Nice video, it would've been great to show how you had wired it up since you weren't certain.
Where are you having problems with it mate?
I just use the Tuya/ Smart Life software with the Grid Connect products.
Good, you can use it with home assistant for local home connect.
Good info Chuxxsss. Not a fan of this stuff really for a couple of reasons; stuff that will fail in a couple of years means I have to find a replacement and remove and replace, as well as the inconvenience of having light or lights out for a while...also stuff that talks to a central server out in the cloud, you don't know what data it is collecting and selling without even asking you.
Totally agree, specially when it asked for y location.
Worried that china will know when you turn your lights on?
@@aliwoh I really don't care if its China or Intel...I don't want them just taking my data.
I don't think you need a new touchpad... I think you need a new finger lol... I bought these smart switches and also the double powerpoints with one being 2 USB1 connections throughout my house, and I gotta say these switches and points are really nice. very modern and touch-sensitive. The smart switches only need 2 wires live and negative, very easy to install and fits mostly into your existing switches as screw holes are spaced the same length. Would definitely recommend these switches and powerpoints... probably last longer as well having no moving parts like a traditional light switch. Software to me is ok... I say if it works, it is good. If it doesn't it's garbage...but its easy enough to work out.
I started out with Sonoff touch pads, then I saw Deta touch pads, and I was sold. Luckily you can still control these through HA .
You videos are way better than ones from Grid.
So this can replace a standard switch in my home?
I see some videos about an extra wire, is that necessary.
Does it fit the standard switch socket in Aussie homes?
Does the one button turn on and off.
It doesn't need an extra wire if I remember right. I do Sonoff reviews and long story short. the live wire goes through a circuit, which take more negative and uses it to make a negative wire. Very clever stuff. We have to reset out rooms to Sitting, table and sink as commands. Plus calling switch turns them all on or off. Thanks for the comment have a wonderful day.
@@chuxxsss is this something DIYable or best to get an electrician?
So you did have a Neutral after all? My apartment does not have a neutral at the 4 point switch i want to change. So my understanding is it won't work properly as you need the neutral to keep it powered so keeps the wifi settings etc.
I have some touch switches from Sonoff, which uses the Active and resistors to provide the power to the switch no neutral at all.
@@chuxxsss Yeah OK .. I was just looking into ones like that. Trying to see which brands are Oz Approved. so SONOFF have Aus Approval? If so where did you buy them from. Seems the resistor keeps power on the whole time but very low so the wifi works but not enough to make the light come on. Thopugh I have LED lights so hopefully that will not make them light up.
@@allanapplin250 Sonoff switches don't have Australian approval.
Does the deta light switch require a neutral in your installation or it just ran off the two wires.(for each switch)
I believe it is the two wire, resistance difference method. Have a wonderful day two morning.
Neutral not required with 12W and above, but they do state it is recommended
No light bulbs need to be changed to have it work with google voice assistance? (Eg just change the switch) Thanks
Yes, just change the switch, great product so far. Have a nice day.
@@chuxxsss thank you for that! Will definitely install when our new home is built 💡
Hey mate , I’m planning to get couple of these switches, is the neutral wire necessary to make it work ?
My house is new but I don’t think it has neutral wires .
Cheers
O.k. these light switches are like the Sonoff ones. They use the Active only, but use the resistance in the switch to make a negative side. So you will be right.
Hi there, thanks for the video. I set my single gang Deta switch up last night. Can you tell me: 1: Does the switched blue light not stay on the power switch when it's turned off? I expected the light ring to remain on so I can see the switch at night! 2. I woke up this morning and when I turned the lights back on the 2 kitchen Arlec grid connect RGB bulbs began flashing and appeared to have gone back to their default setting. Any idea what's happened here. thank you! Jon
Jon, not sure about the LEDS, the Deta wall switch only goes blue when on , due to how it is setup to work with Australia wiring or NZ wiring sorry. Have a wonderful day.
Nice video!!
After installing mine, it worked for couple of hours and stopped… have you had any similar issues with yours? How reliable this thing is?
Always has work for me. How far away from your router is it?
The software is exactly the same software as all the other smart bulbs etc
They use Tuya software, it is a rebrand of there products.
This would be really useful video if you focused the camera and pointed it at the screen while you interacted with it. As it is, I can't see how you got to the useful screens.
I will now be using a screen capture software so hopefully that will be better. Did you get it to connect? Happy to help.
@@chuxxsss Thanks, I did in the end. I needed to load google home and connect some stuff together.
Can these switches be two wayed with other switches?
I Think they are just a on off switch system.
@@chuxxsss so does this mean no twin strappers are neeeded?
@@shaneparus149 no they are not suitable for 2 or 3 way switching.
Do you know how to transfer the lights to a new network
Try this website, be quicker than me explaining it.

Merry Christmas.
it's irrelevant if you know what you're doing or not. In Australia, you are not allowed to do DIY mains electrical work unless you are a licenced electrician. It's older houses that have neutrals to light switches. Most newer houses do have them. if they don't then it's probably electricians costing costs.
No sonoff and grid connect, use one Active wire and setup a resistance network to set a more negative positive wire to a more positive wire.
I like how you whine about location. How will it know how/when to turn lights on etc when you use the geofencing options? Derp 🤦🏻
I use Google home to fix that.
