I will order a Smartthings Home monitoring kit. But together with the kit I would like to get an in-wall toggle switch for turning on/off lights in my living room.
I didn’t understand if it is enough to buy an Aeon or GE in-wall switch to integrate it with the Smartthings hub.
Can I directly connect these with the ST hub ? Or do I need Aeon minimote (or similar GE commander) as well ?
Which toggle can be directly connected ?
there are many compatible devices here:
But there are also multiple protocols (Z wave, zigbee etc.)
Which one is directly controllable through the ST hub ?
I have these, and they connect directly as a zwave switch, GE12722 Z-Wave Wireless Lighting Control On/Off Switch. I bought mine at lowes, you can also get them on Amazon.
Thanks.
So you say that If I get one of these, I can directly connect it to my ST hub without any additional GE device.
Is it totally in-wall ? I mean can I put my original switch cover on top of it ?
I would prefer it because I have a square shaped switch and faceplate.
(I don’t live in US. I understand that rectangle shaped faceplates/switches are common in US but here they are not.)
Since you don’t live in North America. What z-wave frequency are you using with your ST hub? Europe or North America? The Aeon micro you linked above is for us frequency. I am not familiar with your wiring but here in North America. Most smart switches need neutral and line hot in the same box to make it work.
Why does it matter.
I will order both the ST kit and the smart switch from US. So they will be compatible.
And the switch will support voltage between 110-240V AC.
So the region shouldn’t be an issue.
