Ceiling fan light flickers using Inovelli blue series controller

timloga · May 22, 2026, 3:43pm

I've got the ceiling fan and light working in Hubitat.

ceiling fan/light: Casa Vieja 54" Hermitage Rustic Vintage Indoor Outdoor Ceiling Fan with Light LED Remote Control Dimmable Golden Forged Distressed Walnut Blades Damp Rated Patio Exterior House Porch - 24" Downrod - Amazon.com
controller: Blue Series Smart Fan/Light Canopy Module | Inovelli
But the light flickers when changing and even at most levels.
I've played with some of the device ramp rates but had no luck. Any ideas ?

I'm guessing the LED is built in, and not all LED are fully compatible with Inovelli dimming. There are options for leading edge vs trailing edge dimming in the switch config. have no idea what that means or does but changing it might help. Try the Inovelli forum, they have tons of info on dimming

What firmware version do you have for the Inovelli switch? I have about 50 of the Inovelli blue switch/dimmer units that caused flicker with a variety of LED bulb brands until the latest firmware was installed.

LED dimming is a strange thing. I think it has to do with how the power is limited. I think in Zooz switches it is the difference between between Triac vs Mosfet dimming switches. of course that doesn't apply here though.

I'm emerging from the rabbit hole that is "unable to update firmware bug". Waiting on Inovelli to send me the special programmer needed to update the 1st batch of blue switches to V3 firmware

Maybe try a bypass at the led integrated light at the fan? See post below. I’m not an electrician. Sounds like similar issue
