Hand and Wall Switches with zigbee standard, deConz and raspbee-plugin.

---

Hi,
i make our sleepingroom new and like new lights with comfort. I have the raspbee -modul and bulbs (Ikea,Philips…) with a switch and a dimmer of IKEA in work.

In deConz(raspbee manage tool) i can switch(on,off,dimm,temp,color) the bulbs and —> in Pimatic.
In deConz i can make szenes with the switches, i can the switchbuttons with funktions configur, switch in hardware, but not in deConz and —> in Pimatic.

I search wallswitches or selfmade wallswitches in zigbeestandart with switchfunktion in hardware(touch with hand) and software(klick in Pimatic).
I find only the way over sonoff(tasmota) wall switch or traditional wall switch with intertechno funkmodul.
Do you have an idea?

MfG, Jens.

There are Aqara Wall switches that fit your requirements.

The only thing you have to consider, they don’t fit in 60mm wall holes. They need 80mm.

Thank you.

Can the Aquara wallswitch switch in software (deConz)?

80mm are a “bolscheu” problem. We have the switchprogram of GIRA E2 in our hose, with dimensions 80,8 x 80.8 x 9,3 mm. I find a inet-side with change the gira-funk-switch (75€) enocen modul to philips zigbee modul (50€), without softwaresupport?!

The wall switch is defined as a sensor in deConz.

I have such a switch here with two buttons. Both buttons are different devices and have a state true/false. They could also be switched by pimatic with a corresponding rule. Works like a charme but is useless for me because of the dimensions.

@jens I’am using Trust ZYCT-202.

They are paired as a sensor in the Phoscon App, but are invisible in the Phoscon App. But they appear in Pimatic and function quite alright when using rules in Pimatic. Here’s an example of my rules

    {
      "id": "lamp-overloop-achter-aan",
      "name": "lamp overloop achter aan",
      "rule": "when $raspbee_sw_2.state = \"1002\" or $raspbee_sw_3.state = \"1002\" then turn raspbee_INNR_RB165_002 on for 15 minutes",
      "active": true,
      "logging": true
    },
    {
      "id": "lamp-overloop-achter-uit",
      "name": "lamp overloop achter uit",
      "rule": "when $raspbee_sw_2.state = \"4002\" or $raspbee_sw_3.state = \"4002\" then turn raspbee_INNR_RB165_002 off",
      "active": true,
      "logging": true
    },
    {
      "id": "lamp-overloop-achter-hoger",
      "name": "lamp overloop achter hoger",
      "rule": "when [$raspbee_sw_2.state = \"2001\" or $raspbee_sw_3.state = \"2001\"] and if $dimlvl-overloop-achter < 100 then $dimlvl-overloop-achter = $dimlvl-overloop-achter + 10 and after 1 second dim raspbee_INNR_RB165_002 to $dimlvl-overloop-achter",
      "active": true,
      "logging": true
    },
    {
      "id": "lamp-overloop-achter-lager",
      "name": "lamp overloop achter lager",
      "rule": "when [$raspbee_sw_2.state = \"3001\" or $raspbee_sw_3.state = \"3001\"] and if $dimlvl-overloop-achter > 0 then $dimlvl-overloop-achter = $dimlvl-overloop-achter - 10 and after 1 second dim raspbee_INNR_RB165_002 to $dimlvl-overloop-achter",
      "active": true,
      "logging": true
    },

One limitation, currently you can’t use the group buttons of the ZYCT’s. Only the buttons on/up/down/off work.

O, BTW. This is how it looks like in Pimatic:

If you press one of the switches you’ll see the status change. The lights themselves can be controlled with the switches through rules or through Pimatic directly.
And a picture of one of the switches on the wall:

Hi
and thank you for the infos over the state $variable. That´s new for me. My TRADFRI switch haven´t a state, the TRADFRI dimmer have. I play a little bit with this fetaure.

By & a nice weekend!

Hello, it looks like the roller blinds from Ikea are coming now. They are available online and should be controlled from the Ikea Gateway. So they support ZigBee.
Unfortunately only 0,60m; 0,80m; 1m; 1,20m and 1,40m.
I need 2m 😬.

There’s also a kind of ZigBee repeater.
This should increase the range by 10m.

We can only hope that the deConz software will support these devices soon. But you can be sure of that.
