GJ Software Products Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 I've been searching high and low and can't come up with a BR40 Z-WAVE Plus lamp for installation in a Halo H7-410P Downlight. What's out there for a downlight can in Z-Wave Plus sized BR40? What are you using in a Halo H7 for Z-Wave? I could always replace the switch but I don't have a neutral available and didn't have any luck in another installation with a Inovelli Dimmer and the Aeotech Bypass. I've got an Insteon bulb that has been working for years but I'm trying to move to Z-Wave. Found a couple R30s out there but none say Z-Wave plus and the R30 won't fill the trim either. Does anyone know of a Z-Wave Plus BR40 lamp they could recommend?
asbril Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) I have one switch box in my home where it is practically impossible to get a neutral wire. I tried many solutions including Inovelli but I have fallen out of love with Inovelli. Their no neutral switches gave me problems. A few months ago I installed the "No Neutral" Enbrighten 52252 Z-Wave Plus Smart Light Dimmer and it has worked perfectly since. As you may know Zwave devices really only work well when you have a good mesh network, meaning a minimum number of (non-battery) devices that cover your home. To be safe I usually include my Zwave devices close to my ISY (I built a switchbox with a plug) and then move the switch to its intended location. From time to time I get an error message in the Administrative Console that there is no communication with this switch, but to the best of my memory it has never failed to work.

I don't know if this is necessary, or even useful, but I created a program whereby the no neutral switch is always ON : IF Switch A status is <= 2 % THEN Switch A 3% So, when the switch is OFF, it still has power. With its Led bulbs, thr consumption must be minimum.
