Hi!
New to HA and im looking to find a mains powered(230v) button for integrating behind my normal light switches, no relays needed, ie. a detached mains powered switch. Reason is I use Ikea bulbs and want to “get back” the normal wall switches.
I know there are battery powered ones but I would like to have them mains powered so that they can be routers for zigbee and as to not have to change batteries.
So the button (Taster?) is just a sender, calling an automation to toggle the lights?
Exactly, It would be nice if it exposed more than state on/off but that would be enough to work with.
I have gone thru https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/ but I cant seem to find a suitable one.
I recently bought a Friends of Hue momentary switch, which uses EnOcean energy harvesting. So neither mains nor batteries are required, but they cost a lot.
Any zigbee wall switch should fulfill your needs, right? Just, leave the output line connection free, which was supposed to be turning the light on.
