I’ve recently installed several Inovelli Blue switches and have been exploring their LED customization features. While it took some digging, I figured out how to control the 7 LEDs of each unit to create a sleek and functional setup. Here’s what I learned and how I implemented it:
-
Understanding the LEDs: Each Inovelli switch has 7 LEDs that can be used individually or as a group. The bottom LED can be set to a faint red to indicate the OFF state, while the others remain off. Outside of nighttime, all LEDs sync with the default color and intensity, providing a cohesive look.
-
Rule Machine Setup: I created a Rule Machine rule to automate the LED behavior. During nighttime, only the bottom LED is active in red. During the day, all LEDs follow the default settings, ensuring consistency and visual clarity.
-
Parameter Adjustments: To ensure the LEDs behave as intended, I adjusted parameters 95, 97, 96, and 98 in the Inovelli app. These parameters control the color and intensity of the LEDs during ON and OFF states, allowing for precise customization.
-
Visual Notifications: I also explored using the LEDs for notifications, such as indicating when a door is opened or a motion sensor is triggered. This adds an extra layer of functionality without compromising the switch’s primary purpose.
-
Reverting to Defaults: It’s important to remember that any individual LED settings must be reverted to sync with the default ON/OFF behavior. This ensures that the LEDs don’t conflict with the overall switch functionality.
If you’re looking to customize your Inovelli switches, I recommend starting with the default settings and gradually experimenting with individual LED configurations. The Inovelli Switch Toolbox and parameter list in the Help Center are invaluable resources for fine-tuning your setup.
