In my particular setup I'm using the single pole, power at switch configuration and matched up the wires with what was in my wall/ceiling/fan. The proper way to wire your setup will vary depending on what's in your walls. help.inovelli.com/en/articles/8665269-blue-series-fan-light-canopy-module-wiring-schematics If you're still having an issue I'd recommend posting in the Inovelli community with pictures of your wires; otherwise I'd just be guessing at the appropriate configuration for your setup. I'd also recommend double checking that your wires are properly bound together; some of these fans use fairly thin stranded wires and it's easy to not have proper connectivity.

@@socbrian Directly binding results in a faster response because it doesn't require the roundtrip through the coordinator, processing by Home Assistant and back to the target device. It also will continue to operate even if the coordinator (or HA) is down which is critical for spouse acceptance factor!

@@uses0ap it's a Hampton Bay fan from Home Depot that shipped with an RF remote setup. I've got 3 near identical fans all running this same setup now. That said, I've migrated them to ZigBee2MQTT instead of ZHA since making this in order to do upgraded binding and not need to create the whole extra automation for the config button.

@@averagejoestech Please do make that video. I just switched to zigbee2mqtt and i have no idea how to get anything to work lol

This should walk through how to do it in Zigbee2mqtt kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoGZdpd6iKaYfZI

@@emilianoruiz7681 Yes you will need a ZigBee coordinator to form the network. The simplest setup for Home Assistant and ZHA is the ZBT-1 (previously Home Assistant SkyConnect) USB dongle.

I would expect the Thread version to work the same, though it will be interesting to see how the binding over Thread works. It looks like they're using the same molds for the module so it should fit in the canopy the same way too. It's a way easier fit than the old Z-Wave/RF unit they had. Yes, AC fans only with this setup.

@@averagejoestech gotcha, thanks for responding! I have one more question though. If the switch to my fans control all power to the fan as in the light and fan aren’t separated, will using this setup still work? From everything I’ve seen it seems like it should work. I’m just confused on how I can dim the lights AND control the 3 speed motor in my fan. Maybe I have to press the small button to switch between controlling the light and the fan?

@@MajorPickleSwag Yes that scenario is exactly what this is designed for! My house was only wired for a light up top. I added a reinforced fan bracket, and now use a single smart switch to control the light with the main portion of the switch, and then I press the small button on the switch to toggle the fan through the 3 speeds and off (the way an old school fan chain works). After making this video I eventually ended up flashing a switch with the newer firmware and moving to ZigBee2MQTT. It's simplified the binding substantially. I may try to make another video of how that process works (and a clearer video of the end result) soon.

No, it seems that while Inovelli has tried to integrate with them, they were rejected from the "Friends of Hue" program. You'll need a more open ZigBee hub or stick software to utilize one of these Blue switches. I've successfully run them on Home Assistant ZHA, ZigBee2MQTT, SmartThings, and Hubitat.

Here's my automation: action: - service: fan.set_percentage target: entity_id: fan.inovelli_vzm36_canopy_module_fan data: percentage: > {% set current_fanspeed = state_attr("fan.inovelli_vzm36_canopy_module_fan","percentage") | int(0) %} {% set new_fanspeed = current_fanspeed + 33 | int %} {% if current_fanspeed >= 100%} {% set new_fanspeed = 0 | int %} {% endif %} {{new_fanspeed}} mode: single

There is an option for Output Mode where you can switch between OnOff and Dimmer modes. When in dimmer mode a tap turns it on or off and a press and hold adjusts the brightness up or down. The LED bar adjusts to show the current output level.

I'm not using anything special to get that to show up, it's just how ZHA recognizes its capabilities. Are you maybe using the Zigbee2MQTT integration instead of the ZHA integration to link your Zigbee devices to Home Assistant?

@@averagejoestech No, I'm using ZHA. It's a fresh installation with everything up to date so I don't understand what is going on... I can set the values through the clusters but that's just hard...

​@@Niklaos maybe it just didn't auroconfigure correctly when it joined to the mesh? Per someone on the Inovelli forums you might want to try removing the switch and re-adding it. community.inovelli.com/t/home-assistant-doesnt-show-all-configuration-settings/12074

@@averagejoestech thanks! I'll try that and report back.

If you want them to then yes! There's a toggle for "Smart bulb mode" which will provide constant power.

Bertysolo - Swings

Yes! If you're just looking for the Assistant features and aren't a picky audiophile, the Mini is a far better value (especially with all the deals going on during the holidays!)

I would also like to know

Swings - Bertysolo :)

I mean the use is just the same

The bigger one if you like more bass in your music, and if you like the look of an air freshener. ;) Otherwise, the mini is just fine.

+Elvia Castillo The large one is now called the Amazon Echo 1st Generation. To the best of my knowledge it is only available as a refurbished unit at this point, but Amazon refurbished items carry the same warranty as the original product. Link here: www.amzn.com/B00Y3QOH5G/

Joe Kersch the thing is that i bought de 2nd generation but it has only de charger, and the speaker, not included the small base that turn on the light around the circle and same that has de volume and also dont have any remote control 😩 should i returned? Or its can be used? Maybe I need to buy the other parts?

+Jason Matthew I haven't gotten hands on time with either of them but I don't really see the point in the Plus. A more capable smart home hub like Smartthings can be had for the $50 you'd spend to upgrade. If I was buying today, cared about sound quality, and was staying in the Alexa exosystem I'd be looking at the new Echo.

+Jason Matthew We've actually migrated our whole house over to Google Home. I've got a comparison of the Home and Mini, but hoping to get something together soon about why I switched. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5C4iIaiiNCVrck

Ashley, it will draw power when connected to a laptop over USB, but won't link up to do anything more than that.

&Not2Yield Not that I've noticed. From my experience with it the farfield microphone array in the smaller units is functionally identical to that of the larger Echo. (And this is presumably the case on the Gen 2 dot currently available as well)

Thanks for your prompt and coherent response. Most helpful. Keep up the good work.
