Feature：
Zigbee 3.0 work for most zigbee hub such as Smartthing, hubitat.
Need handler for it to add to Smartthing hub.
220v to 240v interruptor for all over the world.
With big push button good for older and child, sensitive touch.
- Neutral wire required.
Better let OP to answer that but Harvey Norman used to sell them under the name of Smart Connect. Exactly the same ones. Those ones are Australian certified.
They had a buy 1 - get 1 free deal. I bought 20 of them and changed their firmware so they can work with Apple Homekit.The ones I bought have wireless connection.
General q for you: If you were to sell your home, would you replace these switches?
good question. I think I would ask the buyer what they want. However, buyer would need to re-configure each of them to connect to new modem/router WiFi.
easy way: setup the new router WiFi SSID with the same name and password as mine
hard way: take them off one by one and do factory reset somehow (re-push the firmware I guess)
I would need to de-register them from my Homekit. Well looks like it will be little bit complicated.
Maybe I can charge buyer $10000 extra to re-configure those switches :) (nope would do it for free If they
Legrand has Australian made smart switches as well as HPM. I would give those ones a chance. They are way more expensive though.
@wrx5: I just replaced a bunch of dumb switches in my home with Nue smart switches so I had done a lot of research. Legrand is super expensive and hard to find currently but the deciding factor for me was that you had to have a bridge and a master switch as well in addition to your smart switches. the bridge can be installed anywhere but it has to be in wall which makes 0 sense. so you have a random white rectangle on your wall in the house somewhere. This drastically increases the cost again both in terms of install and hardware.
All these switches work like regular switches. I'd either eat the loss, tell the new homeowner and let them sort it out (they can always choose not to use them as smart switches), or get a sparky to remove and replace with dumb switches before i put it on the market.
@atablent: you are right. They are super expensive and the master switch was no no for me. I was looking for hub-less direct WiFi solution which these switches can do. I am very happy with them.
You are right again, they work like normal switch as well so there is no real need to configure them as smart if the buyer wants a normal switch.
How do you flash the new firmware that supports HomeKit? Appreciate that!
Yes I too would like to know this.
Assuming using something like HomeAssistant or something?
Do you have 3 gangs Wall switches that support fade in & out? Thanks.
There is no 2 or 3 AU based ones in these types that have dimmer ability.
How do you know if you have a neutral wire? I’ve been considering smart switches but no idea what type I need. I know I’d need an electrician to install but seems crazy to pay for someone to come out just to tell me if there’s a neutral wire.
I believe it generally depends on the age of the house. 10-15 years or youger apparently has a good chance of neutral. Older than that, not likely.
Thanks. Mine was built in 70s but renovated 4 years ago by previous owners. I guess they probably wouldn’t have added neutral wires since I’m guessing that’s be massively expensive.
You're probably right. Easy enough to check though: just take a lightswitch off the wall (turn your light circuits off first to be safe) and see what's in the cavity. It'll either be a single colour going in/out of the switch (in which case no neutral), or there'll be two other sets of wires bundled behind it not connected to anything other than eachother - in which case you do have neutrals.
Note I'm talking about the inner insulation colours - they'll be covered by a second layer of white over everything (well in newer installs anyway).
Red or Brown = Live
Blue or Black = Neutral
Green and Yellow striped = Ground
I think this was answered in OzBargain before but couldn't find the post.
As far as I remember someone said if the house was built after 1990 it has to have neutral wire.
Are there any approved in WA that do not need a neutral wire? Super keen to upgrade but no neutral wires in my 2015 built home :(
Damn, that's weird for a new build. Shelly and Aeotec make some stuff that doesn't need a neutral.
Thanks - will take a look. Have noticed that most of them are behind the switch solutions, which isn't ideal in a brick home.
Also realised I asked about approved in WA, I meant in Australia!
Any 3 gang - 4 gang smart switch that can replace the bathroom light/fan/heater? These are only 150w / switch.
has anyone used the SAL pixie mechs behind standard wall plates and got good results??
I have a bunch of these in our renoed home. Working very well, some paired to Hue (without any issues, each switch presents as a separate "Light") and to Hubitat (using the Nue drivers) both working well.
Deal over?: The coupon code 2ZBN0FIB is invalid. It has already used.
Are these certified in Australia, can't see anything on the website? Any know if it works with a Conbee 2?
