I’m looking for an in-wall switch module that would fit in a typical square wall box (something similar to the Fibaro dimmer switch, but with Wi-Fi) other than Sonoff. Does anything like that exist?
On, and I also need it to be able to be connected to a physical paddle switch for extra control
Xiaomi wall switches fit UK standard wall boxes and don’t need a neutral line. They can be used as a manual light switch, be controlled through the Mi Home app or effortlessly integrated into Home Assistant. They are zigbee rather than WiFi, which means you do need to purchase a Xiaomi hub but these are regularly less than £20 and then allow you to connect many other sensors (motion, door/window, temperature etc.) and the hub has a built in light and speaker so it’s useful as a night light, doorbell or alarm sounder too.
I’ve fitted a couple so far and have another couple on the way. They are quite deep so it has been a tight squeeze but I’ve had them running for some time now with no issues.
I wanted to keep my current switches if possible (they fit my curtains really well), but I might consider buying these. They look quite minimal, which is nice.
Are they compliant with the BS standards i.e. wiring regulations? If not then insurance won’t pay a single penny should a blaze occur due to these switches…
The “item specifics” here Link say “Certification: CE”
I guess that may, or may not, be the case and you make a good point for anyone considering using them.
I was tempted but said no. I am waiting for the launch of den products www.getden.co.uk but they are taking forever
They look fantastic, will keep an eye on progress!
