I would like to know if I am able to make my phisical dimmer switch smart and integrated in HA using a MINI smart Switch (Wifi Tuya). I’m lacking the technical know how if this is even possible. Do I need to wire them in parallel or serial and in what way?
Edit: I know I will not be able to smart dim the light. My goal is to be able to on/off by HA keeping the fysical possibility to dim and on/off using the dimmer switch.
Greetings DaTiezl,
My only advice is just NO…
Bad idea.
One smart switch per device only.
DANGER OF ELECTROCUTION
If your device connects to mains electricity (AC power) there is danger of electrocution if not installed properly. If you don’t know how to install it, please call an electrician.
Remember: SAFETY FIRST. It is not worth the risk to yourself, your family and your home if you don’t know exactly what you are doing. Never tinker or try to flash a device using the serial programming interface while it is connected to MAINS ELECTRICITY (AC power).
No you can’t. You could put them in series but then you need additional switch to manually do on/off
Thanks for your answers. I was I bit confused by the reply on not having more than one smart switch per device as the proposed setup has only one but I get the point that its not possible the way I thought.
