is no neutral wire, the switch only works in a single-pole setting).

From a firmware side, this switch has it all (literally). Scene control, notifications (flashes if your garage door is left open) and can be configured on any HUB.

General Usage Information

Important: If you have a neutral wire, set parameter 21 correctly. If setting the switch up in a 3-way configuration, set parameter 22 (you may need to enable advanced settings to see this).
