Blue in single pole dimmer mode flickers and doesn't dim uniformly

Switches General Discussion

I’ve installed 3 Blue switches in on/off single pole mode without issues. I just installed my first Blue single pole in dimmer mode. The switch is driving 4 Philips dimmable BR30 bulbs. I’m replacing a Kasa dimmer which handled the dimming properly.

My Blue switch works at 100%, but ramping up, it flickers. If I attempt to dim the bulb, it doesn’t dim any until it hits about 35%, and then it starts pulsing - brightening slightly for about 1/2 a second, then dimming slightly for about 1/2 a second, and repeating.

I have this connected to Home Assistant 2022.10.5 with the lastest version of ZHA using a HUSBZB-1 controller.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

I’m experiencing a similar issue, where the bulbs flicker when dimming.

My bulbs are the Innr bulbs that are mentioned to be supported, and I’m using Z2M instead of ZHA on HA v2022.11.1. I’ve setup binding between the switch and the 3 bulbs and it’s in Smart Bulb mode.

Upgrading the firmware seems to have fixed the problem
