In a few months we are moving to a new home and I’m planning to install some smart dimmers (or switches).  
I would like to install dimmers/switches with two or three buttons, with the following functionalities:

- Button 1: switch or dim wired connected lamps (dim/on/off) (and start a flow in Homey/switchable by Homey)  
This way I can still switch my lamps whenever Homey is offline for whatever reason.

- Button 2/3: start a 2nd/3rd flow in Homey.

Does anyone here have suggestions what type of dimmer/switch to use?

Fibaro Dimmer2 or Shelly Dimmer can do this.

Thanks @PascalB, I’ve bought a Shelly to experiment with. Other suggestions are still very welcome!

I use [zwave.me](http://zwave.me) dimmers all over my house. Work without the blue wire.

Als ik de site zo bekijk ziet dat eruit als zelfbouwprojectjes, of heb ik het mis @Peter_de_Vos? Dat wordt mij al snel te ingewikkeld ben ik bang, ik houd het graag simpel. 😉

Excuses. Wrong link: [Z-Wave.Me App voor Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/me.zwave/Z-Wave.Me/)
