Red Series Dimmer Switch (Z-Wave)

These are, hands down, the best smart switches on the market. The amazing thing is that they're also the least expensive option too (among other Z-Wave switches), even with a recent price raise which in my opinion is more than fair given what Inovelli provides their customers. I'm running Home Assistant, and the experience has been seamless and smooth. The switches pair to my Z-Wave USB stick within minutes. They are very responsive and infinitely customizable - perfect for someone like me who likes to tinker and have things just the way I like them, but falls short of the "soldering and breadboards" type of tinkering (ie Sonoffs and Shellys in the walls... but if I'm honest, Inovelli switches work way better and are plug and play). It also is super apparent that Eric and the other Inovelli founders/officers care a great deal about their products and want people to have a great experience with them. There are detailed instructions in the manual, on their website, in the forums (both here and over on HA's forums, and I assume the other smarthome software forums). I had some trouble programming scenes, and within an hour or two and a few forums posts, I had things up and running, and most of the problems were my fault because I skipped a couple steps setting them up. Read the manual and you'll be fine. Inovelli is responsive, great to work with, and I have become such a huge fan just in the last few months that I am rewiring my entire house to use Inovelli switches (the exception being a few of GE's Addon switches for 3 and 4-way circuits to save a few bucks). If you are in the market for a Z-Wave switch, buy this, and buy it now! They're so highly sought after that they go out of stock more often than I'd like (which is probably my only, very small, complaint about Inovelli :)

It just works! Easy to install, easy to setup in a wide variety of configurations, and it works consistently.

Our Family business has installed Automated Lighting Systems for over 28 years. To test this line, we added these switches to our test wall with over 100 other Z-wave light switches from other brands. We then ran many tests. The Inovelli products never skipped a beat! Great Switches!

This dimmer works wonderfully for our setup, works great with smart bulbs! I only wish that aux paddle worked with scenes as well. Ended up stringing 3 of them together for now.

Lots of features to customize and works great with Hubitat

There is almost no limit to what you can do with these switches. I recently purchased nine of them to try out, and have only begun to scratch the surface of what is possible with them. I have a Hubitat C7, and as of 01/2021 the setup is pretty easy. Single switches work great out of the box, and 3 and 4-way switches work well using the Z-wave Association Tool. I haven't figured out how to sync the LED bars on those switches, but I'm sure it's possible and this was something that was clearly stated in the limitations of multi-switch configurations as something we would have to work out ourselves. I'd love to see this become a part of associating one switch with another, but a ready-made solution may not be the responsibility of Inovelli, though I would love to see it either from the community or Inovelli itself. The trouble I have found so far with these is pairing them with S2 security. In many cases, when you are presented with the dialog to enter the pairing code and it is entered correctly the switch will revert to S0 instead of S2. As someone who wants the best possible security in all network architectures, this is frustrating. Especially considering that the association tool only works across equal security levels. My initial observations are that any time a switch decides that it must communicate to the hub through another switch, S2 pairing becomes impossible and the switch will revert to S0. My workaround has been to physically move my Hubitat close (3 feet) to the switch for pairing and then move it back to where I normally keep it. All the switches are on 1.48 firmware, and my C7 is updated.This is annoying because when paired at S0 the device clearly has signal, and an Inovelli switch in the same 2-gang switch box will pair at S2 just fine. I will probably end up getting more now that I know what it takes to get them paired, but this sort of paring nonsense can only take place when I'm the only one awake so as not to diminish my WAF because the whole house has to briefly stop working in order for some new devices to be added.

Um-believable number of features! My first z-wave devices on Hubitat and am very happy with the results.

LOVE these folks' products. They are easy to pair (am using a Hubitat Elevation) and perform beautifully. One nice thing about Inovelli is that not only can you change the color of the LED (it comes blue), you can also buy different paddles. Houses even ten or more years old often have ivory switches (and some have brown or black); with Inovelli, changing the paddle is a 10-second job and really makes a difference in helping blend in with existing switches.

This is an unbelievable Smartthings light switch that does not require neutral wires. I regret not finding out about these before I bought so many other worse, including major, brands. Customization is not too complicated as long as one follows the cheat sheet - the upside is the functionality is so much more enriched compare to other brands. One downside is these often goes out of stock. I wish I can order as many as possible but I will continue to wait until they are back in stock.
