Australia - Electrically Certified Hardware

Hi Ali, I’ve actually only just had it installed in the last few weeks. I’m not sure if it would work as a two way switch, although I suspect it would if your electrician knew what they were doing. You might need to do something clever with Tasmota rules or in Home Assistant to make it understand the two-way switch though. I haven’t experimented with ESPHome so am not sure if it would work, but again, I suspect it would. You can find the schematic of the TYWE3S module here to see which pin is which.

Currently mine is running Tasmota 6.6.0. I actually have it configured with a couple of light sockets that have Brilliant Smart globes which are also running Tasmota. I have the switch configured to send an MQTT command to the globes to turn them on in response to short press, rather than switching the relay. On a long press, the relay is toggled. This gives me a bit more flexibility. I’ll try to write a blog post about that at some point.

My electrician knew what he needed to do, and set them up correctly first try. As I had already flashed them with Tasmota and configured them, they instantly connected to my WiFi and were functional. He was pretty impressed with how quickly they were up and running. I set them up in Home Assistant over the following few days.

I’ve been pretty happy with it so far. From an ergonomic and aesthetic point of view I think I prefer the Brilliant Switches, but as they have a separate MCU I’m not sure if I can set it up the way I have done with the DETA switch. I plan to do some more experimentation, but that’s a job for another day…
