Use the Button Controller app to set it up - it will work well (I was doing something similar with one of my Blues before I had to take all mine offline).
The thing to watch out for is that Inovelli uses a unique button mapping structure that doesn't align one-for-one with the UI in Button Controller, so some translation is necessary as you build the corresponding button rules.
I was able to get it set up to toggle between one temperature (1000k) and off. Is there a way to set it to rotate between three temps and not have an off state?
this is what i had.. 3 way or is it 4 way.. with 3 switches for the same light. unfortunately the 3rd location had no neutral in the box and was wired such that depending on the other switchs configuration did not have power at times.. So i put a regular dimmer and extension in the two locations that did work normally and for the 3rd wonky location using this switch
its pricy but it has 2 2032 batteries and the seem to last about 2 yrs depending on use and it looks like a regular switch..
obviously thats not hooked up to anything and i just use an app called dim with me to have the non wired aux switch control the main..
Ah, OK, I better understand what you're trying to do... That's hard because what you're seeking is to have a single-tap to do multiple different things -- that's unfortunately not possible programmaticallyy.
You can either use a unique tap sequence per color (e.g. 2-tap = 2.5K, 3-tap = 4K, etc) or you may be able to get creative with hold/release... Program the hold to cycle through the desired colors every 1-2 seconds or so, and then program the release to use the color shown when released.
I don't know exactly how you'd set that up, but I'm pretty sure it's possible to do.
couldn't a variable be set, that increments with each press, eventually resetting the variable to the beginning value, and set rules that look at each variable and respond to it?
Good call -- yeah, I bet you are correct! I forget about something like that... Yeah, I'd think that could work too... I've long intended to get smarter on using variables -- I don't use many yet, but they are a powerful tool.
For any of you currently using a Blue, is the 2.05 firmware available to us (via built-in zigbee update option)?
Mine are all physically installed but are currently reset & un-paired -- I was thinking of trying to bring a couple back online here, but I'd like to confirm first if that latest f/w is available to us.
Thanks!
ETA -- I realize EricM has the latest driver updates are available via HPM, but I'm not sure about the actual f/w.
Yes, it is available from Hubitat now. If you're using Inovelli's latest driver, you'll need to basically "double click" (within about 2 seconds) the Update Firmware button to make it happen — I'm not sure they consider it a production release yet, and this is something they thought of to avoid accidental updates since there's no way to distinguish on the hub.
ETA -- we just got home from a weekend getaway, so I won't be able to try bringing some of my Blues back up until tomorrow when I can kill more power around the house (wife going to office), but it would be great to get some of them up & running.
I too will be grateful to get real confirmation from Inovelli about whether or not the entire 94:x series is impacted or just 94:34:69... The adamancy about that from some users over in that community isn't helping with the fog-&-friction -- I'm sure it's well-intentioned, but sheesh... But I know Inovelli wants to make sure they get the definite answer before weighing in, so I can wait. Thanks for your help, Robert!
I just brought my (known good) Blues back online and successfully updated f/w to 2.05...
Is there a trick to making the parameter preferences stick reliably?
When I set a switch's params and then check on it later, many of the params are reset to blank -- not the major ones, but stuff like the dimming ramp rates and power-off behavior.
I always "Save Preferences" and I've then tried just hitting basic "Config", or "Config - All" or not hitting Config at all -- none of that seems to matter.
Is there a special trick for the Blues to get the params to "stick" (and then display all of the set parameters reliably)?
Thanks!
ETA - ugh, the unsolicited ZB binding bug showed up on one of my updated 94:DE switches -- a whole bunch of INNR plugs ending up binding to it. I just factory-reset and rejoined it -- so far, so good but this binding bug usually takes 2-3 hours to manifest. I'll check everything tomorrow morning - fingers crossed!!
@user32 …I went to the inovelli site and the documents for the blue 2-1. They have since added more led effects via a firmware update on the switch which adds about 10 more. Tho idk where there is anything stating what they are.
Some are self-explanatory (solid, fast blink, slow blink, etc.), but most make some sense based on the name (pulse fades in and out, chase makes it look like the LEDs keep going up back down). Some of the new ones barely make sense at all (I guess "siren" just blinks an LED or two towards both ends of the bar?), but I suppose I can see what they meant.
Considering there are now something around 19 possibilities, I'd say your best bet is just to try them and see for yourself. If you're using Inovelli's driver, you can do this by manipulating the "Type" parameter on the "SetLedAll" command. Maybe they'll update the manual with more examples when the firmware updates calm down (they've been testing/releasing a few since initial release).
Right on -- I'm excited to eventually get some cool LED notifications set up, but that's now a super low priority until the dust settles more with the (far more important) core-performance firmware/driver updates Inovelli's focused on.
Between that and the unexpected distraction of replacing a ton of switches, I don't expect Inovelli to have many spare brain cells near-term for buttoning up niceties like the gee-whiz LED-bar stuff. And that's all totally understandable -- I'm fine with waiting on those finer details and related documentation to catch up later.
