What is the Tuya 3 Gang switch that works without errors in HE?

Hi @jw970065 ,

There are a lot of 3 gang Tuya-based switches that work with Hubitat. Some of them will work out of the box using the inbuilt Generic Zigbee Multi-Endpoint driver. Others will require custom drivers.

The problem is that with these Tuya switches is It's like buying a cat in a bag - you never know what is the device firmware - whether it uses the standard ZCL commands or is Tuya specific.

So if you are willing to take the risk - just choose a 3-gang switch from AliExpress based on the product description and when you have it, I am pretty sure that we can make it work with HE. Look for products that have enough feedback/comments from the buyers, If any comment mentions HA / ZHA / Zigbee2MQTT - it should (will) work with Hubitat as well.

Personally, I don't like the touch-type glass plate switches, I like the classic mechancial switches that make a 'click' sound and you have a good tactile feedback. Most of the muti-gang switches have small relays inside. When activated from HE, the relay clicking sound may become annoying after some time.. But there are also switches that use solid-state relays (triacs) which are absolutely silent in operation.

I don't use much such switches in my home because the switches boxes in my house do not have a neutral line. All my bulbs are Zigbee, controlled by a Hue hub and CoCoHue community integration.
