Hubitat Blue 2-1 Driver Not Updating Switch Status

Switches General Discussion
, , ,
#1

I am using hubitat c7 with the Blue Series Dimmer. I notice my device switch attribute doesn’t get updated pretty much ever for all 5 dimmers I’ve tried. I turned on the debugging and it looks like the switch is getting a response but the driver doesn’t update.

Hubitat logs:

I did an on() call then an off() call. The light correctly turned on/off, but the switch attribute didn’t change.

Looks like the code is reaching Line 1186 at Hubitat/inovelli-dimmer-blue-series-vzm31-sn.groovy at master · InovelliUSA/Hubitat · GitHub then does nothing since parameter 51 is 0.

The dimmer is configured as a dimmer with 3-way dumb switch. These are the state variables:

Hmmm… It’s working for me with Smart Aux and No Aux. :thinking: Can you try setting it to “None” (no aux switch) and see if the switch state updates? You can do the test with the dumb switch still wired in.

parameter 51 is the number of bindings. It should be 0 unless you configure this switch to be bound to another device. This is not really the issue, just happens to be in the same section of code.

#3

I am having a similar problem. I am using hubitat c7 using the Inovelli Driver and binding them to some Philips Hue bulbs using the Zigbee Bindings App. The bulbs are directly connected to hubitat (no Hue hub). The switch is setup in smart bulb mode and is wired single pole with a neutral wire.

When I use the blue switch manually, the lights turn on a function correctly, but hubitat does not register their state correctly (e.g. the lights are on, the switch LED correctly displays their level, but hubitat shows that they are off)

When I turn on the lights virtually via hubitat, the blue lightswitch LED bar does not sync appropriately (e.g. the lights are on, hubitat shows that they are on, but the switch LED incorrectly displays their level as off).

Is there anything I’m missing in order to get them synced up?

So I suspect the problem for me is tied to Blue Series 2-1 Signal / Routing / Performance Issue Troubleshooting Thread - #119 by bgreet. It looks like there is a different message that is sent for “on” / “off” state, but for some reason that message isn’t sent consistently. I have seen it sometimes in the logs. Yet the message for ON_OFF_CLUSTER is sent often for some reason.
