QUOTE(ubeyou @ Sep 4 2017, 09:26 AM) Hi guys, what's the cheapest 2 button wall switch that's compatible with smartthing? The cheapest I found is Aqara ZigBee which is about 99RMB. Planned to use it to control indoor ceiling lights. I use broadlink TC2 and Broadlink RM Pro IR/RF hub, broadlink can be managed by smartthing through broadlink android bridge apps https://community.smartthings.com/t/broadli...nd-315-mhz/2647

ZigBee provide feedback to smartthings hub which is better than Broadlink which is only 1 way. you need other sensor like temperature, present, switches to feedback that environment status.

Sonoff T1/Touch & S20 don't utilize zigbee, but they do use wifi. With custom firmware made by users at ST forum you should be able to use it with smartthings You can get them cheaper at taobao or from their website (itead). If you're worried about having to open up the device for flashing, you can use this recently OTA method to flash firmware

As I aware, only zigbee do have this functionality, no? The reason I scrap Broadlink due to one way communication only. I need a device able to send feedback and show in the apps.

QUOTE(Donnow @ Sep 11 2017, 09:55 AM) Actually, Beko is a home appliances product.this brand from Europe .so not many people in our country not familiar with this name.but what I know, other countries more to choose this brand because of the quality.their tech is always one step forward.their price also standard with its quality and I think its reasonable. It is from turkey. Check the local service available and spare parts.
