Did you ever get any official contact with Ikuu/Mercator on this? I bought a few of their double GPOs, which are working well, although I need to automate the fingerprint recognition and add power reporting handling.

Off the back of this success I just bought a few of their 70mm and 72mm RGB+CCT downlights, two of the Donovan flat panels and one of their motion sensors. I suspect they will work with far less problems with standard drivers.

Anyway, I am happy to assist with driver development and testing for any devices that I have that you don't. I would love to give this company any support that I can since they have taken the bold step of releasing and getting approved a bunch of products for the Australian market at a super reasonable price.

Has anyone tried the Mercator AC Fan Controller unit yet?
I'm considering this over the Nue unit.

83

Is there in wall units similar to the likes of fibaro and aeotec?

84

The AC Fan Controller replaces a standard AU wall fan/light control

85

This would be the closest one Inline Switch | Ikuü

Edit: They also have dimmable ones in the same form factor as the switch

86

Thanks

87

Just testing the Ikuu single switch dimmer, and can't find any built-in drivers to work at all with that switch. So it will take me a little longer to write the driver for it. Shame that Mercator aren't willing to assist, but hey, they can't invest their time in everything out there. I've also got a Fan/Light Switch, and will be looking at that too. I'll report any progress here.

Have you tried this? Based on the fingerprints in this thread they all seem to be tuya devices so might be worth trying it out.

89

Yeah, that didn't work... :frowning:

I'm the author of the dimmer module driver @at9 just pointed at.

The driver does rely on already knowing the fingerprint to work at all, so you might need to change the values in the code to match the fingerprint of your device, then try rediscovering/re-pairing the device.

If you can share the dimmer's fingerprint, I can advise on what changes to make if you are not sure.

If it works, I'll be very happy to add the fingerprint to the driver.

91

I’ll probably borrow some concepts from your work and adapt. I enjoy the challenge so no big deal to figure it out

92

Go for it :slight_smile:

Not having much luck at all with the Ikuu 1 gang Dimmer. I'd steer clear of this device as nothing works with it, and there isn't enough details to indicate what it needs/wants to work correctly.

I think as a Tuya based device, it has some odd Zigbee protocol over the Data section of the Zigbee message - or at least none of the normal commands sent to the clusters do anything.

This is what is seen as the parsed message sent by the device when you manually turn it on/off etc...

profileId:0104, clusterId:EF00, clusterInt:61184, sourceEndpoint:01, destinationEndpoint:01, options:0040, messageType:00, dni:4EAD, isClusterSpecific:true, isManufacturerSpecific:false, manufacturerId:0000, command:02, direction:01, data:[01, 24, 01, 01, 00, 01, 01]]

profileId:0104, clusterId:EF00, clusterInt:61184, sourceEndpoint:01, destinationEndpoint:01, options:0040, messageType:00, dni:4EAD, isClusterSpecific:true, isManufacturerSpecific:false, manufacturerId:0000, command:02, direction:01, data:[01, 29, 01, 01, 00, 01, 00]]

The first two bytes seem to increment with every incoming message, but the last byte seems to indicate and on/off state.

Any clues or suggestions ??

I agree it looks manufacturer specific - clusterIds in the range 0xfc00 - 0xfff are assigned for that purpose.
[edit - didn't spot that you had published the fingerprint!]

97

I had a hard time finding a driver that worked with another Tuya based dimmer switch I had, but then I came across this one MOES Zigbee Dimmer Switch - #9 by CPS that worked wonders for me.
Have you tried that one?

With the ikuu quad switch, does anyone know whether we can switch off the blue led lights? And does it do a dimmer function?

Also, I noticed the neutral wiring is not required (if compared to the nue brand, such as this), is it safe enough to be installed here? Would the sparky complains when we ask them to install one?

99

Thank you ! Thank you !

That worked and has given me the needed bits to further a driver specific to this device.

Update for everyone, I have found Ikuu friendly but not very helpful. Definitely a good range of I teresting products both out and on the way, both for retrofitting and new builds. The compact switches a d dimmers that require no neutral for example are very interesting.

I am making decent progress on a driver for the GPOs that I have. As far as I can tell, the power metering is for the entire device, which is a shame, but still very useful. Unlike @gslender , I am finding that everything seems pretty standard in this device.

Mercator is a reputable Australian company that has been in the lighting business for a very long time. The products they sell are for the Australian market with all the required certifications.
