DETA Smart Switch Mechanism for 3 way switch?

I'm looking to pickup up a whole lot of these DETA smart switches (https://www.bunnings.com.au/deta-smart-switch-mechanism_p0346912) as they don't need a neutral wire (and the old part of my house doesn't have one). The hallway has a 3 way switch (one switch at either end) and I'm looking to see if anyone knows if these switches are compatible? I know other Grid Connect switches don't support 3 way switching. 

 

The flickering issue is real and annoying.... however I've gotten around it by using one Grid Connect candle globe in the 5 globe chandelier. The WIFI component of the globe must be enough to stop the LED flicker.

Hi @CSParnell,

I was looking at that switch mechanism thinking it looked wrong.

You have confirmed my thoughts.

PDL 600 Series all day!! 😂

Hi @EricL,

Is there any way that I could have some of these switches you've been having issues with connectivity sent to me?

I'd like to put them on my test bench in my workshop to see if I could get them to do things like they're meant to?

I'm just asking the question, considering there seems to be issues with 2 way switching, I'd like to see if I could get the creases 

ironed out, as it were.

Feel free to send me a Private Message.

Cheers,

Mike T.

Hi @MikeTNZ,

 

Thanks for your offer but given that @n860cr found a solution back in August last year I think we'll leave this one and focus on assisting members that need assistance with problems around the house and garden at present. 

 

All the best,

 

Jason
