Thanks, these look awesome and match exactly what I’m after.
I’ve passed these to my electrician doing my house and he’s all good with installing them (unless you’re in Melbourne?)
A noob question, all the installation videos online show the pairing event occurring by touching the physical switch on the Aeotec Nano device whilst it’s pulled out of the wall (the manual says you can flick the switch but it’s pretty poorly described).
Is there another (safer) way to pair it so I don’t have to either pair as the electrician goes? (I don’t want to be pulling them off the wall with the mains on to press that little button).
If you connect two switches to the two different inputs how do you pair each switch input? (Can’t fund much online except an amazon review saying pairing the second switch was difficult)
Similar here - tuya-converted two of mine straight to tasmota (using the tasmota bin with the WiFI AP capability in case of stuff ups). Somehow managed to brick the 3rd when I tried to upgrade the version of tasmota. Got it sitting cracked open waiting to go via the serial route …
Anyone bought the Kogan’s lately to know if they are still on the tuya-convertable versions of firmware?
The pairing can be done using the light switch. In saying that, I suggest using momentary buttons rather than toggles.
When you do the pairing on a double switch device it comes up with the two entities from a single pairing action.
Hi everyone, new here Thread is relevant to my interests.
I bought the Arlec Twin Socket (top in the picture) and tried TuyaConvert but had no luck. Any oher suggestion on how to “attack” this?
Got one of these myself today too. Not handy enough hardware wise to do much, but pretty handy with programming if can be of assistance. Reached out to grid connect to try and get some API docs.
(Also picked up the HS110 which worked fine out of the box, so realistically probably just going to run with that!)
For anyone interested, I was in Ikea Adelaide yesterday and saw the Dimmer/Light kits for $22. Listed on their website at $30. The dimmer alone was going for $20 so that makes $2 for the globe!
I bought some Kogan plugs last week and can confirm tuya convert using the ESPhome config from @sparkydave still works! Paid $69 for 4 plugs delivered from their website.
I find it to be really flakey with its responses via zibgee2mqtt (and even diect paired tbh). Especially the fast action left and right is really hit and miss.
Only now. I’ve been tossing up what the best way forward is for me and smart lighting. At the moment I am considering smart globes with wireless controls mounted over the traditional switches - to avoid people using the switch but also allow the switch in case of automation failure.
Based on the wireless dimmer I got I am far from convinced this is the best way forward. Certainly using the Ikea dimmer is not filling me with confidence. I’m finding its quite finicky to use - I try to “slowly rotate” it but I end up at 100% or I try to “quickly rotate” it and nothing happens or its on then off again.
Possibly another wireless control system might be better. One with buttons not motion.
It’s only leachers that will have an issue. Reading the docs you can still use the integration if you have your own weather station and are contributing data to the WU site. So that’s one thing to be aware of if buying the Bunnings weather station, you will have to contribute data to the WU site to be able to integrate it to HA (unless a local method is found).
