I wanted to find a cheap solution which can fit right into my existing switch sockets and can be controlled by any kind of wireless technologies. It was also important to find a product which can be connect to the existing switch so it is able to “report” the status back (so OH knows if the physical switch has changed it’s state). I’am planning to use the MQTT binding and RFXtrx433E.
Most of the time 433mhz switch doesn’t report the status back unless you go to the pure diy solution. I don’t think these switches are different. If you want to have the status of the switch you could go to the sonoff tasmota solution (not 433mhz but wifi and mqtt). But do you really need to have the status or can it be a compromise…
I checked the Sonoff and cfw solution before but it involves lot of diy (especially soldering) which I’d like to avoid. I’ll have around 15-20 switches in my home… If I want to automate all of them then it would take a lot of time to solder (and I’m not really good with these things ), flash and set one by one… And I’d like to have the status because it is always good to have the old fashioned switches (it is always faster) I thought this 433MHz switch can be a solution because it has two wires exclusively for a wall switch. This was the only one I’ve found with this feature
