Open to guidance in case 433 isn’t even the best path forward… Here’s what I’m trying to solve:
Today my setup is mostly WiFi devices with some zigbee and a couple zwave (mostly for control, so far not many sensors). I have a couple of locations that need a new light switch placed where there is no power available, so I’m looking for a good solution for either low power consumption battery powered wall switches, or even better using some of the “kinetic” no battery switches. FWIW, on the load side I already use Sonoff Minis…
If this is generally the right way to go, I need to decide how to handle the HA end of the 433. I have been looking into Sonoff RF bridge but a little confused if it a good way to go. I would be flashing with alternative firmware (I have experience with Tasmota). I’ve read about limits to the number of devices that can be supported and that it may simply not be able to support these types of switches at all.
I’ve also become aware of RFlink and have started to investigate it as well. Are there other good options?
Thoughts? I recently relocated to central america from the US so I no longer have easy/quick access to hardware via Amazon/eBay etc… so It’s important that if I buy something that I have a high degree of success getting it to work! I also want the flexibility to start adding sensors over time.
I did find this link helpful but since it’s from 2017 thought I would get fresh perspective…
Thanks
