Replacement for HM-LC-SW1-FM

Hi,

My setup currently includes components of hue/innr and Homematic.

  • Homematic is mainly used for heating and some other switches
  • Philips Hue for lighting

For my watering in the garden I use some HM-LC-SW1-FM. But as they are not very robust i would like replace them. Already tried to use this with Hue Bridge: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07XBTTN9W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but could’t make it work.

So there are 2 things i would like to ask.

  1. Do you know a good replacement for HM-LC-SW1-FM?
  2. Do you have any information if it is possible to use Homematic IP and legacy radio switches together with CCU2 and Openhab? Are the IP Switches better then the legacy ones?

thanks in advance
