Hello all

 

My home automation is based upon Home assistant.This environment has grown in  over the past 8 years as a mix of systems and solutions.

 

Currently i use Shelly bulbs and in my automation they are activate by time motion or other triggers and they work well for the most part and some (such as LED strips or specialty lights such a flame controlled by Shelly switches) .

 

My objective would be to substitute these lights  with simple LED dimmers and have them controlled by an home assistant flow/automation and if necessary (or by mistake) by a manual override.

 

What i mean by this, specifically, is the lights turn on or off by the automation and is someone uses a wall switch to toggle the light this would override the automation.

Therefore I'm looking for a wall switch that:

A)  would fit in a Vimar wall mounted box

B)  that this switch be WiFi enabled 

C)  has a compatible entity in home assistant

D)  be as i mentioned used as a Button to override the automation (yes i need to develop this automation)

 

Will your wall switch be a ble to do this?

will i need 2 of your switches in a 2 way control situation?

Would it be able to control multiple lights  (spots)?

 

 

Thank you for your help

I'm afraid the Tapo device might not meet your requirements as it does not support open-source platforms like Home Assistant. Additionally, the Tapo S210 is a Tapo SubGHz device, which pairs with the Tapo hub via a different wireless frequency, rather than the 2.4GHz WiFi.

Neither Kasa nor Tapo offer API to the public.
