Hi all! I'm currently working on my new home renovation project and I had decided few months back that I'll go with Xiaomi's ecosystem. Most of it are pretty straightforward (smart lights, gateway, sensors connected to gateway etc.) but I'm very confused with this two switches, hopefully they someone can shred some lights for me

Am not sure if I understood the items correctly, but both can connect to Mi Home via Gateway, And with that, does it mean that both switches can be programmed directly in Mi Home to set up rules such as
- single press / double press / long press
- to turn on / off any smart devices connected in Mi Home
- to play sound or doorbell in gateway
- to enable security alarm mode
- etc.

Thanks for your reply. Are you using both this switches? I was puzzled by the aqara support (taobao) and they kept saying the 2nd link can't program stuff...

Which model is that new mini switch? Was it the one in my first link?

For Aqara's Double Wall Switch ZigBee version (connected to Gateway), if one of the switch is unused and not wired - can we still program it in Mi Home to open any existingly connected Smart Home devices (i.e. Yeelight)?

Thanks! Will just get the double (Wall) switch then.. although only planning to wire one of it. The another button keep as spare / control existing Yeelight.

That's interesting to know. So basically wall-switches are kinda like 2-in-1? It controls the hardwired Light + any additional programmed function on its button?

I'm getting the new 86wireless switch to try. Hopefully it works flawlessly (planning to pair directly with Mi Home devices in the ecosystem via Gateway).
