zigbee switch recommendation
Which switches can you recommend?
Can you get them in bulk for a cheaper price?
Inovelli.
A little more pricey but they are super reliable and give you a TON more options than most.
For example, the light switch to my basement stairs has a “double click” both on and off. This allows me to “double click” to turn off all the lights in the basement in one go from the main floor.
What a spectacular little help that simple thing has been.
This is what I went with and god they are amazing. Automations can be made for pressing up, down, and the configure buttons for a hold, single, double, triple, quadruple, or event quintuple press.
The only challenge is remembering what all of your automations are! But I use the double press automation daily to save me from running downstairs to turn off the lights and could not be happier with this product!
The key is not to overdo it.
In theory I could automate triple clicks or more things with the config button, but I chose to just stick with the double clicks.
….. the config button on a single press “pauses” everything on the basement tv so that I can call the kiddos without yelling.
Because I already paused their tv lol.
They don’t like that one as much as I do.
That's a cool feature!
I like the controllable status LED bar!
I haven’t figured out what to do with it yet, since I’m still installing the switches, but some sort of notification ought to be handy.
As a related example, if I walk past an Alexa device and notice it’s yellow, I can ask “Alexa, what’s your notification?”. I’m picturing something similar with the switches, except there are more colors and flashing to add context. They may be discreet, but they’re also everywhere. Since switches tend to be near room entrances or you may even use them, I think they’d be noticeable
I’ve got some Shelly and some Zooz switches. Both work pretty well. Neither are zigbee but saw you were open to Shelly in your other comment
I've been using the Jasco Enbrighten Zigbee switches for a couple years and they're great.
Great posts, thanks! IoT security is one of my major concerns with adding new devices, and the info here is super helpful.
Does it have to be zigbee? I like Shelly switches!
No it doesn't. They look nice
