Very unlikely that you would have Neutral at the switch.
Has anyone tried using a Shelly RGBW2 to dim 12v downlights?
The downlights are only 12vac so I donāt think itās illegal to install if itās not certified, it seems quite safe and good quality anyway, and wouldnāt be as dangerous being only 12v.
Also, since you would only be messing around with 12vac, would you need an electrician to install?
I think these could be a good low voltage alternative for low voltage downlights that I have all over my house. Also itās dimmable, unlike just a Sonoff which is great.
Edit: The wiring shows you do have to touch 240vac so youād probably need a sparky if you wanted to keep using the switch.
I could be wrong, but anything installed inside a wall/ceiling needs to be certified. Someone with some more knowledge than myself may know better, however.
Didnāt have to wait long. Digiblurās tuya convert 2.0 video had a different fork that is working for bulbs as well now. All lights are now flashed and running esphome.
Anyone tried the SAL Pixie range? looks OK doesnāt need a neutral at the switch.
Uses bluetooth mesh and a gateway for up to 32 devices but only list google assistant on the box.
Looks like they are not interested
Thank you very much for your enquiry.
PIXIE Gateway doesnāt support Homekit and HASSIO at the moment, but it supports Google Home and Amazon Alexa platform. You are able to control PIXIE devices through Google Home App and Alexa App if you like.
Our suggestion is, the native app PIXIE PLUS provides the best user experience with PIXIE range products.
neither suit my needs

I usually buy my LED downlights (non-smart ones) from these guys because they are near my house (well, my old house anyway). They also have a wifi versionā¦ tempted to buy one and see if it can be hacked with Tuya-Convert. What are the chances of it workingā¦??
For $20, you might as well try.
It looks like itās just a standard dimmable fixture, with an inline module to handle the WiFi and Dimming, similar to some others Iāve seen around that use Tuya. Might get lucky.
If anyone is in need of some Brilliant Smart plugs, or lights to test, these guys have an extra 40% off all Brilliant smart stuff at the moment. Plugs for $12 each with the discount.

Does anyone know if the brilliant smart switches work in a multi way set up?
Do you mean as a 3 way switch?
Thanks for the ink, Iām tempted to hit the go button on the garden lights and hope they can be flashed with ESPhomeā¦ I had a quick scan through this thread but didnāt see any comments about them
I seem to remember someone posting about getting the garden lights from Bunnings, but Tuya convert didnāt work. Was probably the old Tuya convert though, so worth a shot with the new one.
A bit of Googling found this:
[> Re Brilliant garden lights:
Yes, using the new tuya-convert. Flashed first time using default third party sonoff/tasmota firmware then from Tasmota loaded up my esphome .bin
I used the Mirabella esphome code straight from the esphome.io cookbook for RGBW Color Bulbs. Only change was to remove the white channel, because lights must be RGB only.](https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2778852)
So I think Iāll give it a crack

Yeah as a 3 way switch
From what Iāve seen with other smart switches, they donāt work in a 3 way configuration, you can use something like a Xiaomi Zigbee button at the 2nd location to activate the switch through an automation to solve that problem.
Damn doesnāt look like they have a similar looking wire free module, ideally Iād like to keep things consistent
The way to do multi-way switching with smart switches is to change the wiring config. Normally (in ādumbā wiring) the switches are wired such that they are essentially in series. When you want to achieve multi-way switching with smart devices itās easiest to change this so that they are in parallel. The way to get around the issue of then trying to toggle lights from either switch is to do this using HA code. If you donāt you wonāt be able to turn off a light from a different switch to where you turned it on, as the other one will still be supplying power.
EDIT: or you can use one smart switch for multiple buttons and wire the buttons in parallel to the smart switch local input. That is what I am planning to do for a couple of locations in my house.
