Adaptive Load Management: Whether it’s resistive, capacitive, or inductive loads, the SM311 adjusts seamlessly, ensuring consistent performance. The SureSlide from Leviton is a slide dimmer first and a light switch second, which is why it’s our favorite slide dimmer switch. Dimming is provided by a large sliding bar that’s easy to operate. It also includes a toggle switch, so you can set your desired dimming level, turn the lights off, and then return directly to your chosen illumination setting the next time you turn the lights on. It works with a variety of bulb types, including compact fluorescent, LED, and incandescent, and you can also install it in both single-pole and 3-way configurations. Includes 1 gang white faceplate: The dimmer comes with a sleek and modern 1 gang white faceplate to seamlessly blend with your existing decor. This high wattage Legrand switch is ideal for 3-way lighting setups. It’s rated to work with loads up to 700W, works with both incandescent and halogen bulbs, and it doesn’t need to be derated when installed in a multi-gang application. That means it’s capable of operating at full capacity regardless of whether it's installed in its own wall box or in a multi-gang box setup. It doesn’t work with either LED or CFL bulbs, so it isn’t the right choice if you don’t plan on using either incandescent or halogen lighting.

There is no limit on the number of transformers you can use as long as you keep within the maximum rating of the dimmer. VARILIGHT electronic transformers are suitable for controlling 12V a.c. rated LEDs (MR16). V-Pro dimmers are not suitable for wire-wound "toroidal" transformers. Traditional dimmers are only designed to work with incandescent lights, although some also work with halogen, while LED dimmers are designed specifically for LED bulbs. “Traditional dimmers, which typically use knobs, usually absorb the energy not sent to the light,” says Sampayo. “For instance, if you dim your light to 30 percent, the remaining 70 percent is wasted by the regular dimmer in the form of heat. Your energy consumption remains at 100 percent.” That works with incandescent lights that exhibit reduced brightness when provided with less energy, but LED bulbs placed in that same situation won’t light at all, or may exhibit unwanted behaviors. Supported dimmable light sources (power factor > 0.5) with minimal power of 3VA using the Bypass (depending on the type of load)The Cloudy Bay in Wall Dimmer Switch for LED Lights is a toggle switch with a small dimming slider, and it functions in both single pole and 3-way installations. The dimming slider is a little on the small side, but it doesn’t get in the way of the switch. It’s fully compatible with all Cloudy Bay LED light fixtures right out of the box, and it also includes a trim dial that allows you to adjust it to work well with other fixtures and dimmable LED bulbs. It comes with everything you need to complete the installation, including screws, wire nuts, and even a decorative wall plate. Dimmer switches allow you to adjust the brightness of light bulbs. They adjust the amount of voltage that reach the bulbs. So, for example, the more voltage the bulb receives, the brighter it will be. What to Know Before You Get Started When pairing the dimmer switch in ZigBee2MQTT, it was discovered immediately and configured automatically. It was discovered as model TS0601_dimmer and ZigBee Manufacturer TZE200_dfxkcots.It exposes the same entities as the ZHA integration. Smart home integration can provide you with a lot of options that aren’t available from a traditional dimmer switch. “Smart switches have gained popularity in the era of home automation,” says Brady. “They can be controlled remotely and integrated into smart home systems.” If that sounds interesting, then you may want to consider a smart dimmer. Brady cautions that it's important to pay special attention to compatibility, as smart dimmers are typically designed to work with smart home systems. Additionally, Sampayo points out that determining how many LED lights you can put on a single dimmer switch is a little complicated. “LEDs have a high current spike when switched on, and this varies among manufacturers. So, the rule is: Don't count the watts directly!” Instead, Sampayo recommends multiplying the total wattage of the LED bulbs by 7, adding a safety margin of 20 percent, and then selecting a switch that meets or exceeds those requirements.

Physical and remote control: Enjoy the convenience of controlling your lights either through physical buttons or remotely via the Tuya or Smart Life app on your phone. No additional hub is required as the dimmer connects directly to your existing WIFI router. Tap: This type of dimmer uses a tap control to switch the lights on and off, and then another method to adjust the illumination. This dimmer is manufactured and produced by Earda Technologies Co.You can find it being sold on the market by various brand names, such as MoesHouse, Girier, Lonsoho, Zemismart which can be identified under different model variants in ZHA & ZigBee2MQTT. The good news is every model is supported in the integrations, so in this case, the branding does not matter as it is the same device 99%. Configuring the WiFi functionality is fairly straightforward and works well with the Smart Life app as well as a Home Assistant server. Brilliant’s touchscreen panel lets you see and talk with a person at your door when a visitor activates your Ring Video Doorbell.For example, the Kasa HS220, our best smart dimmer, works with Alexa and Google Home, but not with HomeKit. If your smart home is powered by Apple’s HomeKit, you’ll find that the Kasa HS220 just won’t work correctly. In that case, consider the very similar Kasa KS220 that works with HomeKit. Next-Gen Connectivity: Leverage the power of ZigBee 3.0 RF (2.4 GHz) technology for an unparalleled, smooth, and interference-free lighting experience. The MoesHouse touch dimmer is fully compatible with ZHA. To pair it to your coordinator, open ZHA in Home Assistant, press + Add Device to start scanning for new devices. Press and hold the button until the small LED on the touch line starts flashing. ZHA will discover the dimmer and prompt you to give it a name and assign an area to it. Once paired, ZHA exposes the following entities to Home Assistant: Toggle: These look like standard toggle light switches, but you can raise and lower the toggle to dim and brighten your lights instead of flipping on and off in two binary positions like you would with a traditional light switch. In other cases, the toggle itself acts as an on/off switch, and you adjust the illumination level with a very small slider that’s located right next to the toggle. These are best for applications where you won’t need to adjust the illumination level every day. The Kasa app works with both Android and iPhone, and it allows you to operate the switch remotely as long as you have internet access, so you technically don’t even need anything but this switch and your phone to get started. It does work with both Alexa and Google Home though, so you can operate the switch with voice commands if you have a compatible smart speaker. Smart home integration also lets you include the switch in daily routines, like turning the lights on or adjusting the illumination level at dusk.

Samotech SM323 v2 Zigbee Rotary dimmer modules are designed to seamlessly integrate with traditional UK and some EU faceplates. By replacing the existing non-smart dimmer module, you can easily incorporate smart features into your lighting system without compromising the aesthetics of your faceplate. I thought these might contain ESP8266 or ESP32 chips, but they’re using relatively a obscure RJM8L151 chip instead, which means they’re not easily modifiable with custom firmware in case that’s of interest to anyone.Adding a dimmer switch to a lighting setup, or replacing an old one with a newer model, can transform the look and feel of a room. “Dimmers are most useful in areas where you want to create ambiances, such as social areas, bedrooms, hallways, and bathrooms,” says Freddy Sampayo, chief technology officer of Schaller Tech. “It's also useful to think about spaces where you'd be annoyed to turn on the light when waking up groggily in the middle of the night.”
