I’m looking into setting up a home assistant smart lighting system just like this person has although they use the Lutron Aurora dimmer which isn’t made to be placed on top of EU light switches.

Is there a Dimmer switch that works for EU? I have found alternatives but they all require removal of the switch already in the wall rather than placing on top, which isn’t very renter friendly

    You’ll either need to replace the dimmer itself (I use Ecodim Zigbee as a drop in replacement) or use a completely separate one, I haven’t heard of anything that “sits on top”.

      yes i realize that. unfortunately something like the ecodim zigbee is not an option so i will have to settle for a separate one.

      if you look at the lutron aurora you will notice it technically sits on top of an existing switch, but there isnt really an EU version of that which makes sense
