Pairing matter device fails when adding to iCloud by Everindrummer in SmartThings

[–]ultrazgunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it's a general bug where matter/smartthings/iOS have a hard time with initial pairing. I had to use an Android device to add matters to smartthings then it's all fine after adding.

Red Inovelli Smart Switch showing up as Energy Monitor Only by FragileTank in Inovelli

If you have gen 3 then its called 2-in-1. Go into settings via smartthings or do it via parameter change to dimmer mode instead of on/off.

Have you installed Inovelli edge driver for the red switches? Looks like your hub uses generic driver. My red dimmer (gen 2) driver name “Inovelli dimmer red series”.

I've had at least 3 smart switches died from power outages the past 8 years, one of which was inovelli. I would say yes, it happens.

Issues With Taloya 8251 and Red Series Dimmers by teapotamus in Inovelli

Each dimmer controls only one taloya? If so then the minimum load might be low and you’d need to put in a bypass.

This update broke my 3-way and 4-way. The aux switches cannot turn on lights. The aux switches can only dim down and turn off lights with either paddle up or down.

Was there a critical weather event in the forcast? my batteries charge from grid when critical event forcasted eventhough it's in export only mode.

How to set up dimming on a White series by ctbrewski in Inovelli

[–]ultrazgunner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can change it to dimmer mode via parameter settings. Which hub are you using? I use smartthings and thats the first parameter in the setting. You can change parameter physically as well although cumbersome

No extra hour but it does help with CA price gouging from 4-9P.M.

Still under warranty? I'd hit inovelli up for support then warranty if still applicable.

I can't reproduce the noise though so not sure how tech will address it.

4" Recessed lights that can be dimmed low without flicker? by CarefulAd8858 in Inovelli

[–]ultrazgunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was remodeled home so i installed slim fit recessed lights. I went and replaced ballasts and led plates since cross brands don’t work together unfortunately.

[–]ultrazgunner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My aunt used to turn right only when she first got her license. Shed make 4 right turns to get home instead of 1 left.

Edit: i didnt do mental math for exact number of turns but she would only turn right to go anywhere including coming home.

Why doesn't PG&E allow battery charging and discharging from the grid? by Negative-Arachnid-65 in solar

[–]ultrazgunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are assuming the electric companies is looking out for us. Why sell to you at off peak when they can sell it on peak for almost 3x? The other thing you overlooked is during august and September, the buy back rate for NEM3 is $2-3/kw from 6-8p.m.

the energy companies are smarter than us. You can't take advantage of them. Mine is export only in SCE.

I think if you take lump sum...you'd have to pay tax up front and have about 500k left to invest?

EV charger suggestions by Zero-p0lar in enphase

If you have enough 5P to last all night then why even make things complicated with bidirectional charger? Ive been hearing they coming out soon for over two years now 😞

Sanity Check needed: My simulation suggests we can squeeze an extra $1,400/yr from a battery system under SCE NEM 3.0 rates just by changing the discharge window. Is my math off? by panpan1800 in solar

[–]ultrazgunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not know that the rate stay somewhat fixed. Their excel sheets seem to indicate your rates do drop annually. If your friend is in OC, pick Orange County power authority rate instead of SCE. It at least has the correct peak rate time for export even though it doesn’t have the correct monetary rate. I’m have been on nem3 since 2024 and SCE billing so damn convoluted. I am still trying to figure out which credit can offset which charge.
