Description
Released in 2020 by Samotech in the UK, the first edition of the SM323 Zigbee Dimmer rapidly earned acclaim among smart home enthusiasts. To meet the escalating demand, we have upgraded and refined its design for a more compact size and additional functionalities. This enhancement extends its compatibility, facilitating its use not only in the UK but also throughout Europe.
The upgraded version of our dimmer boasts a significant advantage: it can be wired with or without a neutral wire. This key feature makes it universally compatible with both UK and EU electrical systems, eliminating the need for complicated rewiring and ensuring an easy installation process. In just a few minutes, you can install your smart dimmer and have it up and running.
Rated for up to 350W, our dimmer switch is versatile enough to handle both energy-efficient dimmable LED bulbs and traditional incandescent/halogen lights, providing robust control over your lighting setup. The Samotech dimmer switch is designed to seamlessly adapt to your existing light fixtures, whether they are modern LEDs or classic incandescent/halogen bulbs.
Our dimmer isn’t just a device; it’s a comprehensive solution for elevating your home lighting into a smart system. It offers broad compatibility with various Zigbee hubs, fosters energy-saving through smart automation, and integrates smoothly with your current lighting setup. The Samotech dimmer switch brings the future of lighting into your home, offering the convenience of remote control, intelligent automation, and a hassle-free installation experience.
Having a neutral makes this switch more reliable than the Auora AOne Zigbee switches they are replacing.
Great product
Great switch, it is good that it somewhat follows the standard and fits with other faceplates as the one that comes with it is shiny.
Unfortunately the turn key is different diameter so one has to use the supplied knobb which feels nice, but obviously doesn’t match my faceplate.
Love these devices, I am putting them all round my home. Nothing else on the market. I would like a on/off switch version (at a cheaper price point).
The v2 Zigbee dimmer connected with my Hue Zigbee hub with no problems. Great that the size is smaller and supports more flexible wiring options!
Small niggles. I was hoping to fit two of these in an an existing dimmer switch using the existing front plate but the dimmers are fractionally too wide to fit, (potentially I could file the plate to adapt). Also the threaded mount that goes through the front plate is 1 or 2mm longer than on the v1 which prevents my existing knob from being able to be pushed. Fine with their own knob.
There are great. The only downside I can comment on is that the power monitoring features are providing garbage data. I suspect that’s something to do with running on no-neutral mode
straightforward to install, although I did need to add a deeper back box (35mm). Integrated immediately with Home Assistant and Z2M.
Generally the dimmers have so far performed as expected. One issue is the labelling on the metal plate on which the dimmers are mounted. Although the plate was drilled for two dimmers and had small holes to allow access to the Brightness and Reset buttons on each dimmer, the letters B and R appear to be stamped on the plate as if it were only mounting a single dimmer, so they did not correctly relate to the function accessible via the nearest small hole. This led to me inadvertently resetting the dimmer when I meant to set the brightness and vice versa. It would be better if either the letters B & R were stamped in positions appropriate to the dimmers actually mounted or omitted altogether.
