Please use this document as a resource to understand the various parameters on your Red Series Light Strip Controller Kit (LZW45). We try to keep this up-to-date, but as we constantly change our firmware, there may be a mistake. Please reach out if you see anything that needs to be corrected.

Please see the table below for a quick reference guide to the parameters on the Red Series Light Strip Controller Kit (LZW45). The table is meant to provide a high level view of all the parameters. For a full explanation of each parameter, please click on the hyperlink in each cell to be taken down the page to the appropriate section.

Below we'll list out the parameter number, description, range, default value, size, firmware version it was implemented and an example of how to use it.

Dimming speed refers to how fast or slow the light turns on when you change the dim level either remotely or locally (at the light strip) such as from 10-20%, 60-80%, etc.

Ramp rate refers to how fast or slow the light turns on when you either remotely or locally (at the light strip) bring the light strip from off to on (or on to off).
​

To change the dimming speed on your Red Series Light Strip Controller Kit, you would select Parameter 2 within your hub and then input a range of 0-98, with each interval equating to a slower speed meaning that a value of 1 dims the light strip fast, while 98 will dim it slow. The default value is 0, which will turn the strip on/off instantly.

To change the ramp rate on your Red Series Light Strip Controller Kit, you would select Parameter 3 within your hub and then input a range of 0-99, with each interval equating to a slower speed meaning that a value of 1 ramps up the light strip fast, while 98 will ramp it slow. The default value is 99, which will keep sync to Parameter 2 (Dimming Speed).

Minimum Dim Level refers to the minimum level the light strip will dim to.

Maximum Dim Level refers to the maximum level the light strip will dim to.

Auto-Off Timer refers to the light strip being turned off after a certain amount of time (in seconds).

To change the minimum dim level for how low your Red Series Light Strip Controller Kit dims to, you would select Parameter 4 within your hub and then input a range of 1-45, where the lower the numeric value equals the lower the minimum dim level (1 = 1%) and the higher the numeric value equals the higher the minimum dim level (45 = 45%) with the default being that the light strip will be at 1%.

This is typically used for fixing flickering bulbs or calibrating the bulb if it shuts off prior to 1%.

To change the maximum dim level for how high your Red Series Light Strip Controller Kit dims to, you would select Parameter 5 within your hub and then input a range of 55-99, where the lower the numeric value equals the lower the maximum dim level (55 = 55%) and the higher the numeric value equals the higher the maximum dim level (99 = 100%) with the default being that the light strip will be at 100%.

To set an auto-off timer where you can have your Red Series Light Strip Controller Kit turn off after a certain amount of seconds, you would select Parameter 6 within your hub and then input a range of 0-32767, where each interval is a second.

Default Level - Local refers to the default dim level the light strip goes to when turned on at the light strip (ie: if you set the default level to 60%, that's the percentage the light strip turns on to when you turn it on).

Default Level - Remote refers to the default dim level the light strip goes to when turned on remotely via the app (ie: if you set the default level to 60%, that's the percentage the light strip turns on to when you turn it on).

Power On State refers to the level the light strip will return to when power is restored to it (ie: after a power outage).

LED Indicator Timeout changes the amount of time (in seconds) the RGB Bar shows the Dim Level (ie: if you are actively dimming the light, the LED Bar will show you approximately what level the light is at -- the timeout is the time that indicator shows once you let go of the paddle)

To set the default level your Red Series Light Strip Controller Kit turns on to when you manually press the button on the light strip controller, you would select Parameter 7 within your hub and then input a range of 0-99, where a value of 0 means that the light strip will go to the last state it was in prior to being turned off and the lower the numeric value equals a lower dim level (1 = 1%) and the higher the numeric value equals a higher dim level (99 = 100%) with the default being that the light strip will return to the prior state it was in.

To set the default level your Red Series Light Strip Controller Kit turns on to when you remotely turn on the light strip controller, you would select Parameter 8 within your hub and then input a range of 0-99, where a value of 0 means that the light strip will go to the last state it was in prior to being turned off and the lower the numeric value equals a lower dim level (1 = 1%) and the higher the numeric value equals a higher dim level (99 = 100%) with the default being that the light strip will return to the prior state it was in.

To set the behavior that your Red Series Light Strip Controller Kit enacts after a power outage, you would select Parameter 10 within your hub and then input a range of 0-2, where a value of 0 equals off, 1 equals the the default level and color set in Parameters 7 and 9, and 2, which is the default value, being that it returns to the prior state it was in.

Active Power Reports refer to the reporting of the power level change and will result in a new power report being sent in wattage (W).

Periodic Power & Energy Reports refer to the time period between consecutive power and energy reports being sent (in seconds).

Energy Reports refer to the reporting of the energy level change and will result in a new energy report being sent in kilowatt hours (kWh).

To adjust the threshold at which a power report is sent based on a change in Wattage on your Red Series Light Strip Controller Kit, you would select Parameter 17 within your hub and then input a range of 0-100, where zero disables the reports and each interval equals a percent change in wattage.

To adjust the time period at which consecutive power or energy reports are sent on your Red Series Light Strip Controller Kit, you would select Parameter 18 within your hub and then input a range of 0-32767, where zero disables the reports and each interval equals 1 second.

To adjust the threshold at which an energy report is sent based on a change in kilowatt hours on your Red Series Light Strip Controller Kit, you would select Parameter 19 within your hub and then input a range of 0-32767, where zero disables the reports and each interval equals a percent change in kilowatt hours (kWh).

Default Color refers to the color the light strip turns on to.

# of Pixels refers to the number of pixels that are attached to the controller.

Pixel Effect refers to the effects that render across the various light strip pixels.

Quick Strip Effect refers to setting a pre-defined effect that mimics our light switches.

Custom Effect refers to an effect you can setup using 4 separate actions (transition, dim level, duration, and number of iterations).

To adjust the color of the LED Bar on the Red Series Light Strip Controller Kit find Parameter 9 in your hub's UI and change accordingly. The easiest way to determine a color's value is to go to the Inovelli Toolbox, select, "Dimmer Switch (LZW31-SN)" and then select, "LED" and use the slider to select a color (ie: 170 is blue). The default is 170 which is Blue. NOTE: The above link will take you to our switch page, but the numeric values are the same for the light strip.

The light strip controller needs to know how many pixels are attached to it if there are extensions added to it. In order to let the Red Series Light Strip Controller Kit (LZW45) know how many pixels are attached to it, please find Parameter 1 in your hub's UI and change accordingly. Each integer represents a pixel and you can choose from 1-130 pixels. The default value is 0, which means the controller will auto-detect (you must manually override this if you use light strip extensions).

To adjust the Quick Strip Effect of the light strip on the Red Series Light Strip Controller Kit find Parameter 21 in your hub's UI and change accordingly. The easiest way to determine the effect's value is to go to the Inovelli LED Strip Toolbox, and select the effect you'd like. By default Parameter 21 is set to 0, which is off.

To create a custom light strip effect on your Red Series Light Strip Controller Kit (LZW45), you'll need to change four different parameters (22, 23, 24, 30) which set the effect's color and transition, level, duration and number of iterations. Parameter 22 on the Light Strip Controller Kit will change the color and transition of the light strip custom effect and to determine the value, please see the LED Strip Toolbox Calculator. The default is for the custom effect to be set to 0, which is off.

Light Strip Delay refers to the delay between when you press the button on the light strip controller and the light strip turns on. By default, there is a 700ms delay to account for multi-taps (scene control). In other words, the light strip does not turn on right away because it's waiting for a potential multi-tap. You can turn this delay off, but you will lose multi-tap control on the paddle (you will still have it on the config/favorites button).

To turn off the delay between when the Red Series Light Strip Controller Kit is pressed and the light turns on/off find Parameter 51 and enter a value of 0 which allows for, "instant on/off" and will turn the light on/off as soon as you let go of the paddle. Please note that if you set the light strip to, "instant on/off" it will disable multi-tap scene control. The default is a value of 1, which has a 700 millisecond delay. Please make sure you have firmware version 1.47 or above to use this feature.
