Description
Discover the transformative power of the SM311 Rotary Zigbee Dimmer, a cutting-edge AC phase-cut dimmer featuring the ZigBee 3.0 control interface. Whether you’re using a two-wire or three-wire setup, our dimmer effortlessly operates both with and without a neutral (N) wire.
Navigate the brilliance of your space with dual control options: through the ZigBee network for smart operation or with the direct touch of the rotary knob. Our device is armed with an advanced light source detection algorithm, simplifying configuration and ensuring optimal device compatibility.
Set the ambiance just right with our pioneering minimum brightness setting, allowing users to predetermine the lowest light intensity. And for those times when dimming isn’t needed, the SM311 can double as a switch with non-dimmable sources when connected via a 3-wire system.
Integration is a breeze. The SM311 is designed to work harmoniously with platforms like Philips Hue and Home Assistant.
Dive into a brighter, smarter world with the SM311 Rotary Zigbee Dimmer.

A light device that’s not compatible might function, but there’s a possibility it will cause the light to flicker or produce a noticeable humming or buzzing sound when the intensity is adjusted. Such issues typically indicate internal strain, which could potentially lead to the dimmer malfunctioning. It’s essential to utilize high-quality dimmable bulbs and/or employ a bypass.
Lovely device, unfortunately doesn’t fit in my standard light switch back box and is being returned.
Very solid product
If you are looking for a dimmer module with zigbee support, rotary encoder, and zigbee2mqtt + Home Assistant compatible, this is it. The installation is fast. You just need to follow the instructions on how to integrate into your hub of choice. If you use z2m, the device will appear on the device list right away. It exposes a lot of information, like voltage, wattage or intensity.
I’m seriously considering buying a bunch of this for my new renovated house.
I’ve been looking for Zigbee compatible dimmers for a quite some time, and I did know there was such a device but never actually found it anywhere on sale here in the UK… until I found the Samotech SM311!
I’ve now bought 2 of these and have them connected in two different light circuits, each with 5 IKEA Ledare GU10 400 lumen lamps and they work perfectly – and by that I mean complete dimming capability with absolutely no flicker at all!
Also, you can connect this dimmer on circuits with or without a neutral (zero) line. In my case, I don’t have a neutral available, so I just connected it following the instructions provided.
I then paired it with my Zigbee2MQTT powered hub, which in turn provided the necessary endpoints in Home Assistant automation software to turn the lights on/off, set the brightness, and monitor the power!
Very impressive and highly recommended!!
