Inovelli smart switches feature LED notification bars and extensive customization. This guide covers common issues.

Switch Won't Pair

Zigbee or Z-Wave pairing issues:

  • Air gap: Pull out air gap switch, wait 10 seconds, push back in
  • Factory reset: Hold config button 20+ seconds until LED turns red
  • Pairing mode: Tap config button 3x quickly for pairing mode
  • Zigbee channel: Try changing Zigbee channel if interference suspected
  • Z-Wave exclusion: Run exclusion on hub before trying to include
  • Close to hub: Pair while switch is close to hub, then install

LED Bar Not Working Right

Notification LED issues:

  • LED disabled: Check if LED bar is disabled in parameters
  • Brightness: LED brightness may be set very low - adjust in settings
  • Color settings: On/off colors configurable - may be set to same color
  • Notifications: Notification effects override normal LED behavior
  • Clear notifications: Send clear command to stop active notification

Dimming Issues

When dimming doesn't work properly:

  • Bulb type: Configure switch for LED, incandescent, or other load type
  • Min/max brightness: Set minimum level to prevent flicker, max to prevent buzz
  • Ramp rate: Adjust dimming speed in parameters
  • Neutral vs non-neutral: Non-neutral installs may have dimming limitations
  • Smart bulb mode: Enable for smart bulbs to keep power constant

Multi-Tap and Scenes

Button scene configuration:

  • Enable scenes: Scene/multi-tap must be enabled in parameters
  • Hub support: Your hub must support scene commands (central scenes)
  • Button mapping: Up/down, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, hold, release all available
  • Config button: Config button can also trigger scenes
