As an accessory, a remote is included. In this case, touchlink is utilized to bind the hue lights to the remote control. The remote communicates directly with the lighting when touchlink is used, so there is an instant response. We are happy to send you the user manual by email if you request it via our website.
It's probably true. There is compatibility with Hubitat as well, which uses the same Groovy driver type
This remote is compatible with Hubitat, as it includes drivers for it.

It has been a long time since I've bought anything from There are wave and zigbee devices in my home that I can control with This zigbee remote would allow me to use it to control various devices in my home, so I decided to see how easy it would be to use it in a general purpose solution. The zigbee controller was already installed, and this added it quickly and correctly without any Although the remote maintains states for each zone, I use other control methods (voice, wall switch, phone) and found that I was able to build a better interface by integrating my own processing of the zigbee signals. As a result, I decided to try out the node-red protocol It seemed to me more obvious to use red, as I thought it was a common and useful solution, and it was easy to adjust by non-programmers (well, much easier than pouring over Python code). Even though turning the system on and off is a breeze, and I implemented those functions quite quickly, supporting the dimming functions took a bit more effort. It had standard switches and lights that could be controlled by Lutron, zigbee, or Zwave devices I have been using wave without any issues, and node-RED is also working Using red flows was fairly simple for debugging and monitoring the behavior of the service. Red) to feed the messages, so the blue dims a bit once every Although since it processes messages to three separate subsystems, each with its own response time, it may be best. Overall, though, I found it fairly easy to get everything working the way I wanted, not that I In case you require a similar solution but do not mind working out a few nuances, then it must be a reasonable option.

The device caught my eye when I was looking for manual input devices for Home Assistant, since it does not have many reviews. I chose the device, and I am extremely happy with how well it works. Utilising ZHA with some Node-RED components Switches with a red light. I haven't tested this in node-RED but it's likely not the most efficient way to do it The color is red, but I'm new to Node-RED That's just red and that's just right. I've included a couple of links that some may find useful. A group of 1 to 5 is assigned to every row. It is me and it is you The buttons indicate that the 'command' button is on and off. The top I and the bottom I The 0 buttons trigger either all the below buttons are on or all of them are It is not possible to distinguish between the two messages from the two buttons.

Great! Works like a charm. My Alexa Echo is controlling 2 innr smart Zigbee outlets that are also paired with an innr smart Zigbee outlet. There will be more outlets controlled by this device in the near future. My second remote worked as well with both outlets, so I added a third. I had seen some reviews that claimed if not using a hub, it would be able to control 1 device. There is no truth to that. When paired with different devices, switch 2 through 5 must be pressed after you press the on button of switch 1, not the device you are pairing with. There aren't any other listings like this one in my search for hours.
If I could give it more stars, I would. It seems to work very well and feels very comfortable in your hand. The product is excellent.

This is a topic on which I have mixed feelings. I use an Echo Plus as my hub for Zigbee, and there is nothing else on the market that can do what this can. This device connects to the mesh (Echo Plus perceives it as a switch, which is weird), and then is bound to your Hue smart bulbs through touchlink. Because I don't have a Hue hub, I can't use it There is a pair of Echo Plus and everything is connected. If you want to control your Hue bulbs with Alexa, you can either use the remote or the voice control, which is really My Hue bulbs, on the other hand, are the only ones I've been able to arrange for it to work. I don't know what else to say. Several of my lights are controlled by smart switches, and I also use bulbs from another manufacturer. Touchlink is not supported by these devices and so this remote will not work with them. Even though it was not the remote's fault, it was still not Moreover, holding the "all on" or "all off" button does not function as a dimming control, which is unintuitive. This is because the individual group buttons are the only option. The gadget is a great thing and I'm glad to get it. This product works great as a remote control for Hue bulbs, and that is the reason I bought it.

Zigbee remote, that can control up to five Zigbee groups using Home Assistant. The power buttons at the top of the unit control the associated groups, but it would be nice if they could be configured a bit It would be great to have some scene buttons in the version.
