I recently discovered these as well. I’m looking for a smart-switch solution and like most others have run into the NZ-AU certification issues. Would have loved tasmota but the hardware doesn’t seem up to what we need.

Anyway, this Arteor/Legrand is a possibility, and I found this thread that could be helpful for other folks here (who are probably more technical than me!)...

(PS. I suggest voting for the feature to give the dev some encouragement. :) )

I have, yes, they are currently top of my shortlist. (Still hoping for something with more aesthetic options.)

These ones are the same, but are sometimes on special, if that helps you!

That's good to know and thanks. I have a number of 4 & 5 Gang panels so am trying to figure out how I will replace those as I see most of the wifi/zigbee panels stop at 3 gang. I have also got a couple of Shelly's that I have been playing with to.

Hey Guys,

 

House reno is still progressing but we are closer to getting the electrical fitted, however we will not be installing them.

 

I showed the sparky the switches and he found out some more info on them and ,

 

First off the single\double switches are portrait and the triple switches are landscape, that's going to look weird if you have them near each other.

 

Second is the price, I expected a shafting but damn they are pricey, Basic gateway would be around $300, 1x Double switch around $300 and a triple switch around $400

 

 

 

So what to do....

 

 

 

Well, Ive been sworn to secrecy but there will be a new Zigbee switch supplier on the market in the very very near future for about 1/4 - 1/3rd of the cost - so ill be holding out for that and putting in something else in the mean time.

 

Anyway ill continue to update if there is still interest.

Looking at this thread as I am trying to go smart switches. Have been dabbling with Zigbee and controlling a couple of bulbs with Hass.io, working okay but don't want to go the bulb route, seems to add up especially with rooms with multi bulb fittings (6 bulbs in lounge ceiling lights).

 

 

 

Any word on the secret squirrel PDL switches?

haha, good guess?

 

 

 

Nah not yet, it was meant to be first half of the year I was told but not to worried as I got bigger priories with the build.

 

I had a google but can find anything relating to them but are meant to be compatible with the iconic gear so that what i've put in.

 

In the meantime ive been playing with the conbee 2 and Xaiomi aqara gear and its been working great, motion sensors/temp/switches all work perfect and really well priced so hopefully ill be ready to go when they do come out.

Think I found your thread on homeassistant in my googling for a solution. Was looking at the Z-Wave stuff, but feel like I should stick with one protocol rather than both.

 

 

 

Bummer, hope something comes to market soon. Seems to be a hole there.
