Switching from the Blue Series Dimmer to a Blue Series Dimmer with presence. I have a no neutral setup that uses 2 bypasses for the smart bulbs to function. After moving to the new dimmer I have the typical when the smart bulbs turn off the inovelli switch resets going cyan, green(I think) and resetting.

Do I go and try 3xbypasses due to this new switch or am I out of luck and need to go back to the old dimmer without presence? Any reports of people needing more bypasses with the new switch? I searched and did not see anything.

The new switch definitely needs more power to run the mmWave radio. You could try adding additional bypasses to see if that gives it a sufficient amount of power.

Alternatively, you could rewire at the light box to send neutral and line back to the switch (on the existing wiring) and have the lights and the switch wired always hot.

ya, rewiring it unless I did it myself would cost 100x the price of a bypass. New bypass attempt it is.
