Home automation / Re: What's good dimmer light switch to use now in 2020?

Yeah, like all the switches that can go without a neutral they are sapping a bit of power from the other lines constantly but that needs enough draw coming through. I have never used any switch without a neutral though so I cannot say how well that works.

I am having extremely good luck with an Inovelli Red Series dimmer. My daughter loves that I can change the dimming bar color to one of her favorites. It is also very responsive and being Z-Wave Plus it reports to the controller if someone has pressed it locally (the original Z-Wave dimmer it replaced did not). I do not have mine in a 3-way config but they have pretty clear instructions that said it could be used for it.

How is it that they made it work without a neutral wire, is it battery powered when off?

EDIT: nevermind, neutral wire is required if load is under 25W

Is it still the Linear, GE/Jasco, Leviaton models that are best to use?
Is 3-way switch easy to set up?

Almond 3 / Re: Almond 3 as Wi-Fi extender not detecting devices

I have labeled all my devices and they come and go as NaN. I checked them a couple of days ago and they had names and now several of them Show NaN. I have spent hours labeling everything, so it is very disappointing to see it keep doing this. I am getting all the Mac Addresses so I can switch over to the Gryphon router seems to be a better router.  I had high hopes for this router but nothing but trouble with the two different versions of Almond routers.

Almond+ / Re: Almond+ Firmware AP2-R093

Why is the device no longer supported? Where are the promised bug fixes with the file system, disabling authorization on the 5GHz channel and others?
Is this a customer-oriented policy?

Try to sync the time app and then tap on the software update through the LCD. Thank you!

@ iphonix,

As the device already has the R108, you don't need to access the link. However, try to copy the following weblink and then try to open it through incognito mode, you should be able to download the firmware R108.
