I’m new to Hass.io and understand ZigBee is supported. Does this mean the following dimmer could be made to work?
The module number of that device seems to be on the supported device list for zigbee2mqtt : https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/HGZB-04D___HGZB-4D-UK.html
Thanks Matt. That means green light
Assuming you are doing your existing dimable down lights then double check what type of dimmer they work with (leading edge/ trailing edge) as I remember reading that this switch only supports one type but cannot remember which, sorry. It was in the install instruction somewhere.
hi @lambsfry
The description on the link says both leading and trailing edge supported. Where did you read that only one type of dimming is supported? I’m thinking of buying one of these and would be useful to know if my lights will work with the switch. Help appreciated.
I can continue to recommend these. I have installed 2 more since the OP. And it would seem that in this time they have updated the version / hardware. This would probably explain why they now advertise them as a Universal dimmers.
The model number has changed though! The new variants came through as: LXN60-DS27LX1.3
If you are using Zigbee2MQTT note that these new variants are not on the officially supported devices list (yet). They work fine but I had to follow the “How to support new devices” instructions.
See wall_switch_01 and wall_switch_06 in the pic:
If you get them and need help just ask.
That’s great news!
I’m hoping to use it with ConBee II with Deconz. Perhaps it’s a good time to switch over to Zigbee2MQTT.
Have a look at digiblurDIY’s latest youtube from last week - How to Install and Use Zigbee2MQTT - Home Assistant Add-on and UnRaid Docker - YouTube
He gives some good reason for going Z2M. But YMMV.
Its been super solid for me.
HI Matt,
I’m considering the dual dimmer. https://www.lectory.com.au/NUE-Smart-ZigBee-Dimmer-Twin-Switch-Wall-Mount-ZigBee-Touch-Sensor I don’t see it (or any NUE dimmer) on the Zigbee2mqtt supported devices list. Can you advise what you did to get your dimmers working?
Hi Tom,
With Zigbee2MQTT I created my own external converter (was not too difficult) following this guide:Support new devices. Essentially I copied an existing converter from one that looked similar. Changed a few of the values around, saved it to the z2m folder and updated z2m’s config yaml to reference the new converter.
If I were to guess I would expect the duel dimmer to have a similar converter to the single dimmer except that it would expose 2 endpoints not 1. The config for each end point should be the same.
Let me know if you would like to peek at the converter I made.
Cheers
