Man, you nailed it. I love the design.

Man I am so excited for this option. This has been a long time needed and if the switch posted above become available with it and they can pair together without the need of being wired to each other let alone on the same circuit this will solve so many issues friends and family have. Cant wait to see what happens. Keep up the great work team.
That’s a great idea. It makes a lot of sense and fits in better with the overall Inovelli aesthetic IMO. Hopefully, this is something that is possible.
It would even make sense to use your idea for the 2-button configuration. So you have two “light bars” for notifications.
I know it’s late, but many newer fans have dual lights (upper and lower). Would be great if there were two switchable light outputs

I will also agree with what Xero said, as when I was told about Cheryl and Walt, my first thought was that I will keep my current LZW36’s and get the new canopy module and do some automations in the background to get the LZW36 to control the canopy.

I freaking love this design. I’ve been struggling to come up with something that mimics the old switch while staying within the hardware design (where the paddles touch the PCB) as I wanted a way to add the rockers, but I think this works great.
I just sent this onto the manufacturer, but I don’t see how we wouldn’t be able to do this.
Nice work!

Oh man - this would work great for my curtain / blind control idea as well! Especially if the left buttons can still be independent of the right ones
Sign me up for that configuration - left button turns fan/light on/off, with the up/down arrows controlling speed/brightness - yes please! 
Project Update:
The manufacturer is shipping the beta samples in one week!
That being said, there are some slots open for beta testing.
Here are the requirements for this project:
- You need to have a ceiling fan with a separate light attached to it
- Smart hub that supports Zigbee
- Sign an NDA
There are a couple of scenarios that we’d like to test for:
- Putting either a 2-1 or a Fan Switch in Smart Bulb/Fan Mode and use Zigbee Bindings from the switch to canopy (either have the paddle bind directly to the light or the fan and use the config button to change speed/dim)
- Using the canopy module on its own without a switch
If you’re interested in beta testing, please like this post and I will reach out to you to ask some follow up questions!

Side note, I think I will be opening this up for pre-orders sooner rather than later as this seems to be moving along rapidly.

This design is great and would provide similar functionality to the existing Fan/Light switch. One suggestion - move the up/down buttons to the left side with the LED bars on the right so that it more closely matches other Inovelli switches.

Yeah for sure - I think based on the design of the button switch you could choose either since the switch is a modular design with LED’s on both sides

would it be possible to install the button upside down to have the led bar on the right of the button ?
Yeah definitely - I think what we’d do is sell it without the etching on it so you could install it how you’d like.

I think this is a great design, but I think it would work better flipped to have the LEDs on the right side to match the design language of the other Inovelli switches.

So… two versions? With and without it 
I think there is so much value in the pre engraved switches., even if for a premium price.
Yeah I like this one better and it’s how I would do it honestly. I more was wanting to give credit to @Xero for coming up with the initial design
The beauty of this product is that it is modular so you can choose either or!

I don’t know but it seems to me that the power buttons should be on the left, the arrow on the right and the power leds on the extreme right as other Inovelli switch. To me, it is counter-intuitive to adjust fan speed or light intensity on the left. As I don’t have great photo editing skill, I won’t even try to show what I mean but maybe grooves12 could do a mockup?
Just my 2 cents.

I have a few questions regarding this:
When used with the 2-1 in Zigbee binding, does it imply you don’t need a hub?
Just to make sure I understand the basis of the 2-1 switch in combination with the canopy module, is it correct to understand that the same up/down switch will be used to dim the light and change the fan speed and that, to change from one to the other, you have to press on the config button? If not, how does it work?
Using a hub that support both zigbee and Zwave, is it possible to mix a 2-1 ZWave switch with the zigbee canopy module?
And at the electrical level, even if using a 2-1 switch, I assume the wiring diagram will involve having permanent power to the canopy module in the fan/light combo and same thing for the 2-1 switch, is that correct? Any wiring diagram available that would show this specific setup in a 3 way setup?
Thank you.

If you read up about 10 posts in the thread, you will see a mockup with the rockers on the right, which I think is what you are referring to.
Either way, I think Inovelli’s intent is to make it configurable either way.
Yes but the mockup you are referring to still have the led on the left. What I was adding is to put a split led bar on the right of the rockers to keep a similar look to the other Inovelli switch like the 2-1.
