Question

Any word in availability of the new c by ge switches that don’t require a neutral and whether they’ll be st compatible? Also, need to replace my Lutron (no neutral) because after more than a year of working fine it (and a replacement) decided to stop being compatible with my lights. Any good suggestions?  

Answer 1

Inovelli dimmers have been great for me! I have one in a 3-way setup with a GE add-on for our half story upstairs that didn't have neutrals in either switch box

Did you have to use a bypass when not using a neutral? This isn't a 3-way setup.

@cycad I did use a bypass for my setup because it's for an LED light so under the 25watt limit. Before I had the bypass, the switch worked except on the edges of the dimming range. I actually just set the min/max brightness for the switch so I wouldn't hit those edges until I got the bypass. The bypass was super easy to install too

@dallasdalli2 If I can just set the min/max that would work. The lights are very high up and getting to them, even through the attic would be very challenging (I didn't put them in). I don't dim them much, if at all anyway.

@cycad your mileage may very with setting the min/max. Mine had to be set so that the max level was pretty noticably dimmer than 100% brightness.
