This is the shipment with the ZWave switches?
Correct! ZWave and also an additional 5000 blue series and all colored paddles! We are still actively shipping out the blue series we have in stock. But red series and colored paddles will be a bit delayed now due to the customs search.
That’s…true, but only because they’re made in China. It’s sort of moot at this point, because I’ve been waiting since June of last year, and another week or two won’t make a difference. But considering the crazy price of these things, I can’t help but wonder if they could be made domestically for the same cost…

Thanks for the update Courtney!
Appreciate you taking the time to share.
I know this has been mentioned previously, but what’s the process to confirm Inovelli has my Red series Indiegogo order and correct shipping address?

I have an open floor plan house with a Great Room, Kitchen, and Dining room all attached (and visible from switch boxes). I have several spots I could add this switch (or add multiple), but I am wondering if 1 switch at spot 1 would handle automations for the kitchen, great room, and dining room? Or would I need to add a few around the room.
If I need a few, which locations do people think would work best? How well do these interact with each other when in the same general area? Thanks for the help!
@EricM_Inovelli I have a similiar question as well, do we have to worry about interference between switches? Obviously having 2 mmWave switches in the same junction box would be silly, but what about switches on opposite sides of an open concept like this, or switches in adjacent rooms or hallways and rooms.
Are they gonna jam each other or are they pretty resilient to “dense” deployments?
I’ve not noticed any issues with 3 switches pointed at each other across the room.

Same as @rohan, in all my testing of multiple switches I didn’t notice any interference caused by them being in close proximity.

Yes! Going to start trudging through Red Series Indiegogo orders tomorrow! Hopeful it shouldn’t take too long to get those out.

I’m very excited for this dimmer. Now that I’m getting ready for mine to arrive, I’m re-reading some documentation. In the initial post at the top of this thread, it says “Should work with an existing dumb switch”, but now I’m seeing here that it says:
3. The mmWave switch is only compatible with an Aux Switch in multi-way configurations (or another mmWave switch via Zigbee Bindings or multi-taps).
I ordered these with plans to use them in 4-way circuits alongside 2 dumb switches. Is that no longer an option? Could I at least use them as switches/dimmers if I disabled the mmWave features?
You are correct. The original PRD called for dumb switch support to be included (like the normal dimmers). Unfortunately that had to be dropped during development due to lack of space on the circuit board (mmwave hardware takes up a significant amount of space).
These dimmers cannot function at all with dumb switches since the relay and other hardware needed to handle that is not present. You’ll have to use Aux switches instead.

Got mine today, only 2 2/3 years after pay IndieGoGo. I’d almost forgotten about it.
All connected to Home Assistant and now I’ll see what I can do with it.
Hopefully there is a PDF manual because my eyes are getting too old to read the tiny script everyone uses today

Going through the manual I am finding that none of the short code links work.
Keeping in line with Eric’s previous posts once devices are shipping we will be closing this thread and creating a new thread for Bugs & Enhancements.
