Hi,
I am quite new to smart home technology and I am using HA on a raspberry pi and a sky connect stick. All my lights are smart ligths, but i do have one table light that i want to keep using with a special dimmable filament bulb, which is not smart. I would love to integrate this lamp to my HA without changing to a smart bulb, but a smart dimmer plug.
I literally cannot find any smart plug outlet which is dimmable, that is proofed working with ZHA.
Does somebody has an idea if there is something similar to the aduro smart 81855 plug that will get integrated with ZHA?
And it needs to be an European socket.
Thanks
Have you looked at smart filament bulbs? I know Hue has a lot of different variants, they don’t look too bad. Depending on the lamp you could maybe install a smart dimmer behind it too (roof lamp?)
unfortunately i can’t use any other bulb. it’s a special tube shape so that the bulb fits into the lamp housing at all.
otherwise i would go straight for a smart light bulb.
I was also searching for the same thing a few weeks ago.
It’s impossible.
The only thing I found as an option is a “Shelly” or Sonoff D1 but they aren’t plugs.
In the end I opted for just a switch. But I believe either works fine. I have a Sonoff that works fine with ESP-Home on it, I don’t have Shelly’s but I have a two Shelly bulbs and they work fine so I don’t see a reason why their dimmers wouldn’t work just fine.
I have become very frustrated trying to find a solution to this. I’ve even had a hard time figuring out how to do this over wifi for an individual lamp? I bought a robotdyn dimmer but haven’t gotten around to setting it up with an esp board yet.
You could just buy a Shelly or Sonoff D1 since you seems to want to build some DIY anyways.
