Relay that is supported by Hubitat

I need a solution for a hardwired fixture. I thought this Shelly Mini looked perfect, but from reading about it here, sounds like it's not compatible with HE - I have an 8 Pro.


Any recommendations for a supported relay - the smaller the better?

I have 200 devices and this is the first time I've needed a solution like this.

Thanks,
Jay

Not familiar with this device, says it works with Matter…

Would a Zooz Zen51 work for your use case?

Not familiar with the Zen51. Seems to require a physical switch to work? The description is confusing.

So a "Shelly 1 Gen4" is supported then if I read this right.

These support matter. Its probably the easiest path for you.

It's a line powered dry contact relay. It doesn't require a switch, but a switch can be connected (and it can be used to trigger inclusion/exclusion without accessing the device, which is nice).

Is there a communication protocol you are locked into? I use an Aqara T2 relay which is zigbee for an on/off without a physical switch. It is little larger and a bit expensive due to having two channels but it works well.

Gen 4 does wifi, matter, bt and Zigbee 3.0. It doesn't do Z-Wave.

I have several Sonoff zbmini switches installed in basement light back boxes. They have worked without issues for at least three years.

Ohh. I like that one. I have Zigbee, Z-Wave and a couple of Matter devices. Prefer to staying in the Z-families. And there is a newer one that is 40% smaller.

Thanks!
Ordered the "new one."

There are several cool zigbee relays that also have contact closure based input capabilities out there too.

I have a lot of these:

This one also has a power sense input (US $67):

Sadly, the current idiotic tariff situation has added ~US 35 to the price. UPS will require that it be paid before delivering.

Follow up. Works great. Documentation is nebulous, but that's not rare in this space.
