Hi,
have you had a chance to try out the new switch? Does it work with ZHA? How about decoupled mode?
Thanks in advance
Hi,

I’ve just installed 12 of these into a renovation I’m doing in the UK. Build wise, they feel good to operate and I’d argue better than the previous version. A little less “clicky” if that makes sense. They are a little chunkier / stick out a little further from wall but the 4 switch version I’ve opted for (2 wired, 2 wireless) I’m hoping will be easier to operate for users/my wife than having to remember too many combo’s such as double clicks/press and hold etc
Won’t have the opportunity to install/configure HA onsite in the short term so very interested to know how other people get on with them with regards to HA integration - particularly using Zigbee and ZHA (which would be my first choice).
Thanks
I’ve just managed to install one via ZHA and unfortunately there is only a switch button and power measurement. So no decoupled mode or second wireless switch.
I wonder how long it takes to add support to ZHA for new devices.
That’s useful to know. Out of interest did you install switch with or without neutral? I’m aware the switch offers a lot more functionality when the neutral wire is used. Not sure if this makes a difference to functionality made available within HA
How you managed to install it via ZHA? I am trying to install it by add the switch to pairing mode(double press and then long press) and home assistant cant find it
I did install it via ZHA but supports only on/off single switch (not wireless one) and power measurement. I migrated to zigbee2mqtt edge which shows more entities.
Any idea how to control the group of lights with decoupled switch using upper button?
As of this morning this is supported in zigbee2mqtt. Some of the configuration is now available. I haven’t figured out how to use the wireless switches yet. The only other thing I noticed is that the power monitoring isn’t working.
I was able to listen for the wireless buttons by listening to the /action topic of the switch. Still haven’t figured out how to get the power sensor working.
Did you connect a Neutral wire to it? Without Neutral, you won’t get power monitoring.
From the product page:
“Light Switch H2 EU supports both neutral and no-neutral wiring for easy installation. Neutral setups offer advanced features like overload protection, power monitoring, and indicator light settings.”
EDIT: Looks like the commit which provided support for these switches left out the LumiPower
and lumiOverloadProtection
Hi, I’ve also just installed an H2 light switch and also am struggling to expose/use the wireless switches to Home Assistant. Please can you explain what you mean by “listening to the action topic of the switch”. Thanks
I have this installed via Z2M. Decoupled and everything works well. I am unable however to see how I can get double_up and hold_up to work. Works well for down. The Z2M documentation looks like it should expose those two topics but they dont come through
Agreed, I’m not getting double_up and hold_up.
To answer the question about listening to the action event for the wireless buttons. For me, I created a “when an mqtt message is received” trigger and the queue that I listened to was:
“zigbee2mqtt/Home Office Workstation Lights/action”
“Home Office Workstation Lights” is the name of the device in zigbee2mqtt. As others confirmed, though, the only event I ever get is “single_up” when the button is pressed.
Check if your switch is set to single mode by default.
It seems you can switch it between single click & multi click modes. Not sure if it’s in the manual because I don’t own one, but Z2M should also have a click mode parameter exposed somewhere for it
Oh you are right. I had to set “multi-click mode” to true. Thanks!
Wait did you manage to get double_up and hold_up working? My multi-click only affects the bottom button, not the top one.
Yeah only the bottom for me, but the top button operates the relay for me, so I haven’t tried having it operate in decoupled mode. I would expect double/hold to also effect the up button in decoupled mode.
It does not
Hi,
Have any of you managed to control smart bulbs directly with this switch? No HA automations.
Again, I’ll mention that I don’t own one of these, I’m basing everything I see in the commit I linked to in my previous post.
Basically, the code only seems to reference a Multi-click option for the down button. There is no equivalent of the below for the up button:
lumiMultiClick({description: 'Multi-click mode for down button', endpointName: 'down'})
The same applies for the code for the 4 button variant. There’s code for Multi-click for left_down
& right_down
, but nothing for up.
Is there anything in the manual which states that only the down buttons support multi-click? If not, it might be time to follow this comment, because someone else had a similar question.
EDIT: 2 minutes of googling shows that only the switch that is not connected to the relay (down) supports multi-click. It shows you right there in the product page, too.
You mean like binding?
