Switch for Smartthings - On wall that is (Europe)

[Glenn_Lunell]

Hi.

I am a real beginner, havent even got my ST yet (its in the mail). But i have two questions.

By the way, i live in sweden som it must be Europe sockets and standars (Bought the uk model of ST)

1: What do you use for wall switch (aka button) becase automation is fine but sometimes you just want to press a button for turning on or off the light. From what i understand, the Hue switch dosent work wery well. I mean like a wireless on/off switch connected to one lamp and get the status of the lamp in ST.

2: Socket. I need som on/off switches. What will work? (exemple the Lightfy plug that exist in sweden)

I am using an Osram switch for controlling a couple of lights via SmartThings. Top and bottom switches, tap or hold. A total of 4 options.

It can definitely be challenging. Most people in Europe end up using in wall microswitches can then be wired to many different kinds of dumb switches. Or they use smart bulbs.

The following topic should give you a good start:

VFAQ: Lighting Control Options for UK SmartThings

There are many forum discussions of possible lighting control options for the UK. Before we get too theoretical, I just wanted to do a quick recap of the options that are available right now for those in the UK. 1) Choose one of the inside-the-wall micro relays from the official compatibility list and have it installed on the circuit where there is a third wire. Even if there isn’t a third wire in the switchbox itself, there’s still one on the circuit somewhere. It may be at the ceiling fitting, it may be somewhere else in the wall, but it is there. https://www.smartthings.com/uk/compatible-products [image] If you want to add a new faceplate to create a push button “momentary switch,” you can modify many switches to work with the in wall relay. Plastic button front plates are quite…

If you do have a neutral wire in the switchbox, there are some additional options, so check the Z wave selection at Vesternet.

As far as the sockets go, you can wire some of the in wall micros to those, or many people just use the plug-in “pocket sockets” which you can get in most of the plug formats used in Europe.
