Tuya no-neutral zigbee light switches

Anyone using these with HE? I seemed to think I saw a post on these but couldn't find it using search. Questions are; (1) does the standard zigbee switch driver work with these and (2) does the switch really work without a neutral wire? Any downside from this type of device? (3) do they repeat? If so, any repeat problems?

Thanks.

Ps. Ah, they are so dirt cheap I think I will just buy a couple and try them :nerd_face:

Anyone using these with HE?
Yes.

(1) does the standard zigbee switch driver work with these.
Yes. But I'm using @markus's Zigbee Driver with Presence.

(2) does the switch really work without a neutral wire?
Yes.

Any downside from this type of device?
Not for me.

(3) do they repeat?
No. They are in my zigbee routing table as child devices.

I have some WiFi (not Zigbee) no neutral switches and they work very well. They draw a leakage current through the bulb on SW1 to get power. This is fine with most bulbs but some CFL/LED may flicker when OFF. If so they include a small yellow capacitor that you have to connect across that bulb which fixes the issue. Note it connects across the bulb i.e. in the light fitting or ceiling rose.

I have not had to use these and I don't know if they are even necessary with the Zigbee switch variant. Rather than Tuya Cloud I am using a local control driver (not on HE), I have not updated the firmware with Tasmota or ESPEasy,
