I actually just got this working in my office. Here’s my current setup:
- Office Fan Light (controlled by inovelli red series dimmer)
- 4 Inovelli RGBW bulbs in the Fan Light (so I can use it for circadian lighting during the working day now that I’m semi-permanently working from home until pandemic ends)
So I currently had the relay turned off on the Dimmer wall switch and the bulbs were working with the zwave associations perfectly, but I too wanted the wall switch dimmer LED to show what the bulbs were dimmed to.
So using Hubitat, I created two global variables and a few Rule Machine apps and got it working this week. Fairly simple:
-
Step 1 - Create 2 variables and set them with an initial value (the “in use by” section will auto populate once you set up some rules)
-
Step 2 - Create a rule to monitor one of your bulbs dimness level and set it to map to your variable “Dim”
-
Step 3 - Create another rule that monitors the on/off state of the same bulb and set it to map to your variable “On_Off”
-
Step 4 - Create a final rule that monitors the two variables with a simple if/then condition
Happy dimming!
