New red Dimmer switch setup question

[hulkvsspawn]

Also:

1. verify the 10 lights do not exceed the dimmer capability
2. Set Parameter 21 to 0 (no neutral, the default is 1)
3. Set Parameter 22 to 0 ( single pole, the default is 0)

Here’s what I could pull from smartthings:
Current States
switch: on
level: 100
energy: 0.084 kWh
power: 5.6 W
checkInterval: 1920

Where do I set parameters? It looks like these are two parameters that are not configurable from the switch

Bry,
I want to point out I made a mistake earlier. I said the black wire was hot. It is not, is the white wire that is hot.

Ok, so you are wired as in Inovelli’s diagram. I honestly don’t know if on a 2-way installation if you need to have the hot attached to the Line terminal and the other to the Load terminal, or if they can be reversed. @JohnRob has stated it doesn’t matter, but I’ve never reversed them. I just recommend the hot go to the Line terminal as that matches Inovelli’s wiring diagram.

Where do I set parameters?

With SmartThings, you can set them in any of these:

1. In the IDE
2. In the App (gear settings cog on the device’s page)
3. At the switch (following the directions described on the documentation that comes with the switch)

We can’t know what the NEC folks were thinking with the new neutral requirement but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was at least partly for home automation.

I don’t know for sure either but I think it was partly that and partly a safety thing. People would turn a light off at the switch and think the power was off at the light, but there was still a hot conductor at the light.

I think I found it

I have the steps done for the smart things integration. This might be a smart things question, but I thought I’d ask in here. The two parameters Bry wants me to look at are 21 & 22.

I think they are labeled AC Power type and Switch type in the app, I changed AC Power type to No neutral. I’m assuming I change switch type to Load Only?

[Bry]

switch type to Load Only?

For a dumb switch, use 3-way toggle.

Also:

1. verify the 10 lights do not exceed the dimmer capability
2. Set Parameter 21 to 0 (no neutral, the default is 1)
3. Set Parameter 22 to 0 ( single pole, the default is 0)

parameter.parameter21default=1
parameter.parameter22default=0

In the github code line 640 and 641 of the code show the default states of parameters 21 & 22.

Lines 709 & 710 of the code states the options of the parameters:
parameter.parameter21options=[“0”:“Non Neutral”, “1”:“Neutral”]
parameter.parameter22options=[“0”:“Load Only”, “1”:“3-way Toggle”, “2”:“3-way Momentary”]

Just confirming I should set the parameter to 3-way toggle and not Load Only based off of previous comments posted.

Thanks again for everyone’s help.

Yes,

There is a table of the parameters in the instructions, however for parameter 22 its a little cryptic

0 = Load only = single way, no 3-way
1 = 3-way = 3-way with a “dumb” switch
2 = 3-way momentary = 3- way with an Aux switch.
