I've just noticed this new release from Samotech.
For those of you, like me, who have installed a dimmer module in parallel with your manual pull cord switch for your bathroom, this looks like a good option. Not too badly priced either.
I just might have to get one.

So wait... you pull to turn on and off like basic old school pull cord bulb housings? And than you pull and hold to dim? I have never seen one of these in my life. Must be a European thing?
Could really confuse some people with one of these in a home in the US, just remove the light switch in the bathroom and hang this cord from the ceiling.
I've never seen a manual/non smart one that could do this either.
Presently I have a pull cord switch with a Fibaro dimmer attached to it to do my bathroom light dimming.
I think I'll replace all that with one of these.
Just an update on the device.
It turned up and I fitted it OK.
Removed my Fibaro dimmer that was across the 'dumb' pull cord switch.
Installed it OK. No neutral needed.
It paired OK but was found as a Zigbee Smart Bulb.
Changed device type to Generic Zigbee Dimmer.
Works OK and is controllable through the device page and Node Red.
Using it manually, pull the cord to turn it on. Hold cord 'on' and if the lights are bright it will dim. Also visa versa.
All in all a nice piece of kit.
