Mine also got the unsupported error.

'System is unsupported because Systemd Journal and/or the gateway service is missing, inactive or misconfigured . Use the link to learn more and how to fix this."

Something journal log cannot access.. i tried follow the guide.. but can't fix.
Its something ha cannot log..
So ignored also.. since any update can be installed.

Im on "recycled" hardware.
Celeron J1800. With Debian.

Good stuff u have something that run 24/7 that can install HA.

I got hold of dell micro pc. i5 4590. Not sure wanna migrate to that or not.. 🤔

i think u mean mechanical click ?
yes, there is some models with mechanical click.. but iinm, doesn't have rocker type like normal switch.

or u can install smart switch module behind the normal rocker switch.

most smart switch only have limited "wireless" operation. mostly only wifi+RF

I got the glimpse of the device.
I think he meant this one.
https://shp.ee/gnu29zv

I used this type also.
Can barely fit inside box back of normal switch (depends on ur current switch, some bulky, some slim at back)

sonoff and tuya got this pcie card for waking up / turn on remotely.



btw, u can use auto schedule power on, if u want ur office pc turn on automatically .. or some script to wake it up..

and current pc nowadays doesnt consume much power in sleep/standby mode.. if shutdown, the psu still in standby mode.. unless plug switch off lah..

pulling N from each point to the switch?
surface /casing wiring ?

theoretically should work.. if possible u might wanna measure the voltage input at the zigbee module..
should be min 3v available..

From what i read.. battery powered wifi iot devices cannot last long.
Wifi drained the battery fast..

im using zigbee door sensor too at my outdoor gate.
i re-used a small electronic box that i have.. had to removed the entire module from the original case and put inside the box.. the box that i had quite small.
magnet use neodymium that i have laying around..

seems to function well even in heavy rain.

btw, im moving away from button CR batteries.. seems not last long and 'difficult' to get..
im getting AAA battery type zigbee sensor after this.. seems much more reliable..

for ZigBee wall switches with neutral, not all support as repeater.. even with Neutral.

i bought 1 from MOES (should be from Tuya), with Neutral, it doesn't act as repeater... only end device.
so be sure with certain products before getting it..

luckily i can return back the switch.

looks like too far the sensor and magnet.
last time i use sonoff gate/window sensor also (zigbee) with CR button battery (forgot the CR code), but seems not reliable.. always 'missing' from zigbee map.

i changed to Tuya zigbee sensor with 2x AAA batt. much better.

just stick to gate and use small neodymium magnet stick to gate lock (i did not use the supplied magnet, as its too big)
ive open the sensor casing and look inside, seems "waterproof" enough to be use vertical at gate




btw, the sonoff temp & humid sensor (zigbee) with CR battery also not reliable in my usage.. change to tuya (2x AAA batt) much better.
and im using Home Assistant.

Mr diy voniko alkaline batt.
Forgot when i start use it. But seems last long also..

Looks like the switches using transistor/mosfet for switching load.
Do u happen to wired it for ceiling fan?

From what i know, inductive load is not good for transistor switching. But, im not too sure about this . Needs more digging..

I use sonoff switches for fans, but its ' relay' type switching.
