Hey guys, I’m looking to replace my Shelly 1L devices since they lose wifi connection quit often. I use them in detached mode so I can control my Hue lights connected to them using Homey Flows. I want to replace them with zigbee alternatives and preferably the zigbee devices should support Touchlink/direct binding. I connected the Shelly using the 2-wire connection since I don’t have any neutral wires behind my switches, so the switches should also be able to be connected to only 2 wires. Last demand is that my Jung switchgear is usable as well, so Aqara/Hue/Tradfri wireless switches are not an option. Do you have any suggestions for devices I can use? TheFops ---

How was Shelly and Jung connected then? I’m a bit curious why an Aqara f.i. can not be a choice. Or do you mean something like this: ![Screenshot_20210806-001943_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/e/6e26ca1eed28cf7516d9719f99aa46c464dd5370.jpeg) (Your name indicates you could probably be able to read Dutch 😉 ) ---

Yeah I meant something like that. An Aqara T1 could be used I think, although with that one I’m not able to dim my lights because it’s an on/off switch. ---

I alao use most of my switches detached and currently working to get rid of the Shelly stuff. Can the aqara T1 work with momentary switches and detached from a smart light? So it only registers a push and can bind some actions to it? ---

I have been looking for this too, since I want the flexibility of smart lights but also want to be able power toggle if necessary. It seems that Niko will be coming with such a device in 2022: [Geconnecteerde enkelvoudige schakelaar, 71 mm, schroefbevestiging, Zigbee®](https://www.niko.eu/nl-nl/artikel/552-72111) They seem to be foreseeing quite a nice range of products ([Search](https://www.niko.eu/nl-nl/search?filter=search(zigbee))). I really hope that support will be foreseen for this. ---

Looks interesting, unfortunately not interesting enough for me since I use Jung switches…
