I recently bought a home that has a number of older halogen accent lights with magnetic transformers, all of them with Lutron or Legrand dumb MLV dimmers.
There are also a bunch of 120v fixtures and I’ve been upgrading those the Hue bulbs. I bought a couple of Blue 2-1 switches to try out direct binding, which works pretty well - not perfectly (I should probably post separately about that) but good enough that I’m planning on upgrading most of my switches to Inovelli soon. I’ll probably throw a couple Reds in as well for the fixtures with dumb bulbs, to strengthen my zwave network.
However, I have several switch boxes that have side by side switches for both the 120v fixtures and the MLV accent lights. I’d like to install Inovelli switches in these boxes for the Hue bulbs but it’s going to look odd with mismatched switches.
Do I have any good options for these MLV fixtures? If the blue on/off switch were available I’d consider using those and forgoing dimming for now, and hoping I could eventually get dimming back using some smart bulbs (hue finally came out with some mr16 gu5.3 bulbs finally, only problem is they aren’t bright enough for me, but maybe that will change), but the on/off switches are out of stock with no ETA or preorder.
Of course the best case scenario would be for inovelli to come out with a MLV switch but I’m not counting on that ever happening.
The other option I’m considering is swapping the MLV switches for some other brand of zwave paddle MLV-compatible dimmers and hoping they don’t look too horribly mismatched with the inovellis. Would definitely take recommendations for similar looking MLV compatible switches.
