Glad to see progress in this area! The white LED bar is a nice surprise.
@kreene1987 I agree that there’s something wrong with the changelog as clearly (GitHub’s commit record confirms) there was an update more recent that June 6th which is what is listed in the changelog.
@EricM_Inovelli Unfortunately v1.45 does not solve my smart bulb issue. I still have a blinking mess of a smart bulb no matter what smart bulb I use on the LZW31 dimmed circuit. I updated the firmware and driver uneventfully. I then set the level to 99%, set “State After Power Restored” to 99%, air-gapped the dimmer, removed the halogen PAR30, installed a smart bulb, and it was back to the blinking random rave mode…
What I now suspect might be happening is that the dimmer is ramping up when the power restores instead of simply hard switching to on. Somewhere along that ramp the bulb panics and interrupts the power. Since this is a non-neutral circuit the dimmer then goes into reset. This cycle repeats. Setting the ramp times to 0% does not solve the problem.
Strangely I can communicate with the dimmer to some extent during the resets so I am able to hack with it and watch the logs. I do not feel comfortable hardwire bypassing the dimmer so I have to solve this “the right way” if I am to use smart bulbs. What else can be done? Is it possible to add to the firmware a load type for smart bulbs that fixes all of this with one setting and disregards/overrides whatever else is set on the driver page or physically at the dimmer? Is there some other remedy someone can suggest?
I know someone rightly will ask… yes the smart bulb is known to be properly functioning on other non-dimmed power sources. It is a latest generation multicolor ZigBee connected Sengled BR30.
Thanks folks! Fingers crossed!
