Niko released their Zigbee wall switches (single, double and dimmer) a few days ago. Anyone bought them and got them to work in ZHA (or deconz or zigbee2mqtt) ?

Hi, Just installed 3 Niko Zigbee Dimmers and they show up in ZHA just fine. Great way to make a dimmer smart whilst retaining manual control.
Thank you for confirming that, @ddeconin . I’m about to start a new project so I still have the option to add wires where I need them. Can you confirm that the Niko Zigbee dimmers are just wired to 230VAC and then work in stand-alone mode without a Niko Smart Hub, and talk directly to other Zigbee-enabled endpoints (managed via Home Assistant)?
Coming from other (/older) domotica systems, it just feels too simple 
Hi,
The Niko Zigbee dimmers are indeed meant for existing installations. Wiring Schema can be found here/ Connected dimmer, base, 3 – 200 W, 2-wire, 60 x 71 mm, claw fixing, Zigbee®.
The niko guide mentions the use of the hub, but I paired them straight into ZHA (I’m using a CONBEE II zigbee coordinator stick). Make sure to get the zigbee version and not the easywave version.
I like the spouse factor of still having a physical dimmer switch that uses the same shield plates & covers then the other switches at my home.

Hell,
Do we get power consumption with those ?
Could you share some screenshots about what exposed ?
It could be a game changer to have the zigbee built-in rathen than having to install a shelly behind…
Thanks a lot
Anyone knows if these have a “smart light” mode so I can configure them to not cut power from the bulb when I switch off the light?
is it a router or end device?
HI all. I have a z2mqtt question/problem: When I try to pair a Niko 552-72201 dimmer, the device appears to be unsupported and I get this error message : Interview failed because can not get node descriptor. The device appears as supported on the z2mqtt/devices page. I have 3 dimmers installed in walls at different distances from the coordinator (usb-Silicon_Labs_Sonoff_Zigbee_3.0_USB_Dongle_Plus) and they are all in the same situation.
So the dimmer can not be decoupled without their Niko Home Control. The normal zigbee switches can be decoupled through my zigbee2mqtt. So yea…
