Hi guys, I’m getting quite annoyed with the little choice I have for smart switches that support 240V. Only ones I found are from aliexpress, but I like the fancy ones that are sold over at the US like Wemo’s, Brilliant’s, GE’s, etc. But these only support 120V.
Someone has a workaround for this? Any rumours for coming soon versions supporting 240V? I do have neutral wire, so that’s not an issue.
Sure, excuse my lack of detail! I live in Malta, Europe. I’d rather have the switch connected to electricity so I don’t need to bother with batteries. I guess this makes a WiFi switch as my preference.
Hmm, found some that don’t need, like the Philips Hue dimmer switch but in that case, I won’t mind having a zigbee ( a zigbee dongle is on it’s way ) or well even Z-wave, as long as it’s connected to electricity, no need to charge batteries ( even if it’s once per century ) and as long as it offers cool features, like the brands mentioned do.
I’m trying to keep this as my last to go solution. Home is still under construction and not even wired yet. I also would prefer to have a complete product rather than tinker with switches ( my area is more in software and code too ). Also normal switches have no extra features that these switches from the mentioned brands come up with ( and of course there will be workarounds - but trying to keep things easy )
