Australian approved light switches

The 2-gang works using the 3 gang driver and a change of endpoints

helene7t7 · February 26, 2019, 12:22am

I just picked one of these up. I am not in Australia but they are selling them state side now. They are the cheapest zigbee wall switch with safety certification.

I had to modify the code with the same endpoints as @bf1.

I am not familiar with GitHub but was trying to create a modified version for others running into the same 0B endpoint issue.

I have installed a "HUI ZigBee Wall Switch 3 Gang V.3.3" and thanks to the information in this post have it working as a device. Within the device I can switch on and off the three lights - seperately or as a group.

I am quite new to Hubitat.

What I cannot figure out how to do is create 3 virtual devices, one for each of the gangs (Lights) in the 3 gang switch. Can someone describe how to do this? Thanks.

Download the app 'virtual device sync'. Make sure you save it as an app, then install it as an app.

Then open the app and select the zigbee light switch. The app will then create the three virtual switches for you. You'll need to name the app and the switches as well.

geoff.brain · April 26, 2019, 8:00am

OK tried what you said (And thanks for the quick response) but I have an error that makes no sense to me.

I have attached 5 images

The Apps code screen
The app itself (from Apps())
The Virtual Sync (from the Apps page)
The screen just prior top the error message being show as in 5 below
The error message which occurs

Any suggestions?

geoff.brain · April 27, 2019, 4:44am

OK I found the problem, I had to install a driver for the switch. Found this at [RELEASE] Virtual Device Sync

All now works, Thanks.

We're going to pick up a couple Australian frequency devices for internal development and testing.
Mostly interested in line powered zwave, but will entertain anything really.
Any suggestions?
Also a source for them that would ship to US

jason-lane · May 11, 2019, 3:46am

Mike, are you specifically looking for devices that don't work with current drivers, or even those that do? I use Aeotec, Fibaro, Qubino and Dome devices (AU freq Z-Wave) in my Australian home, and they seem to work fine with existing drivers.

mike.maxwell · May 11, 2019, 1:24pm

That's a good list of does work, maybe something that doesnt

mike · May 11, 2019, 8:55pm

There are some 3asmarthome lights that are zigbee. I've got a few of them, and have mashed up a driver for them. I'm sure it's 95% bodgy. They did change the endpoints a few months ago, which caused issues for the newbies. They are relatively cheap by Australian prices, and are getting a fair few questions on the Aussie smart-tech forums I follow.

The went up in price!

I got mine off of Amazon and they were selling for cheap. I am using the code above and modified the endpoints as instructed in this thread. It would be nice to have an official driver.

Did anyone customise @mike's code for the 2 gang switches?

bf1 · June 12, 2019, 11:35am

@mike, if you could customise for two gang, I'll buy you one

mike · June 12, 2019, 11:51am

Try in there. I've added in the double gang which I worked on a few weeks ago. It works for me. You may need to adjust the endpoints like you did for the triple (not sure). Also, I renamed the github repo as it now has all of them (3).

I thought you were looking for the dimmer yesterday, so didnt upload it then.

bf1 · June 20, 2019, 11:25pm

@mike do you know if these switches act as zigbee repeaters?

mike · June 20, 2019, 11:34pm

They do act as repeaters, but they do something weird. They allow end devices to speak with the Hub, but in my experience, once the end devices move to a Nue router, they are stuck there. If the router (Nue device) goes offline, the endpoints will also fail.

I have an XBee (see other thread on this forum), and the XBee can not see any end device that gets routed through a Nue device. It's disconcerting.

mike · May 11, 2020, 3:50am

@mike.maxwell Did you/HE change something with these drivers (Nue Zigbee) in the recent update (or possibly zigbee itself), because I now see children of the Nue routers in the zigbee logs, whereas, I did NOT see this behaviour previously.

at9 · May 11, 2020, 4:03am

I don't see this on mine.

mike.maxwell · May 11, 2020, 1:22pm

I don't even know what this means, anyway there were no changes to these drivers.

greghoward1962 · October 16, 2021, 6:13am

Anyone bought any switches from Smart Switch / Sockets - Zigbee

They look similar to others & are pretty well priced

Wonder if they work with any of the existing drivers
