Calling All Engineers - ELI5 SCR vs FET in Dimmers

[jtronicus]

Would switching away from MOSFETs affect the ability to use dumb/aux switches? I found a post of yours from a while back that suggests that was one of the reasons you used MOSFETs in the first place.

Inovelli switch mentioned in this comparison

Thanks for sharing @frcastellanos! We did stumble upon that the other day as well. Pretty good comparison. Of course we’re biased towards ours lol. The one thing I will agree where Zooz has us is their compatibility with more light bulbs. Unfortunately this was a trade-off we had to make when designing the switch to work with both neutral and non-neutral, dumb or aux switch. My understanding is that we chose MOSFET, leading edge due to the compatibility options allowed in a 3-Way situation, wh…
