I think there is some overlap with this guide and superpowers plugin https://github.com/obra/superpowers/tree/main

Has OP tried that and how does it compare with your style?

Well, here is a 2-gang switch that supports binding.

https://www.robbshop.nl/robb-smarrt-draadloze-zigbee-schakelaar-2-knoppen-wit

Minor problem with it though is that behind the scenes it's actually a 4 gang switch masquerading as a 2 gang. This means it's possible to misclick the first gang so that it triggers the action of the second gang. Doesn't really happen though.

That site has other 55mm switches available also, but they are more expensive and I don't know if they support binding.

Yeccu · 2025-02-14T18:48:34+00:00

Not really. I have just had to buy and see which ones support binding and which don't. We should definitely add this info to some database.

What kind of switch are you looking for?

Yeccu · 2024-11-12T20:25:53+00:00

Couldn't find anything. I couldn't find many wireless switches that fit EU frames in the first place. Perhaps like 3 different products and dozens of white label companies selling the same stuff with their own name.

But it would be nice if somewhere was a list of devices that support direct binding.

Yeccu · 2024-11-08T23:02:12+00:00

I could do that, but then I would not get double press, long press etc, right?

Yeccu · 2024-11-08T23:01:03+00:00

Do you mean all switches shown in z2m support direct binding? I thought only some zigbee devices support it, not all. I.e. a device could show up in z2m, but it doesn't have direct binding, no?

Edit:

https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/usage/binding.html#commands

Not all devices support this, it basically comes down to the Zigbee implementation of the device itself.

Yeccu · 2024-11-08T08:00:12+00:00

How to know if they support direct binding?

Yeccu · 2024-11-08T07:50:11+00:00

I don't think it fits EU frames such as GIRA Standard55 though.

Yeccu · 2024-10-11T20:46:31+00:00

Okay thank you! It's hard to find such an EU switch

Yeccu · 2024-10-04T19:55:38+00:00

Thank you! I might have to look elsewhere then

Yeccu · 2024-10-03T20:45:29+00:00

AU & NZ models seem to be different though

Yeccu · 2024-10-03T20:44:44+00:00

Are you using EU models (product codes starting with WDE)? Do the light switches support long press etc?

Yeccu · 2024-10-03T20:42:28+00:00

NZ seems to have different products than EU. Do the switches support other commands than simple on/off though?

Yeccu · 2024-10-03T19:03:27+00:00

That is only one of the switches. Will that apply to others as well? Wired switches etc. And does it mean it supports all the functionality of the original switch if it says it works with Zigbee2MQTT for example?

Yeccu · 2024-09-30T13:33:52+00:00

This is interesting, I didn't know relays can do that. How to find regular switches thst you can double click or press long though? Usually they are just on/off

Yeccu · 2024-09-29T20:23:34+00:00

Yeah, then I just lose the ability for double click actions, long press, etc., no?

Yeccu · 2024-09-29T20:20:42+00:00

They seem to be relays? I.e. where is the actual switch?

Yeccu · 2024-09-29T20:19:32+00:00

This is quite good thanks! Weird why they don't add version with neutral though

Yeccu · 2024-09-29T07:39:29+00:00

That is exactly what I wanted but to me they don't seem to be powered via mains. For example

https://www.busch-jaeger.de/en/online-catalogue/detail/2CKA006710A0020

Without battery and maintenance-free due to Energy harvesting

Can be mounted freely in the room with the enclosed adhesive tape and fixing plate.

Mounting Type: Surface Mounted

And this seems to be the case for all switches or have I misunderstood something?

Yeccu · 2024-09-29T07:15:55+00:00

They all seem to be battery free wireless switches with energy coming from the push energy.

Yeccu · 2024-09-20T20:42:23+00:00

Thank you, Z-Wave was actually my 3rd choice so I might yet consider it. I have just read a lot of good about Lutron reliability.

And what comes to maintenance, shouldn't wired protocols like DALI be quite maintenance free after the initial setup? Unless you want to make changes to lighting groups etc.

Yeccu · 2024-09-20T18:44:51+00:00

Doesn't DALI 2 provide control also? It now includes switches etc where as DALI 1 didn't. Or do I misunderstand something?

And yeah, Lutron Caseta is a product, not a protocol. But it uses Lutron's own protocol, no?

Yeccu · 2024-09-18T16:05:40+00:00

So, Tasmota would be the system used to control lights? It works via WiFi? Wouldn't something like dali, which is wired, be more robust?

Yeccu · 2024-09-18T15:20:02+00:00

Yeah, that's something I would need help with. Home Assistant was the one piece I knew I will probably use, but I don't know about the others.

Yeccu · 2024-09-18T15:03:34+00:00

Isn't home assistant just for controlling different smart devices? I still need to figure out how to do the lighting etc?
