This is more of a curiosity than anything else. This week I’ve been getting alerts on my 20+ Inovelli White switches that they are getting updates (this is the first time I’ve seen this, I’ve had them for about 9 months now, a few switches are updating each day for the past three or four days).
Apple Homekit is telling me that they are now capable of “adaptive lighting” (I thought they already could do this, so I’m a bit confused). 
Since I don’t have a lot of new smart tech to add, I’m somewhat curious to take advantage of this new feature. Any tips/tricks about using this? Do you find it helpful/useful? I presume I have to get smart bulbs (I have incandescent in most of these fixtures). I’m curious if you feel like it’s worth the money to replace perfectly good bulbs to enable this feature (if smart bulbs are indeed needed).
Thanks for any advice!
This is talking about the LED notification bar. Don’t enable it on the switch itself. This is a per bulb feature and it’s great on smart bulbs but it’s not a feature of the switch.
Click that set up adaptive lighting and uncheck all the Inovelli dimmers. There’s been reports of it causing unwanted behavior with the led bar. This should get rid of that annoying notification every time you open the home app. If it forces you to turn it on to get rid of the notification, that’s ok, just go to each individual led bar light and select any other color than the yellow with sun icon in it (adaptive lighting all the way to the left) which will disable adaptive lighting until it is selected again manually.
Adaptive lighting in general is pretty great. It gradually transitions between ~2700K-5000k throughout the day so at peak daylight the lights will be white and at night they go down to more amber. It’s great for your eyes and brain.
Thank you so much for the explanation! I’ve got it set as you said, it being for the LEDs makes more sense!
