Took the common recommendation and got the Inovelli White smart switch. Beautiful and love the LED bar, but the paddle sometimes doesn't respond, seems like an unfortunately wide spread issue (and a dealbreaker) for such an expensive switch. Zooz next? https://community.inovelli.com/t/consider-making-the-debounce-on-all-models-configurable/20983/13

Consider making the debounce on all models configurable

A push button is never going to be as snappy and solid as a full mechanical switch rated for 15A. I wish someone made a switch that was basically a real traditional rocker with an internal mechanism that physically flipped it (think the original Switchbot robot, but internal). That would have the most satisfying feel, and the highest reliability. Failing that, I think the design Inovelli went with is about as good as you can get in terms of feel and looking/behaving like a “normal” switch. That...

@christianselig I’ve got a variety of Zooz switches in my house and have never had any issues with them 👍

@christianselig I have Zooz for all the smart switches in my house. Only issue I've found is that the 4 non-main buttons on the zen35 dimmer and scene controller only do zwave actions intermittently when the main light is on. E.g. button two turns on the dining table light and works flawlessly if the main light on the switch is on but doesn't talk to home assistant at all if the main light is on 9/10 times. I may have a bad unit, I only have one.

No issues with the zen71, 72, 76, 77 though.

@christianselig I have older Z-Wave Innovelli switches and one thing that improved the responsiveness was disabling multi-tap interactions. Not sure if it's still the same way, or if it has nothing to do with your problems.

Ultimately, I started migrating away from Innovelli to Aeotec: switches are slimmer, and simpler as they don't have a light bar or action button (neither of which I needed).

In any case, thanks for sharing about the White series. I was curious about their Matter offering

@dhritzkiv Yeah disabling multi-tap definitely improves latency but this is more an issue of it never receiving the action at all for whatever reason 😐 Will look into Aoetec
