I've just connected an Innr SP224 to my Conbee2/deCONZ setup. Automagically created a device in HS3, very nice!
I plan on using this to control a USB transformer that powers a non-dimmable LED lamp on a fish tank. Over the years I've learned to be very specific about which devices get shown as on/off switches, and which ones get shown as dimmers. It's usually a bad plan to have non-dimmable devices connected to a dimmer. So I've made it a habit to check when devices are set up.
I look at the Configuration page in HS3 for it and it shows the "Is Dimmable:" box as Checked, but grayed out. That is, I can't click it to toggle it. The "Is Light:" box is also checked, and I can toggle that (but don't need to in this particular use).
I will be trying to use one of these as a Zigbee extender in an outdoor cabinet that powers a Rachio irrigation controller. I don't plan on controlling the device with this (other than, perhaps, the rare situations where I'd want to power cycle the Rachio). Thus I'm guessing I'll uncheck the "Is Light" box to take it out of any lists that might search for lights.
Anyway, back to this particular use, when I look at the Status Graphics tab for the device it only lists -1 unreachable, 0 off and 255 on. But does still say Dimmable: yes on the Advanced tab.
It's not a big concern, just a curiosity.
