Inovelli is a US maker of smart wall switches, dimmers and fan controls, sold in three lines: Red (Z-Wave), Blue (Zigbee) and White (Matter over Thread). There is no Inovelli hub or app that we found, so each switch is controlled through whichever compatible hub or ecosystem you pair it with.

Works with full table
Inovelli's switches join a hub rather than a cloud. Red uses Z-Wave on 908.4 MHz, Blue uses Zigbee on 2.4 GHz and White uses Matter over Thread on 2.4 GHz. Inovelli sells no hub, so a Zigbee hub or Echo, a Z-Wave controller or a Thread border router is part of the setup, and Inovelli supports only hubs on its compatibility chart.
That suits people running Home Assistant, Hubitat, SmartThings or similar, who want deep switch settings and LED bar notifications. It is weaker for people who want a one-app, plug-and-play setup: Alexa, Google Home and Apple Home each work with only some series, and the Matter-based White series offers fewer settings at the hub than Red and Blue.

| Platform | Status | What it means | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connection | |||
| Zigbee | Yes | The Blue series uses Zigbee on 2.4 GHz. Inovelli says Zigbee Bindings let devices keep working together when the hub is offline. | Inovelli protocols and hubs Red vs Blue vs White |
| Z-Wave | Yes | The Red series uses Z-Wave on 908.4 MHz and is the only line with Z-Wave Long Range, which Silicon Labs reports at up to 1.5 miles. Inovelli's page says Red fan switches and canopy modules are not in market. | Red vs Blue vs White Inovelli protocols and hubs |
| Thread | Yes | The White series uses Thread on 2.4 GHz and is listed as Thread Certified. It needs a Thread-capable hub, and Home Assistant and Hubitat need a separate Thread border router. | White Series switch page Red vs Blue vs White |
| Matter | Yes | White series switches are Matter Certified and carry Matter firmware, while Red and Blue do not. Matter Bindings are built in but, per Inovelli, not yet supported on any hub. Inovelli itself does not act as a Matter bridge or controller: it makes no hub. | White Series switch page Red vs Blue vs White |

| Amazon Alexa | Official | Per Inovelli's chart, Blue works through certain Echo models acting as Zigbee hubs and White works through Thread-capable Echo models. Red does not work directly and only via API. Compatibility varies by Echo model. | Inovelli hub compatibility chart Red vs Blue vs White Alexa Skills store |
| Google Home | Official | White works through Google devices that support Thread. Inovelli's chart says Red and Blue do not work directly, and its comparison page says only via API. | Inovelli hub compatibility chart Red vs Blue vs White Google Home compatible devices |

| Open platforms and developer access | |||
| Home Assistant | Yes | Inovelli lists Home Assistant as compatible for all three series on certain installations only, and publishes setup guides. Red needs a Z-Wave USB stick (800-series sticks are in the tested list) with Z-Wave JS UI, Blue needs a Zigbee dongle, and White needs a Thread border router. Inovelli also publishes a ZHA custom quirk for the Blue mmWave dimmer. The integrations themselves are maintained by Home Assistant and its community, not by Inovelli. | Inovelli hub compatibility chart Red Series Home Assistant setup ZHA quirk guide Home Assistant integrations |
| Zigbee2MQTT | Community | The Blue VZM31-SN has a device page in Zigbee2MQTT, a separate community project. It exposes brightness, many switch settings, LED effects including per-LED control, power and energy readings, button actions and OTA updates. | Zigbee2MQTT VZM31-SN |
| Samsung SmartThings | Official | Inovelli's chart lists SmartThings for all three series on certain hubs only. The White series page says a compatible SmartThings device is needed for Matter. | Inovelli hub compatibility chart White Series switch page SmartThings supported devices |
| Hubitat | Official | Per Inovelli's chart, Red and Blue work with all Hubitat hubs. White needs a compatible Thread border router, and sources disagree on which hubs: the comparison page says only the C8, and the White product page says every Hubitat hub except the C-4. | Inovelli hub compatibility chart Red vs Blue vs White White Series switch page Hubitat compatible devices |
| Homey | Official | Inovelli's chart lists Homey for all three series on certain hubs only. We did not open a Homey store page, so we could not confirm whether a dedicated Inovelli app exists or whether Homey Bridge is needed. | Inovelli hub compatibility chart Homey App Store |
| HomeSeer | Official | Red works with all HomeSeer hubs. Blue needs a plug-in and separate hardware, and White is not supported. | Inovelli hub compatibility chart |
| openHAB | Unconfirmed | openHAB is not on Inovelli's chart, so it is not officially supported. We did not open any openHAB page to confirm community use. | Inovelli hub compatibility chart |

| Domoticz | Unconfirmed | No Inovelli page mentions Domoticz. We did not search for a plugin. | Searched, no source |

| IFTTT | Unconfirmed | Inovelli's pages that we opened do not mention IFTTT. | Inovelli protocols and hubs |
| Philips Hue | Not found | Inovelli's chart says the Hue Bridge does not work with Inovelli devices because Hue restricts third-party products. Its protocols page also lists Philips Hue as incompatible for Z-Wave, Zigbee and Matter. | Inovelli hub compatibility chart Inovelli protocols and hubs |
| Developer API | Not found | We found no Inovelli cloud or developer API. Device settings are exposed through each hub or integration; Red and Blue offer 60+ parameters, while White allows only LED bar colour changes at the hub. | Red vs Blue vs White |
