Zigbee Binding • Blue Series 2-1 Switch • SmartThings
REMINDER:
This switch is only to be used to control lights (except ballasts or any lights connected to a transformer). Do not use the switches on outlets, fans, or any other inductive load.
Below you'll find the instructions to setup Zigbee Binding (both individual and group) for the SmartThings platform using the Blue 2-1 Series switch.
DISCLAIMER
While we (and our community) try to keep these instructions up to date, it’s often hard due to the many updates to our firmware, SmartThings app & platform changes, as well as many other factors outside of our control. If any updates/edits need to be made to these instructions, please comment on this thread so we can keep it up-to-date:
COMMUNITY DRIVEN
Our entire Knowledge Base (which includes manuals) is community driven. This means that we at Inovelli work together with our amazing community to keep articles up-to-date.

Zigbee Binding Overview
Zigbee binding is when two or more Zigbee products communicate directly with one another without the need to communicate with a hub. There are two main benefits of utilizing Zigbee binding: speed & local control.
From a speed standpoint, cutting out the middle-man (hub) can save precious milliseconds or even seconds depending on your cloud and/or processing power off your hub. Whereas from a local control standpoint, if your hub goes does down and cannot communicate, your products can still talk to each other.
Below is a quick video that shows the speed of Zigbee Bindings:
NOTE:
The above video is using Home Assistant via ZHA (however, the speed is identical using SmartThings).
Lastly, there are two different ways to setup Zigbee Binding: Individual and Group.
-
Individual Binding:
You are binding one Zigbee product to another
- Group Binding: You are binding one Zigbee product to a group of other Zigbee products (ie: used for 3+ bound devices)
Prerequisites
There are two prerequisites to setting up Zigbee bindings with your Inovelli switch in SmartThings and they are:
* Ensure what you're binding to your switch is Zigbee and supports Zigbee binding
* Your Inovelli switch is using an Edge Driver
If you are binding a Blue Series Switch to a Philips Hue bulb, you will need the Hue bulb to be paired directly to the SmartThings hub (ie: it cannot be paired to the Philips Hue bridge). Zigbee bindings only work if each Zigbee device is on the same hub.
Compatible Products
We’ve tested Zigbee binding with the following Zigbee products on our switches:
Edge Driver Check
Before we get into setting up the bindings we need to make sure that your Inovelli switch is using the Inovelli Edge Driver (it should by default be picked up when you paired your device, just in case it hasn't we can check quickly). It will make it easier if the device you're binding to the Inovelli device is also using an Edge Driver, but it can be done without one.
The quick and easy way to determine whether or not your devices are using an Edge Driver is to do the following:
- Open up your SmartThings App and click on, "Devices" at the bottom
- Search for the device you want to check and click on it
-
Click on the three dots at the top right and look to see whether or not it says, "Driver" (if it does, then your device is using an Edge Driver)
Edge Driver Installation
In an effort to keep directions consolidated into one area, please see the, "
SmartThings Edge Driver Installation
page for instructions on how to install the Edge Driver for your Inovelli device.
For non-Inovelli devices, please reach out to SmartThings support, the device manufacturer, or comment in either the SmartThings or the Inovelli community for advice. As of January 2023, most devices have transitioned over to some sort of Edge Driver, but it's best to check with the manufacturer as to which Driver you should use.
Setup Instructions - Individual Bindings
We recommend individual bindings when there are only two devices being bound together. If you have more than two devices, please use group binding (if you can).
Unfortunately until Philips Hue gets an Edge Driver, you'll have to use Individual Bindings for 2+ devices and you may not have the best user experience depending on the size of your network (over 26 Zigbee devices).
Below we will walk through a couple different scenarios where you'd want to use Zigbee binding: Switch to Bulb and Switch to Switch.
Switch to Bulb(s)
Please select your scenario below. Remember, if you have more than two (2) Zigbee devices, we recommend Group Bindings for the best experience.
Philips Hue: Again, at this time, if you have Philips Hue, you will have to use individual bindings until they have an Edge Driver. Please select, "Smart Bulb is using a Device Handler (DTH)" in the instructions below.
Smart Bulb(s) Wired to Smart Switch
Please select from the following drop-downs based on the number of smart bulbs you have:
Smart Switch to 1x Smart Bulb
In this example, we will use the combination of Smart Bulb Mode (to keep full power to your smart bulbs) plus Zigbee Binding.
Feel free to follow the written instructions below by clicking the drop downs:

This part is broken into two sections: Getting the Zigbee ID and Zigbee Binding
**Getting the Zigbee ID**
In order to bind the Zigbee devices together, we need to identify which devices will be bound together. To do this, we need to get the Zigbee ID's. SmartThings does not have an easy way to do this, so apologies for the extra steps. In addition, there are two ways to accomplish this -- please select the dropdown that aligns to your situation.
Remember to check first to see whether or not the smart bulb is using an Edge Driver or not (if the bulb does use an Edge Driver, please use the Edge Driver instructions -- if not, use the Device Handler instructions). Instructions to check are here:

Now we will bind your switch to your smart bulb. In this example, we will assume the smart bulb is the load on your smart switch (ie: the bulb socket is wired directly to your switch) -- and because of this assumption, we will also use Smart Bulb Mode (which provides constant power to your smart bulb and uses a digital signal to turn it on and off -- in this case Zigbee binding).
Reminder: You need to have the Edge Driver installed on your Inovelli switch.

Setup Instructions - Group Binding
We recommend group bindings when there are more than two devices being bound together. If you have two devices, please use individual binding in the section above.
Unfortunately until Philips Hue gets an Edge Driver, you'll have to use
Individual Bindings
for 2+ devices and you may not have the best user experience depending on the size of your network (over 26 Zigbee devices).
The concept of group bindings is to create a group of Zigbee devices (ie: bulbs or switches) and then bind your switch to the group.
Note: If you are binding a group of Inovelli switches together you can skip steps 1-5 and just do steps 6-8 for each switch you want in the group.
1. First, if you are binding to a group of bulbs, please install the Mariano SmartThings Edge driver named "Zigbee Light Multifunction Mc"
2. Next, apply that driver to your bulb if it doesn't get applied automatically during inclusion. Go to the bulb in the ST app, click in the upper right hand corner, select "Driver", and then "Select different driver".
3. Find the "Zigbee Light Multifunction Mc" driver and choose "Apply"
4. Now we can go into the device "Settings". This is done by clicking the upper right corner option and choosing: "Settings". Scroll down to the bottom until you find "Add Group Number".
5. Choose a group number that is unique that you have not used previously (if you are doing this more than once). It can be any number between 1-65535. In this example I have chosen 333.
6. At this point you can navigate back the Blue switch in ST, go to "Settings" and scroll down to the very bottom where it says "Group Bind #1". Enter the same group number you chose above. (or, if you are binding a group of Inovelli switches choose a unique group number for this group of switches).
7. At this point, if you are controlling a group of smart bulbs, you may want to change the device settings to "Smart Bulb Mode" and set it to a "Dimmer" if you want to be able to dim the group up and down.
8. That is it! You should now be able to control your bulbs in group #333 directly with the Inovelli switch. This "multicast" method of communication should be instant and very reliable.
