Zemismart<\/strong> has unveiled its smart product, the Zigbee Neutral Touchscreen Switch <\/strong>(model ZMZ609-2), a US-style Zigbee<\/strong> light switch that combines traditional lighting control with a 1.9\u201d colour touchscreen<\/strong>. Designed for installations with a neutral wire<\/strong>, the new switch offers control for two lighting circuits<\/strong>, whilst adding a number of smart features, including real-time energy monitoring<\/strong> and a proximity-based wake function<\/strong> for the display.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Unlike conventional smart switches, the ZMZ609-2 centres around its integrated TFT touchscreen<\/strong>, which displays the time, date, weather, lighting controls, and power usage information<\/strong>. Users can swipe between pages to access light controls, settings, and energy statistics directly from the wall, without needing to open an app.<\/p>\n

The switch uses a built-in radar sensor<\/strong> to automatically wake the display when someone approaches, although this feature can be disabled if preferred. Individual buttons can also be given custom names within the Tuya or Smart Life app, making it easier to identify lighting zones or rooms on the display.<\/p>\n

As with many of Zemismart\u2019s Zigbee products, the ZMZ609-2 requires a compatible Tuya-based Zigbee hub<\/strong> for smart functionality. Once paired, it supports remote control, schedules, timers, and voice assistants via the connected platform. Zemismart also states that the switch can be integrated with platforms including Home Assistant<\/strong>, Homey<\/strong>, SmartThings<\/strong>, and Zigbee2MQTT<\/strong> through compatible Zigbee coordinators or hubs.<\/p>\n

One useful addition is built-in power monitoring. Users can view real-time power consumption and historical energy usage both on the touchscreen itself and within the companion app, making it easier to track the electricity used by connected lighting circuits.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Although this is a Zigbee device rather than a Matter product, Apple Home users may still be able to bring it into Apple Home by pairing it with one of Zemismart\u2019s compatible Zigbee hubs that bridge supported Zigbee devices into HomeKit. As always with Tuya-based ecosystems, the exact features exposed to Apple Home can vary depending on the hub and firmware being used, so it\u2019s worth checking compatibility before purchasing.<\/p>\n

The ZMZ609-2 is designed to fit US standard wall boxes<\/strong>, making it primarily suited to North American-style electrical installations, although it may also appeal to users in regions that use compatible switch boxes. For those looking for a more modern alternative to a conventional wall switch, the addition of an always-available touchscreen, energy monitoring, and customisable controls gives this model a distinctly more premium feel than a standard Zigbee switch.<\/p>\n

You can buy the Zigbee Neutral Touchscreen Switch directly from Zemismart<\/a> via their online store for around US$40<\/a> or your local equivalent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Zemismart has unveiled its smart product, the Zigbee Neutral Touchscreen Switch (model ZMZ609-2), a US-style Zigbee light switch…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":584830,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[74],"tags":[18,19,17,233148,82,248434,204149],"class_list":["post-584829","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-eire","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-smart-switch","tag-technology","tag-tuya","tag-zigbee"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116917391960711771","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584829","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=584829"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584829\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/584830"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=584829"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=584829"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=584829"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
