Association Question for 3 Way Dimming of "Master" switch

[RyCam]

@skarden

I did an association on the Hall side switch to the Den side switch on Group 2. I also did an association for both of them from Groups 3 and 4 to the other. So I have 5 total associations. BTW, I did try it first with just doing associations on Groups 2 and 4 from the Hall side to the Den side (i.e. from the line side to the load side) and one back from the Den side to the Hall side on Group 3).

From what I’ve read, I believe you should have 4 associations - only group 3 and 4. Group 2 would be used instead of 3&4 with another device that doesn’t support Multilevel Switch Command Class, like the LZW30-SN.

Dumb switch for 3-way

Just 3 and 4…

@skarden

Everything is working, including LED sync except when I try to dim from the Hall (non-load) side. I see the LED going down, but it basically just shuts off the light. I’m thinking that it may be working, but it is so slow, and the lights only dim to about 40%, that I can’t react fast enough (or perhaps more accurately, the dimming doesn’t happen fast enough).

I think the dimming is not working because of the Group 2 association on the Hall side.

Inovelli Red dimmer has 3 groups in this regard.
Group 2 sends a BasicSet command, namely just an ‘on’ or ‘off’ when the top or bottom paddle is pressed.
Group 3 sends a SwitchMultiLevelSet command- when you change the level of the dimmer, it sends the resulting level. This can keep multiple dimmers in sync.
Group 4 sends MultiLevel(Start/Stop)LevelChange commands- when you hold down the paddle, it sends StartLevelChange and when you let go it sends StopLevelChange.

Thus groups 3 and 4- Group 4 gives you live dimming / LED bar response when you dim. Group 3 keeps multiple dimmers in sync.
