ELV+ Equivalent?

Switches General Discussion

I’m looking to buy a bunch of dimmers for my home; however, I’d like to keep all the switches in the same family instead of mixing and matching brands to keep things relatively simple. Since I want Matter compatibility, I’d like to switch everything to Inovelli. But I have a problem with one scenario.

I have a set of dimmable LED light bulbs by Buster + Punch that I love and do not want to replace with regular LED bulbs. Standard Lutron Caseta dimmers caused a constant buzzing sound, but I found an ELV (Electronic Low Voltage) switch from them that works with these dimmable bulbs without any buzzing sound.

The question I have is: do Inovelli switches accommodate ELV dimming?

Cool looking bulb!

Unfortunately, the Inovelli advises that the dimmers are not rated for ELV. That being said, the dimmers are capable of using putting out a trailing edge waveform. I don’t think you are going to know for sure unless you try it.

It looks like the On/Off White Series would be compatible with these bulbs, but they’re not shipping until July(ish) and you would lose the ability to dim the bulb.

What did you end up doing? Did you go with a mix of White Series Smart Dimmers & Lutron Caseta ELV+ Diva Smart Dimmers?
