Has anyone seen one of these in the wild yet? This seems like it would be a good alternative to the Aeon Minimote. Plus it has wall mounting options (that aren’t Velcro strips ) I’m assuming that we could get this working as a button controller
This would completely solve a not-so-kosher three-way light setup that the previous owner of my house rigged up. I had to undo their handywork leaving me with a disconnected switch box at the top of my stairs that there is no easy way for me to bring up to code without tearing open walls… This plus the wallplate adapter would be perfect!
It’s a Lutron lighting device, so my expectation is that it will work great and be crazy expensive. Also, really nice form factor.
So far they’re only listing GE links and Cree connected bulbs as “compatible.” Plus the wink hub. No hues.
Several possible ways it might work, some of which would work with smartthings, some of which would work in the sense of controlling the lights but would not update status to smartthings. Somebody will just have to experiment with a real one.
Which is why I expect to be disappointed with the price. They do make a quality product though. The Caseta Pico remotes are at a good price point, but I’m betting that adding Zigbee drives that up quite a bit.
I wish they’d make a Zigbee fan/light controller like the Maestro controller I have now…are you listening, Lutron?
From the SmartThings perspective, it might be a lot like the hue tap switch. That is, it could control certain zigbee bulbs, but you couldn’t mix-and-match zigbee with zwave with Mode changes the way you can with a button controller or a Z wave switch under smartthings.
And it may not update status to the smartthings hub.
It could still be great for certain use cases, but not the wallmount button controller we all want.
On the other hand, if it works like the Smarten IT three toggle zigbee device, that would be fantastic! We’ll just have to wait-and-see.
I just bought one at home depot $29.97 it was hanging off one of the bays they just came in yesterday.
I don’t think wink supports it yet? as I can’t get it to connect to my wink hub and my hue bulbs don’t seem to connect eihter I’ll see if my GE link bulbs will play with it later on
It seems the issue is the remote was put on sale accidently before it’s release date at select home depot’s so wink hasn’t updated yet to allow pairing but I saw a post elsewhere saying the beta version for iOS supports it so I’d assume if I was singed up for the Android beta I could pair it also
I sent them an email but on the plus side I got it to work with all my hue bulbs and the ge link bulbs so they turn off and on and will dim using the remote
