I am about to install lighting and switches in a major house renovation. Like many other posts I have read, others have gone done a similar path. I am trying to decide between the Blue series switches or Zooz switches. I initially wanted to go Zigbee (Blue) but I can’t seem to find any posts of reliable canless lights without issues. I accidently stumbled across the Inovelli compatibility app and was initially excited. Unfortunately the only 4" canless to work are the Spex LiteLine. Surprisingly the Hue Recessed lights that several people frustrated with the Juno(Acuity) lamps defaulted to, are not in the compatibility app, I was about to buy 40 of the Juno lamps until I got to the end of the thread - what a mess. I did look in the app at 6" and can assume the 4" version should be the same. The products I saw are selectable white lamps not adjustable white (software). Not interested in full color adjustment (Hue). Is the app just not updated? It has very little information about the lamps that do work. Is this populated voluntarily if someone wants to? If so how is this encouraged/requested? Are you still giving points to community members for activity? Or is this maintained by Inovelli staff? There is so much the app doesn’t tell you - How many people have reported success (Adding a up/down vote button for success or rating w/ comments would help people see how well it works). How many lights were used. How long in use? How long ago? Dimming range 1% or 30% minimum? Based on the Juno debacle the Spex light could have problems like the Juno. Another key point would be did Inovelli also test the lamps?
Are we at a point where manufactures are just figuring this out and we should wait until more light choices are available? I was also considering going with cheap Sunco dumb lamps until more choices are available and then replace later with more reliable smarter lamps in key areas of the house.
I’m hoping someone will respond and say this is not in the app but these canless lamps work great.
Thanks,
Carl
