Why Use Both Smart Lights and Smart Switches | HDB Smart Home

Our home has all the combinations of dumb and smart lights and switches even after going through serious thoughtful planning during renovation and electrical works. We had to consider what was available in the market, and what fits in our 4-room HDB. In the end, we opted for a combination of smart lights and smart switches for the majority of the house, and this video outlines the reasons why!

With the Aqara H1 switch's decoupled mode, we get the best of both worlds when using the smart lights and smart switches. Once you go smart, you cannot go back.

Hi, I have been looking around for the settings for decoupled mode in the Aqara app, but can’t seems to find. Can u share for this?

The decoupled mode on your Aqara switches is done via the Aqara app or the eWeLink via your Sonoff hub?

Hi I have a question on using non-smart lights. I’m using Sol Luminaire lights dimmable and plan to use H1 non-Neural switches from Aqara to control Sol Luminare lights. Will Aqara H1 knob dimmer switch works for dimmable non-smart lights? Any advice would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Could I control the lights remotely if I go out of town/ not in the house? Or do I have to be in my house?

I was looking exactly for that! Unfortunately, seems that aqara just offers the EU format for their wall switch, which are square shaped. Since I'm from brazil, our electrical switch boxes are rectangular, similar as to those in the US. Does anyone know of another smart switch with decoupled mode that fits in the rectangular format?
