SmartWise T61 UNI Zigbee 3.0 + RF, smart wall switch - Accessories

SmartWise T6 UNI Zigbee smart wall switches feature a sleek glass front touch panel and built-in chips that support Zigbee 3.0 + RF 433MHz Links. The Smart Wall Switch connects to a Zigbee 3.0 Gateway or Central Unit, which can be a Sonoff or SmartWise Zigbee Gateway connected to the eWeLink cloud platform, or another local Zigbee Central Unit compatible with standard Zigbee 3.0 devices. The RF 433MHz receiver can be used to pair with wireless Sonoff or SmartWise RF433 switches and remotes to support local remote control or wireless bidirectional switching.

The SmartWise T6 Zigbee Smart Switch is available in 1-, 2- and 3-gang (push-button) versions and with a white or black glass front touch panel.

A similar product is also available in a version with a practical physical front panel button, called SmartWise B6 Zigbee, with the same smart functions as the glass touch panel switch.

Wiring

The UNI version of SmartWise smart wall switches supports universal wiring: recommended for phase + neutral wire, but also supports single phase wiring (without neutral), so it can be used anywhere as a replacement for any traditional wall switch. For wiring without neutral wire, it is recommended for light-only use and is compatible with incandescent, LED and CFL bulbs. If the switch is wired with only one phase wire, a small anti-flicker module (supplied) must be connected to the luminaire.

Smart home platform

SmartWise standard Zigbee 3.0 wall switches are compatible with most Zigbee gateways and control panels, so they can be used with a variety of platforms. When used with a Sonoff or SmartWise Zigbee gateway, they are connected to the eWeLink cloud platform, and the light switch can be controlled in the eWeLink app. In this case, they work well with other brands on the eWeLink platform, such as Sonoff, SmartWise, WDYK and Woolley.

If you want to use a local Zigbee central unit, you can also choose the low-cost SONOFF iHost central unit, which uses an on-premises eWeLink platform (eWeLink Cube) instead of a cloud-based one.

Of course, you can also choose another platform that supports Zigbee 3.0, such as the Aoetec SmartThings Central Unit.

They can also be used with the Home Assistant Green control panel using the open source Home Assistant platform and the SkyConnect Zigbee USB coordinator, or with the Sonoff ZBDongle USB Zigbee coordinator connected to the local control panel.

Local governance

SmartWise T6 UNI Zigbee switches have an elegant and sensitive glass front touch panel that makes it easy to switch lights on/off with a gentle touch on the wall switch.

Local remote control

Thanks to the built-in 433MHz RF receiver, they can be remotely controlled using wireless SmartWise or Sonoff RF switches and RF433 radio remotes. With the wireless switches, wireless 2-way or 3-way switching can be easily arranged.

For 2-gang and 3-gang switches, each button can be paired separately with different wireless switches and remotes if required.

Functions:

The smart switch needs to be paired with a Zigbee gateway or a central unit, and you can check the on/off status of the switch at any time via the internet-connected gateway or unit (e.g. in an app on your phone or via a web interface). You can also control the light remotely, set on/off schedules. Depending on the Zigbee Bridge features, you can share the remote control with others, e.g. family members or office colleagues.

The ideal solution for smart control of all types of lights and lamps.

Used as a security solution, you can program a presence simulation, i.e. a schedule of switching lights on and off so that outside observers think you are at home.

Of course, you can also create any other automation between your eWeLink devices - whether Wi-Fi, Zigbee or RF - based on sensor data or the status of other devices.
