Install Inovelli switch and lights keep flickering

I installed a single Inovelli switch to a panel with two light switches. So I removed both old switches and tied the load and like together for the switch I'm not using. I want that line to be powered still for my hue lights.

So after installing the Inovelli switch I turn the power back on and flip the switch. Now my lights are constantly flickering one at a time. I ended up turning the power off so a fire doesn't start.

Any ideas?

I figured it out. I just needed to use the neutral jumper cable.

I'm now having issues pairing it with Home Assistant. I have a HUSBZB-1 stick if anyone has any advice.

Cut power to the switch via the tab if it has one or the breaker box. Put the z-wave stick into pairing, then give power to the switch.

I’ve paired many Inovelli switches and they’ve always been a breeze.

I've tried that and still have had no luck. I've also tried the tapping up 6 times method.

Do you already have other z-wave devices paired to Homeassistant?

Yup. One has been stuck in Wake Up state for awhile if that matters. But my schlage lock works fine.

I had to tap up 6 times. Here's my steps: flip breaker power on, press add node in home assistant, press up 6 times in 2 seconds on wallswitch, waiting a few seconds then it blinked.

Are you able to control the lights from the switch right now?

Yeah I'm able to control the lights with the switch right now.

Tried your steps and it didn't work.

Hey u/eggroll53 -- sorry for the delayed response, I'm actually out of country and have spotty internet. Were you able to get up and running?

No I ended up submitting a support ticket, and received some instructions. I'll give it a try later tonight. I'm starting to think it's my zwave stick, except my other zwave products works fine.

did you get it figured out?

I got it to pair after constantly pressing up 6 times and add device in home assistant. I'm having some weird issues with my zwave network right now though that I plan on trying to fix tonight.

awesome! if you have more issues let us know on the inovelli support ticket thingie. i just started at inovelli and am learning about all this dope stuff.

there will probably be a youtube series of my adventures installing everything in my condo and looking like an idiot setting it up in the next few weeks here.
