Candeo Zigbee Dimmer Module no neutral required, compatible with Amazon Echo,...

I have a light fitting with 8 incandescent bulbs which would cost a fortune to replace with smart bulbs and wouldn't look as good, so this device is a great low cost work around. Note that not all Zigby relays are compatible with Phillips Hue but this one is so great for that use (though not "official" so support could theoretically be removed in the future). Important things to note: The manual sates that these only work with retractive switches and NOT work with traditional rocker switches or dimmer switches. However I found this to be the exact opposite case in my setup. Retractive switches were only keeping the lights on while held down, and toggle switches worked fine (without dimming). Traditional dimmer switches have no effect at all. They will still work with your smart setup even with no physical switch attached. Also, these do not include any lengths of wire so if you don't have any spare you will have to cut/strip your existing wires to splice this device into the circuit. Should fit into most UK junction boxes, but only if your switch body is not too deep (I don't think th UK ones are as deep as the EU ones which are predominat in the marketing). It states that if you don't use a neutral wire you will likely need a bypass on the first light, however fortunately my 8 bulbs drew enough power so it wasn't needed.

Very small size, easy to pair to my hubitat not sure about other devices. Would not switch off light unless I used a bypass which is an extra. Reading about them afterwards seems without a neutral you need it 100 percent. I would have given it 5 stars if the bypass came with it.

Works well with all my dimmable bulbs and lamps. Pairing with Hue or Smartthings flawlessly. If you need and traditional dimmable swith as well, you may also consider the dimmable switch with faceplate model. They did the same good job, save you a retractive switch and the prices are the same.

A great little bit of kit, I actually have three of these running at the moment to control some outdoor lights. Easy to install the pair process is a bit of a faff I found it took a few attempts with hue app however it does work a dream.

I use this in conjunction with node-red/home assistant/deconz which works well apart from the minimum brightness likes to reset itself which is a pain as this has to be set physically on the device. Another issue is the reported state seems to lag, so even after it's turned off it reports it's still on for a few seconds, I don't get this behavior with Hue bulbs for example.

Bought this to add in line with some down lights. Wiring up is easy and pairing took a few tries but on 3rd attempt of pressing the reset button 5 or 6 times it detected in hue hub. Will probably get some more for other room.

Works well with Hue but make sure you understand how electrics works when fitting as instructions are wrong.

I previously bought a Tuya based product at half the price of this. Needless to say, it paired but it didn’t show any signs of working or dimming. I ordered this as a replacement and it worked first time. Paired to my Ikea zigbee hub, it also shows in HomeKit and Alexa. The only problem I had was my led festoon it was controlling didn’t turn entirely off. It would look off in daylight, but the leds would glow slightly in the dark. (The dimmer is rated at 400 watts and my entire festoon is about 30) it needed a greater load on the dimmer, so I bought (from this company) an LED Bypass (essentially a 1.4watt resistor, I didn’t measure the value) The dimmer is in an IP65 junction box on my garden fence, about 15M away from my hub in the middle of the house. It has a short cable antenna hanging off the dimmer, which will help with the zigbee signal over distance. So far so good, I’d highly recommend.
