what product did you use for the smart switches?
- luma 4y agoAny ZigBee or Z-Wave smart switches will be 100% local and just about anything you buy should be supported by Home Assistant. Tested compatible Z-Wave device database: https://devices.zwave-js.io/ https://devices.zwave-js.io/ Same, but for ZigBee: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/supported-devices/ https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/supported-devices/
- JamesSwift 4y agoMore high-level Zigbee compatibility site: https://zigbee.blakadder.com https://zigbee.blakadder.com
- stavros 4y agoDon't buy anything that isn't Zigbee (or, I guess, Z-wave). Wi-Fi is much too heavy and insecure for smart home stuff, Zigbee has a ton of features you'll want (much simpler protocol, automatic repeaters, etc etc).
- rootusrootus 4y agoAll of my smart switches are Jasco (aka GE) Z-wave switches. As I buy other HA toys, I've been getting Zigbee when I can. It has been less hassle to do the device adoption process and the USB dongle I use for Home Assistant supports both Z-Wave and Zigbee simultaneously.
