vbPhil Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) 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. Edited March 20, 2023 by vbPhil Link to comment
brians Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 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. 1 Link to comment

Great news from UDI in a recent news post though has many hoping for full support as UDI land Insteon are working together!

vbPhil Posted July 12, 2023 Author Share Posted July 12, 2023 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. Link to comment
keepersg Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Mine configured as a dimmer. Some non-intuitive steps for changing settings. See this thread. Link to comment

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? Link to comment
keepersg Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) 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. Edited July 14, 2023 by keepersg Link to comment

I believe the intent is to do so, but I've not seen anything that indicates when. Link to comment

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? Link to comment
keepersg Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Yes, I see the dimmer value in the status box Link to comment

keepersg Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Just 0% and 100%. There's no control of dimming from the AC. 1 Link to comment
