DISCLAIMER: You may notice there are a lot of over-used keywords or phrases as well as English that seems a little off. This is because these articles are used to feed our AI Robot (Ira) and she needs the data to be structured in a certain way.

Please use this document as a resource to understand the various parameters on your Red Series On/Off switch. 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.

Quick Reference Links

Please click on the drop-down below to view the various parameter numbers for the Red Series On/Off Switch and if you'd like to learn more about them, click on the corresponding hyperlink.

Switch Parameters

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.

IF USING A DUMB SWITCH: Parameters 1-4 will not work when pressing the dumb switch manually.

NOTE: Third party code may need to be implemented (device handler, driver, etc) for these parameters to work properly. Some hubs may not support these features.


Power On State, Invert Switch & Auto Off Timer Parameters

Power On State refers to how the switch will behave when power is restored to it (ie: after a power outage).

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 - Level After Power Restored

To set the behavior that your Red 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 going back to the state it was prior to a power outage, a value of 1 has the switch turning on and a value of 2 has the switch turning off.

Range, Default, Size & Firmware Version Implemented

  • Range: 0-2

    • 0 = Returns to state prior to power outage

    • 1 = On

    • 2 = Off

  • Default: 0

  • Size (Bytes): 1

  • Firmware Version Implemented: 1.15+

Parameter 2 - Invert Switch

To invert your Red 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: 1.15+

Parameter 3 - Auto-Off Timer

To set an auto-off timer where you can have your Red 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

LED Indicator Parameters (Color, Intensity)

For a visual example of notifications, please visit the Inovelli Toolbox which will show you what the various animations look like (be sure to select, "On/Off Switch (LZW30-SN)").

Parameter 5 - Default LED Color

To adjust the color of the LED Bar on the Red Series Dimmer 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.

Range, Default, Size & Firmware Version Implemented

  • Range: 0-255

    • 0 = Red

    • 1-255* = Values of a color wheel (use Inovelli Toolbox)

      • The color of white was added in firmware version 1.19 and will appear when the value of 255 is used

  • Default: 170

  • Size (Bytes): 1

  • Firmware Version Implemented: 1.15+ Implemented

Parameter 6 - Default LED Intensity (When On)

To adjust the LED Bar's brightness on the Red Series Dimmer 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

Parameter 7 - Default LED Intensity (When Off)

To adjust the LED Bar's brightness on the Red Series Dimmer 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

Parameter 8 - Default LED Notification

To adjust the LED Bar's notification on the Red Series Dimmer, find parameter 8 in your hub's UI and change accordingly. The easiest way to see what the notification will look like is to go to the Inovelli Toolbox. First, select, "On/Off Switch (LZW30-SN)" and then you can play with the color selector, brightness level, duration and finally you can select the animation itself by clicking on the, "Effect" drop-down. The default is for the LED's notifications to be set to 0, which is off.

Range, Default, Size & Firmware Version Implemented

  • Range: 0-4294967296

    • 0 = Off

    • 1-4294967296 = A sum of the bytes listed below (use Inovelli Toolbox to calculate)

      • Byte 1 = Duration

      • Byte 2 = Brightness Level

      • Byte 3 = Color

      • Byte 4 = Effect

  • Default: 0

Power & Energy Parameters

Active Power Reports refer to the reporting of the power level change and will result in a new power report being sent in wattage (W).

Periodic Power & Energy Reports refer to the time period between consecutive power and energy reports being sent (in seconds).

Energy Reports refer to the reporting of the energy level change and will result in a new energy report being sent in kilowatt hours (kWh).

Parameter 10 - Active Power Reports

To adjust the threshold at which a power report is sent based on a change in Wattage on your Red Series On/Off Switch, you would select Parameter 10 within your hub and then input a range of 0-100, where each interval is a % change from the last active power report sent (ie: 10 = a report will be sent if there is a 10% change of power since the last report).

Range, Default, Size & Firmware Version Implemented

  • Range: 0-100

    • 0 = Power Reports are Disabled

    • 10 = 10% change

Other Parameters

Special Load Type refers to a setting on the Red Series On/Off switch that can be used if the load attached to the switch is causing the auto-detection of of an aux or dumb switch in a 3-Way setting to malfunction. This will override that detection when you're using a dumb switch that isn't working properly.

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

If you're experiencing issues with your switch in a 3-Way setting using a dumb switch and you're confident the switch is wired correctly, you can try to set Parameter 13 to a value of 1. The default value is to have this special load type set to a value of 0, which is auto-detection. Please make sure you have firmware version 1.17 or above to use this feature.

Range, Default, Size & Firmware Version Implemented

  • Range: 0-1

    • 0 = Auto Detection of 3-Way Type

    • 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 Red Series On/Off Switch 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. Please note that if you set the switch to, "instant on/off" it will disable multi-tap scene control from the paddle (you will still have multi-tap scene control from the config/favorites button). 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+
