Hey everyone,
I built this subflow that you can use to sync the LED power notification in 3-way, 4-way, 5-way, and 6-way(!) circuits with Inovelli dimmer switches.
I decided to make a subflow after I read the article about the limitations of using two Inovelli switches in the same circuit and saw that keeping the LEDs synced was ‘a pain’. I am hoping this will fix that. It’s a simple one node automation wrapped in a subflow.
To use, got to node red in Home Assistant, in the upper left hamburger, select import. Copy and paste the code below to get the subflow. The subflow has no inputs or outputs, only settable properties within the node configuration panel.

There is a slight delay syncing the two LED bars so if anyone has any ideas on how to optimize that, please let me know!
Love to hear comments, what’s broken, what could be better and see any enhancements people do.
Thanks!
