No neutral, requires a hub - but fantastic quality.
I had some old light switches that controlled my dining table light, and ceiling lights in the lounge that I wanted to incorporate into my smart home. Instead of adding unnecessary traffic on my WiFi network by adding a bunch of WiFi light bulbs, I added a paid of these to the light switches instead. These were easy to swap out, look amazing and operate flawlessly.The pros of doing it this way:* Much lower cost that replacing all the light bulbs with smart light bulbs* Doesn't add unnecessary load on a crowded WiFi network* Maintains the light switch functionality as before - toggles the lights on and off as normal* Avoids issues that might occur if you turned off a light switch with smart bulbs - you'd lose control over them. This problem doesn't exist in this caseThe cons:* Zigbee device and requires an Aqara Hub - I would recommend the M3, although anything from them will work. You can also use third party Zigbee hubs, and integrate into Home Assistant for example* No neutral comes with a price premium. Ouch!Ver másVer menos
