I was talking about the manual switch on the switchboard. If that is turned off, then you will not be able use automation

If you turn off a smart plug using manual switch, there is no way to turn it on using automation since it doesn't get any power. He is talking about smart plug and not smart switch.

This is a smart plug, not a smart switch. Smart switch is something that goes inside your existing switchboard and is hidden from outside. Smartplugs need to be used with the socket on switchboard. For obvious reasons, smartplugs will only work with devices that can be plugged into sockets...

Almost all smart switches in the market work this way. Wipro makes such switches. Smarteefi seems to be a good brand with decent reviews on Amazon. Smarteefi new series comes with 1 year warranty. I have been using one of these from the past 6 months. If you have any questions, feel free to ask,

Any idea if this would work to download the PS4 version of the game?

Would love to know how reliable these retrofit modules (Tinxy etc.) are in the long run? I have to figure out automation for my new house and I am considering retrofit vs touch switches. Any thoughts from a long term reliability perspective? @superczar

I will take it if it's still available @superczar

As per what I have read, I think only on/off would work for FAN and not speed control. But I will try it out too!

Only tried with their 4 node retrofit switch. I am exclusively setting up my house with retrofit switches (of different node sizes) so should be good for me!

Update: Smarteefi devices do work with Homebridge. I am a happy man today!

I spoke with the Tinxy customer support and also checked their forums. Looks like Tinxy switches do have beta support for HASS. I have ordered 1 Smarteefi switch (to try HomeBridge) and will be ordering 1 Tinxy switch (to try HASS). Based on my experiments, I will take a call on which switches...

Do these devices work with HomeAssistant? Yes, the cost difference is too big to ignore, especially when considering a big house with a lot of devices to be supported. Would be wonderful to know if a Smarteefi or Wipro module is compatible with HomeAssistant. Also exploring the idea of...

@napstersquest How did this project go? I am in the same situation currently as you and looking at alternatives that work with HomeAssistant. Would appreciate an update and guidance on how this has been working for you.
