For Polisy, 5.5.9.

Just installed a new i3 Paddle wall switch and configured it manually with the set button as a dimmer. However, IoX only sees it as an on/off switch so none of the usual dimmer controls are available in IoX like the on-level and ramping.

Is this normal behavior for the current i3 support in 5.5.9 or do I need to do something additional to make IoX see it as a dimmer?

I tried searching the forums on i3, but nothing is coming up, so I apologize if this topic has already been covered.

There is discussion in the 5.5.9 support thread about limited support for i3. Not specific to the i3 paddle however.

I suspect they will fix once they get the docs from Insteon.

Isn't this an "if" they get the documents from Insteon?

Or maybe you read something I didn't...

@vbPhil as answered above i3 aren’t fully supported yet. Great news from UDI in a recent news post though has many hoping for full support as UDI land Insteon are working together!

For an update on this topic, I reinstalled my i3 Paddle wall dimmer and IoX 5.6.2 still only sees it as a switch and not a dimmer. I don't see any way to configure it differently.

Mine configured as a dimmer.  Some non-intuitive steps for changing settings.  See this thread.

I don't see anything in that thread that indicates the i3 Paddle adds as a dimmer with all the correct dimmer configurations in the AC display. There's mention about the i3 Dial working as a dimmer. Are you sure you are saying the i3 Paddle switch is shown as a dimmer in IoX and works for you?

Sorry, I misread you post.  I did mean the i3 Dial.  The Insteon site says the Paddle is not yet supported on eisy.  I ordered one of the i3 paddles just now to fiddle with.

It don't think the dimmer is fully supported on IoX yet. I believe the intent is to do so, but I've not seen anything that indicates when.

Gotta love the proprietary mindset.

the resistance to open standards is strongest here - if that matters

Got my i3 paddle today and manually configured it as a dimmer.  It adds to 5.6.3 and the dimmer values set at the switch are correctly reflected in the AC.  No dimmer control in the AC so still a way to go before its fully integrated.  Nice looking switch with a good tactile feel.  Absence of dimmer status lights will make it difficult to use in remote location where you can't see the light it is controlling.

I removed and re-added my i3 Paddle after upgrading to 5.6.3, but it still says it's an i3 Switch in AC, and there is no % dim value shown, just on/off status. Are you seeing the dimmer values somewhere else?
 

Yes, I see the dimmer value in the status box

What values are displayed when you expand the dropdown next to the on button in the lower right corner of that screen?

Just 0% and 100%.  There's no control of dimming from the AC.
