Thatās bad luck for sure, 90% percent of the switches in my house have an Aeotec nano dimmer or switch module behind them and after 4+ years I havenāt had a single failure.
That said, Iāve had 2 Aeotec Smart Switch plugs fail in about 5 years.
Could be a batch issue with the Aeotec; unfortunately with the placement of the Hubitat, the old Micro doesn't have the range, whereas the Plus do, hence I had to change them over. I also tried Zigbee, but can't even pair in that location.
I have about 25 dual aeotec and single nano switches and I believe they are zwave plus (not sure which chip), only just fitted so I hope they last.
I also noticed the Shelby doesnāt have any external antenna , I assume they are built in?
If that is correct, then I would have assumed that the Qubino drivers would work with the AU version of the Shelley as well. I'm assuming here that the only difference between the two Shelley devices is the frequency they operate on. In that case, the driver should work with the AU version as the driver has no idea which frequency the device is operating at. That's at the Z-wave stack level and that's something the hub will deal with, not the driver.
Might just be they don't show it, as the older Qubino has an antenna, unless Z-Wave 800 negates the need for one.
The EU version appears to from the Hubitat.eu shop:
But there are also several reports of pairing problems with the C-7 (which admittedly is not Z-Wave 800 I think). Not sure if it's worth the risk as both Shelley and OZ Smart Things have both come back to say it's not supported...
Hey Aussie tech friends.
I need to upgrade my wifi at home to a 6 or 6e model. Has anyone got bad experiences with models like google nest or amazon eero ?
I just want to avoid any known issues with tech/wifi when i upgrade and want to hear from my local brethren first.
Thanks
Yeah I have the AirTouch 5, no direct integration to Hubitat that I could find. You can control it in Hubitat via Google Home but Iām struggling to get anything other than on/off in Hubitat.
HomeKit via Google gives a lot more control over temperatures etc. To be honest I use the AirTouch App because itās easier and it has presence and can be controlled remotely.
Are there any wireless switches that are trully rock solid in aus these days (not in wall)? (tp link kasa fails, xaomi fails, aeotech z wave fails) I have spent $2000+ on smart devices only to have had so many headaches that Bunnings digital timer switches seem more reliable to me now even with their bad reviews. Quantity seems like a factor but even when I only had 10 max devices there were still regular failures every month or two (devices breaking or becoming unresponsive/need re pairing).
Is there be anything reliable enough to have say 10-15 switches in an air b&b or if you worked away often and it had to work for your family? That kind of reliability?
Nice and wow, cheap. They kinda look like the old Xiaomi ones. Out of stock at the moment though. Maybe generic (not designed for one particular hub/system/brand) is a good thing for reliability. I have a few doubts on reliability but at least its not expensive. Do youhjave a lot of other devices on your network, specifically zigbee?
