Yeah, I meant 16a or 30a not 30w haha
I ended up replacing all my controllers for fans and motors with these :

Is anyone aware if the Deta 6000HA inline switch can be set up to operate in a NO state?
Alternatively, what are you all running as smart bore controllers (single phase pump)? I’d prefer something Zigbee compatible but given it’s a single device I’ll settle for WiFi.
I’m struggling to find something that has the Aus RCM. Very easy to make up something with a relay and an ESP32 but I don’t want to break the rules.
I thought those only monitored the power draw of the both plugs combined
not individual
I press the green button to turn it on and the red button to turn it off. It’s located in the electrical panel.
Thank you, it seems possible but i will engage a sparky soon.

Thanks for the input!
I have the same setup for my bore pump. What I did was keep the existing motor starter with it’s overload but leave it in the ON position. I then put a contactor in series with it which is controlled by an ESP running ESPhome (it runs my solenoids as well).
A decent sparky should be able to do this for you without any trouble.

Thanks @sparkydave that sounds like a solution too. I have few esp boards laying around that the sparky can use.
Are you Perth based by any chance? If so, PM me for a potential work?
Thanks!
You could use either a Shelly to control the contactor or an ESP and relay (the ESP output won’t have enough grunt to operate a contactor coil.
I am in Perth (NOR), pretty busy in my spare time though, fixing up my house.

Ok great. Thanks, im in Perth NOR (6054) as well.
If you could kindly give me the bom for me to buy.
And let me know if you ever have time and keen for work. If the price is right, im happy to pay for your service.
Cheers!
Yikes… if only I’d scrolled up a little to see someone had the exact same question as me (or use search). Funnily enough, I’m 6054 as well.
Sparkydave thanks for the info. Is a contractor/starter required for a single-phase pump? Unsure of the motor’s draw due to it being in a 6m deep hole. I’ve been wondering if it being looped off a GPO is ‘legit’.
A lot of domestic pumps draw under 10 Amps so looping off a power circuit is fine.
Contactor or would only be required if you want overload protection or remote switching.
Hi all, Looking for smart wall switches that have a constant blue ring around the button
The Mercator Ikuu ones look good to me but the blue led only comes on when the light is on, is this configurable?
So I took a punt and bought the Mercator Ikuu SSWRM-ZB from the Lighting Outlet and much to my surprise they actually had it in stock and shipped it.
So far, it works as expected, and has more or less has the same features as the Oz Smart Things Wifi rotary dimmer. From what I can tell, these are identical minus the WiFi chip in favour of the Zigbee one in the Mercator model.
Of note, it doesn’t support transition time (default is 1 second), and it also doesn’t seem to support warmup brightness, but I am still trying to figure that one out via the zigbee2mqtt custom convertor.

I bought one the same but it’s still in the box waiting for installation.
I currently have Shelly dimmers pretty well everywhere but the push buttons I have controlling them have a very low WAF.
I intend to wire it without a neutral but what I can’t find is what the minimum load required is in that configuration.
Ss far just the Lighting Superstore, they only got them because I sent the first one back. They had not realised the difference. It might be the same for other supplies, as I expect the neutral wire version came out later.
Through it now works on HA, I’m not sure I want to use it. I was planning to have and extra switch where ever I get these installed, so I can use this switch for other HA controls.
This unit will keep it light ring around the switch on if there is no load connect to the output.
The wifi unit does not do this.
No, but the Zigbee model with a neutral wire has a quick, where the light stays on if it has no load. HA can still see switch state.
It a shame one make a totally flexible device. I would want independent access to the switch, the relay, and the ring light. It would be great to detect single/long/double switch presses.
So the push button / rotary encoder doesn’t show as a separate entity to the light ?
I should probably get my a$$ in to gear and install the thing this long weekend
