Please use this document as a resource to understand the various parameters on your Black Series On/Off switch (LZW30). We try to keep this up-to-date, but as we constantly change our firmware, there may be a mistake. Please reach out if you see anything that needs to be corrected.

Switch Parameter Descriptions

Below we'll list out the parameter number, description, range, default value, size, firmware version it was implemented and an example of how to use it.


Power On State, Invert Switch, & Auto Off Timer Parameters

Power On State refers to the state at which the switch will return to when power is restored to it (ie: after a power outage) be it on, off or last state.

Invert Switch refers to inverting the switch (where tapping up on the switch will turn the switch off and tapping down on the switch will turn the switch on)

Auto-Off Timer refers to the switch being turned off after a certain amount of time (in seconds).

Parameter 1 - Power On State

To set the behavior that your Black Series On/Off Switch enacts after a power outage, you would select Parameter 1 within your hub and then input a range of 0-2, where a value of 0 has the switch returning to the state it was in prior to a power outage, 1 equals on, and 2 equals off with the default being that the switch will return to the prior state it was in.

Range, Default, Size & Firmware Version Implemented

  • Range: 0-2

    • 0 = Returns to Prior State

    • 1 = On

    • 2 = Off

  • Default: 0

  • Size (Bytes): 1

  • Firmware Version Implemented: 1.16+

Parameter 2 - Invert Switch

To invert your Black Series On/Off Switch (ie: tapping on the up button turns your light off and tapping on the down button turns your light on), you would select Parameter 2 within your hub and then select either 0 to keep it non-inverted or 1 to invert it with the default being that the switch is not inverted (value of 0).

Range, Default, Size & Firmware Version Implemented

  • Range: 0-1

    • 0 = Disabled

    • 1 = Enabled

  • Default: 0

  • Size (Bytes): 1

  • Firmware Version Implemented: 1.16+

Parameter 3 - Auto-Off Timer

To set an auto-off timer where you can have your Black Series On/Off Switch turn off after a certain amount of seconds, you would select Parameter 3 within your hub and then input a range of 0-32767, where each interval is a second.

Range, Default, Size & Firmware Version Implemented

  • Range: 0-32767

    • 0 = Disabled

    • 1 = 1 second

    • 32767 = 32767 seconds

  • Default: 0

  • Size (Bytes): 2

  • Firmware Version Implemented: 1.16+


LED Indicator Parameters (Color, Intensity)

For a visual example of the LED Bar, please visit the Inovelli Toolbox which will show you what the various colors look like (be sure to select, "On\Off Switch (LZW30-SN)"). NOTE: The Red Series On/Off switch is shown in that link, but the values apply to the Black Series

Parameter 5 - Default LED Color

To adjust the color of the LED Bar on the Black Series On/Off switch find parameter 5 in your hub's UI and change accordingly. The easiest way to determine a color's value is to go to the Inovelli Toolbox, select, "On\Off Switch (LZW30-SN)" and then select, "LED" and use the slider to select a color (ie: 170 is blue). The default is 170 which is Blue. NOTE: The Red Series On/Off switch is shown in that link, but the values apply to the Black Series.

Range, Default, Size & Firmware Version Implemented

  • Range: 0-255

  • Default: 170

  • Size (Bytes): 1

  • Firmware Version Implemented: 1.16+

Parameter 6 - Default LED Intensity (When On)

To adjust the LED Bar's brightness on the Black Series On/Off switch when the light (load) is on, find parameter 6 in your hub's UI and change accordingly. The lower the number, the lower the intensity (ie: 0 = Off, 1 = 10%, 10 = 100%, etc). The default value is 5 (50%).

Range, Default, Size & Firmware Version Implemented

  • Range: 0-100

    • 0 = LED Bar Off

    • 1 = 10% (Low Intensity)

    • 5 = 50% (Medium Intensity)

    • 10 = 100% (High Intensity)

  • Default: 5

  • Size (Bytes): 1

  • Firmware Version Implemented: 1.16+

Parameter 7 - Default LED Intensity (When Off)

To adjust the LED Bar's brightness on the Black Series On/Off switch when the light (load) is off, find parameter 7 in your hub's UI and change accordingly. The lower the number, the lower the intensity (ie: 0 = Off, 1 = 10%, 10 = 100%, etc). The default value is 1 (10%).

Range, Default, Size & Firmware Version Implemented

  • Range: 0-100

    • 0 = LED Bar Off

    • 1 = 10% (Low Intensity)

    • 5 = 50% (Medium Intensity)

    • 10 = 100% (High Intensity)

  • Default: 1

  • Size (Bytes): 1

  • Firmware Version Implemented: 1.16+


Other Parameters

Switch Delay refers to the delay between when you press the switch and the light turns on. By default, there is a 700ms delay to account for multi-taps (scene control). In other words, the switch does not turn on right away because it's waiting for a potential multi-tap. You can turn this delay off, but you will lose multi-tap control on the paddle (you will still have it on the config/favorites button).

Parameter 13 - Special Load Type

The Black Series On/Off switch (LZW30) comes equipped with an auto-detect feature that will detect whether or not you are using an auxiliary switch or an existing dumb switch. If you are experiencing issues with your switch in a 3-Way, existing dumb switch setup, then try changing parameter 13 to a value of 1, which may fix any issues you're having assuming the wiring is correct.

Range, Default, Size & Firmware Version Implemented

  • Range: 0-1

    • 0 = Auto-Detection

    • 1 = Special Load Type

  • Default: 0

  • Size (Bytes): 1

  • Firmware Version Implemented: 1.17+

Parameter 51 - Switch Delay

To turn off the delay between when the Black Series On/Off is pressed and the light turns on/off find Parameter 51 and enter a value of 0 which allows for, "instant on/off" and will turn the light on/off as soon as you let go of the paddle. The default is a value of 1, which has a 700 millisecond delay. Please make sure you have firmware version 1.19 or above to use this feature.

Range, Default, Size & Firmware Version Implemented

  • Range: 0-1

    • 0 = No Button Delay (0ms)

    • 1 = 700 Millisecond Delay

  • Default: 1

  • Size (Bytes): 1

  • Firmware Version Implemented: 1.19+
