This works great to quickly control the island lights in sync with the main kitchen light switch (including dimming via tap-and-hold).
However one thing that is not working is the double-tap levels enabled via parameters 53–56.
The docs for Group 3 say:
If param. 53 = 1, 2x press up sends SwitchMultiLevelSet to P55
If param. 54 = 1, 2x press down sends SwitchMultiLevelSet to P56
but this isn’t working for me.
In other words, I have parameters 53 and 54 enabled, and when I double-tap on the “Kitchen Ceiling Lights” switch, I’d like the “Kitchen Ceiling Lights” to go to the levels set in its parameters 55/56, and the “Kitchen Island Lights” to go to the levels set in its parameters 55/56 and the docs say that this should happen via Group 3 Association.
Both switches are running FW 1.2.0, in case that matters.
Thanks for the reply, Peter. I wonder why it’s not working for me if it’s working for you!
If I double-tap the top of the paddle on the “sending” switch (the one where the Association is configured), just its lights change to the level set in parameter 55 — the “receiving” switch does not turn on. However, if I single-tap the sending switch, both lights turn on to the values set in parameter 13. If I then tap-and-hold, both lights brighten (top) or dim (bottom) as expected.
It seems the only problem is the associated switch not reacting to double-taps.
I do have a third switch installed nearby that I could (temporarily) set up as a “sending” switch (add the same associations to the same “receiving” switch) if that would provide a helpful data point.
Whelp, this is interesting: after setting up the same two associations on the third VZW31-SN switch, controlling the same “receiving” VZW31-SN, it behaves as expected — a double-tap on the third switch moves both lights to the level set in parameters 55/56.
Any theories? (The behavior of the original switch has not changed.)
The association on the third switch continues to work correctly to send the 2x up/down message to the second switch, but the first switch still does not — the first switch only adjust its own lights to the levels in params 55/56, but not the second switch (even though it has the same associations as the third switch…)
It’s a little unclear, but you have three switches and that associations are only working on one of them? The odds of buying three switches and receiving two defective ones is pretty low, as Inovelli has an extremely low failure rate.
I would factory reset the switch(es) and try again with a clean set of parameters. Support will ask you to do that anyway before authorizing a return, given what you’ve described.
