These are awesome. Highly recommended. Will be buying more to get the whole house covered
I’ve tried a number of Zigbee dimmers and these are the best I’ve tried. The ability to set the minimum brightness which works on both the physical rotary and the setting in the Zigbee Home Automation via Home Assistant. Plus no flickering.
Ordered the zigbee dimmer modules, operate faster/smoother than originals, still a little too wide for most off the shelf face plates but better than previous version. Shame there isn’t a chrome faceplate version.
The product works really well, the only annoyance is it is slightly wider than most dimmer modules, and will hardly fit in double plates of other manufacturers (to keep the aesthetics).
I’d love to see a sync feature implemented, so multiple dimmers could be connected in order to control a Master dimmer from different locations. It is not very hard to do as Zigbee supports it. 3 events would suffice: toggle, +delta_brightness, -delta_brightness. Take the suggestion! 😉
Not being able to detach the Dimmer from light is a big let down
Consistently works well without dropping out. Secondary switch behaviour could perhaps be refined but overall I’m very happy with these throughout my house.
Great piece of kit, easy to set up, good value for money, well made
The actual dimmer is the best on the market. I’m planning on having these controlling every single light in my house. The face plates are a bit cheap feeling, but there are loads of options around that.
