How To: Include / Pair, Exclude / Remove & Factory Reset Switches (Gen 1)

How To: Include / Pair, Exclude / Remove & Factory Reset Switches (Gen 1)

Summary (TLDR)

This article will share how to include/pair, exclude/remove and/or factory reset your Gen 1 Inovelli switches (please se here for Gen 2 and for Fan/Light as the procedures are different). For specific information on how to do this with your specific hub/gateway, please see the links at the bottom of the page.


These procedures will work with the above Gen 1 switches (NOTE: all of them). 

Including / Pairing Your Switch 

Please follow the directions to include or pair your Inovelli switches. Again, for more detailed hub/gateway instructions, please see the links in the bottom section. 
  1. Start the inclusion process on your hub
  2. Press the top of the paddle (or lift up on the toggle) 6x rapidly (within 2 seconds)
There is an alternate way for the paddle dimmer versions of the switches which will work if the above method does not (some versions):
  1. Pull the air-gap switch out (bottom left button)
  2. Start the inclusion process on your hub
  3. Push the air-gap switch in
  4. Switch should auto-include
NOTE: To do the auto-inclusion method on the On/Off switch where the air-gap switch is not present, flip the breaker off, then start the inclusion process, then flip the breaker back on.

Excluding / Removing Your Switch

Please follow the directions to exclude or pair your Inovelli switches. Again, for more detailed hub/gateway instructions, please see the links in the bottom section.  
  1. Start the exclusion process on your hub 
  2. Press the top of the paddle (or lift up on the toggle) 6x rapidly (within 2 seconds)
There is an alternate way for the paddle dimmer versions of the switches which will work if the above method does not (some versions):
  1. Pull the air-gap switch out (bottom left button)
  2. Start the inclusion process on your hub
  3. Push the air-gap switch in
  4. Switch should auto-exclude
NOTE: To do the auto-exclusion method on the On/Off switch where the air-gap switch is not present, flip the breaker off, then start the exclusion process, then flip the breaker back on.

Factory Resetting Your Switch

Please follow the directions to factory reset your Inovelli switches. Please only follow this procedure if the Exclusion method does not work. 
  1. Turn the power on to your switch while holding up for 5 seconds
NOTE: We know this method is terrible to execute and likely requires two people -- this was something our prior manufacturer had on the switch that was never changed.
