Great review, Shane! When I first heard of these and did a bit of research, I preordered a 5 pack! I just got their email 2 days ago noting that they got their final Mater testing and OTA processes approved and will start shipping in a few weeks. I have 2-3 light switches in the house that still have a cover to prevent users from pressing the buttons and mess with my smart bulbs. Moreover, I just have several areas where I would like to use Smart Bulbs but have avoided it because of the headache. That alone would make me happy. Add in that I can control 2 other devices and get color notifications… I was in love! Can’t wait to get these and start playing with the different possibilities! Final note: thanks for showing it with the Eve Flare as I had not yet considered that as part of the set ups.

The ZigBee (Blue) and Z-Wave (Red) variants of the switch have support for 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, and long press on all three buttons (up, down, config). Not sure if that will be coming to the release version of the White Switch, or if that's a Home Assistant-exclusive thing.

I'm looking forward to trying these. The multiple tap and long press options are a game changer for scene control! I was just wishing I could find a way to automate some things that way. The LED indicator on the switch looks like it works similarly to the old iDevices wall switches where the LED is treated as a separate light. I've loved using those for notices in my automations and this one looks even better. Did you happen to notice if the switch will retain a remotely set dim level when turned off and then physically turned on? I really want automation that sets dim levels on my switches after a certain time at night but none of my current switches will remember the dim level unless physically dimmed at the switch.

This switch is what us home automation enthusiasts have been waiting for long ! However, just imagine the complexity it implies … to manage, say, some scenarios on a smart bulb plus the effects on the built in led, you’ll easily reach 10 HomeKit scenarios. Multiply this by 30 light circuits in the house. The irony is that, Matter removes the technical needs for bridges, but there seems to be a desperate need for smarter, more scalable and more user friendly controllers than the average smart speaker.

This thing definitely ticks a LOT of boxes for me. It's a shame smart switches are so expensive, as I'd love to simply replace every switch in my house but that's not feasible. Also the smart bulb feature is really great. You CAN achieve this with any smart switch by simply not connecting it fully to the circuit, but this is way easier and you can easily change the mode. Lots of colors, lots of installation options, tons of triggers, Matter/Home Assistant support, and the fact that the light can be controlled based on events is PERFECT as one thing I look for in LED lighting is the ability to both be used as notifications and to go away at bedtime.

Lutron doesn't require a bridge after setup. The Bridge is there to allow remote access or time based (Sunrise/Sunset) automations. I ran my Caseta for over a year with the Bridge disconnected because I didn't need remote access or time based automations. Requiring a Brigde is no different than requiring a Border Router. Nitpicking aside these look like excellent values. I'm pretty sure you could run a motorized load by simply inserting a relay between the switch and end point that's appropriately specc'd.
@gregg5958 10 күн бұрын
I wouldn’t say “it’s no different” as you might already have a border router in your house so the Lutron hub would be one more extra piece of hardware to plug in and find a place for. Every item added makes your set up that much more complex. Over time that can add up!

Unfortunately I couldn't get the light switch and the ceiling light fixture in the same shot to show that. If you look closely, you might can see the light coming on/off based on the brightness of the shot. It happens a little faster than it shows in the home app. But keep in mind, when using smart bulb mode, the speed of the automation is also largely affected by the responsiveness of the smart bulb being used. This is also why I added some clips showing the Eve Flare (globe light) coming on and off with the switch. The Eve Flare also connects via Thread, like the Inovelli Switch.

@@ShaneCreates Interesting, so have you gone the way of BT Thread mostly with Matter? I tested thread and had random disconnects, and tested matter over wifi and went that way. So I converted my tuya based wifi lights over to 42 wifi mater lights. In fact I just converted everything over to wifi matter or native HomeKit. I think Matter over wifi account for 53 devices (well more if you count the 17 sensors from the Aqara hub, and switchbot hub 2). Well a lot more I wont get into, but I wonder if the automation with that switch would trigger they light faster if it was controlling a wifi matter device vs thread matter device. I went with the AiDot OREiN lights and they are instant with automations from aqara sensor triggers.

Availability has always been Inovelli's weak point. Well, that and price (if you only need a "switch"). I pre-ordered a Blue series to try out, took many, many months to get. OK, we did have a pandemic to deal with, and all their products were perpetually out of stock. The Blue also has many of these options, more than I could reasonably use, so I put it in my garage (4-way, but that's a different set of issues nothing to do with them). Now that I have a few smart bulbs (outdoor sconces), I might have to think about these, especially since they are Matter. But just wiring them always hot and using the existing switch as a scene controller is working. And recently, the LED bar would have been useful by the front door to let us know if something is not secured before we leave. The fan canopy module is intriguing, although my Bond works well.

It all depends on what you are controlling. For example the button press may register fast, but the automation turning on a WiFi-enabled device may be slow. That’s what you are seeing when I control the Nanoleaf skylight. There is a slight delay but I think it’s on the Nanoleaf side, not the switch side of the automation. That’s also why I added some b-roll turning on/off the Eve Flare (globe light). That is a thread-enabled device, like the switch. So that automation is all thread.

I agree with @gregghayes6710. It should be able to do just that, depending on your setup. Inovelli makes Z-Wave, Zigbee and Matter versions of this switch. They Zigbee and Z-Wave versions even have more configurable parameters. I have a Blue series controlling my LIFX LED strips. It works great!

Yeah, Lutron requires a hub for their switches. However, they are rock solid and just work. Once setup I’ve not had to spend one minute fiddling with them. None of my other Apple home devices come close.

This seems really cool but 53$ shipping to Canada is absolutely absurd lmao

Still cheaper than Lutron.

@@ShaneCreates in Canada I don’t believe it is! you can get a Lutron switch here for around 70-80$Cad? plus tax of course that’s like 90-100$ usually free shipping depending on where you buy from vs this new switch being 153$cad taxes and shipping included

Looks like it has everything except power usage features but it definitely gots me thinking of switching from meross. Im personally not buying anything else that isn’t matter and thread
