Hello everyone,
I live in Europe, in France.
I am neither a computer scientist nor an automation specialist. Just basic knowledge (I know what an IP address is, or a logical function) and I have no passion to become one.
Also, having to search for the right driver in the jungle of Bithub or this forum puts me off.
I'm looking for products that are directly compatible with Hubitat to dim my lights, operate my adjustable sunshades and a few sensors (temperature, presence, brightness, etc.).
What do you think would be the right products to buy?
I'd like to point out that I use
ShellyWave-i4 buttons and ShellyWave-1PM switches with great success.
with a lot of difficulty Shelly-2PM
ShellyWaveShutter and FibaroDimmer2 without any success.
Thank you for your answer.
Well, I used that list an bought Fibaro Dimmer 2… but impossible to make it work and many people seem to have issues with it on this forum.
I realy need your feedback in real life, not a list
Have you tried using Hubitat Package Manager? No copying of Github code needed, it finds the code and installs it for you, all you need are search terms to find them.
I have about 20 fitted with no issues. The only issue I know of and have experienced is that to include them without S0 security (preferred), a secondary controller needs to be used which is not user friendly.
If you're in the EU Vesternet do their own range of Z Wave dimmers that are compatible. As they're newer S2 compatible devices they can easily be included without security and without the need of a secondary controller (unlike the Fibaro Dimmer 2)
Phillips Hue, expensive but good. Sonoff, cheap and cheerful. Zemismart, they work. TUYA, inexpensive but a gamble - forum research recommended. I have a mix of Zigbee kit from all over the place, half the fun is in the hunt. Oh, and IKEA.
Per that link, It sounds like the spec for Europe is approved in early 2024, I'm not aware of any products actually being in existence for Europe, just yet.
That said, I'll be honest in that I didn't really look all that hard.
