Need a 3-button wall switch

Hardware
1

I finished building smart rollerblinds, and now I would like to place a wallswitch which can control the rollerblind.

  • It should have 3 buttons: Up, Stop, Down.
  • It should NOT require in-wall mounting (instead just beeing placed on the wall)
  • it should be either Zigbee or Z-wave. Alternatives would be 433mhz radio, and if nothing else helps, W-LAN would be okay. But I want to avoid polluting my network with IoT devices, thus, Z*/433 is preferred.
  • and of course it must work with home assistant

I already found OSRAM Smart+ Mini Switch, which is using Zigbee technology, however, it does not fully work (see other thread).

So now I have been searching quite a bit, but I fail to find viable other switches. Either they’re ugly, or they require in-wall mounting, or they don’t have 3 buttons.

Does anyone have a good switch that works?

This 433mhz one have 1 to 3 buttons :

Pressing several buttons at the same time gives different codes.

Looks good, actually. Will try that, tho not from banggood.

Hi, would you like to share some feedback for us regarding their autonomy?

Sorry? What do you mean?

@Petrica is using these switches, I ask for some feedback.

Hi Florian,

The remotes that you mentioned above with 27A battery are still near the original charge, or recorded only a drop of less than 0.02 V after 3 years of use (actually it is a combo use as I also have 433 Mhz motion sensors controlling the lights so I’m not using only the wall switch for turning on; but they would probably last more than 10 years in the current environment).

I also used this garage door remote for dimming lights https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32803191158.html (very similar form factor to Philips Hue remote).

It is more close to a blinds remote but I had to remove it from the setup as it was confusing for other users :smiley: This model used CR2032 battery and it was still at 3.09 V after 6 months of usage. I remember there were some options with CR2450, a little more bulky, but I don’t think the battery will run out for either before 8-10 years.

Wow, that’s good news, so even if the battery is a little one an extended duration can be expected.

Yes for blinds control it is maybe a more user friendly option.

Thanks for your feedback!
