Hi All
Hopefully just a quick question on this.
We’re living in China and have a house that is currently being renovated. We were going to go with Aqara for all the light switches, dimmers, etc and then Yeelights for the actual bulbs.
To get things started I was going with the Aqara software then get it transferred over to HASS after moving in and getting settled, testing things out etc.
My wife (Chinese) confirmed with one of their support guys that you apparently cannot have 2 or more light switches doing the same thing, the only workarounds are to use their wireless switches or the apps.
We would want:
- 4 triple light switches to control the same 3 lighting zones on the first floor. Because of their placements, these would be usable when coming up the stairs, out of either kid’s bedroom, out of either bathroom, out of either garden, and the main door.
- 2 (possibly double) light switches to control the same zone for the stairs, one at the bottom, one at the top.
- 2 (probably single) light switches to control the same zone for the -1 floor hallway, one at the “back” door and one by the stairs.
This would definitely ensure that everyone could move around at night easily and safely, as well as conveniently when just getting into the house etc.
Though apparently this isn’t a thing with Aqara’s software, I assume this would be feasible with Homeassistant?
Many thanks in advance for any feedback!
