I've never really seen anything. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) You can look around, but the ones I went looking for are Tuya brands: Aqara Moe's Sonoff And I would stay from anything that is not battery operated. I'd never hardwire anything ordered from AE into my house for obvious reasons. You also have to accept that some pieces you get may not be the best, but I only get sensors, bulbs, and controllers and haven't had any issues yet. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Ah you just meant "things" not keypads. I was asking specifically about keypads. Yeah I have a ton of generic tuya ZigBee devices, they work great. So far only real complaint is bulbs that act as repeaters, they really shouldn't since they can be turned off at the switch. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) There are definitely a lot over there for sale, but I haven't seen any brands I recognized or wanted to take a gamble on. If you see something like, just try and find a review on it somewhere. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago* I've not seen a single ZigBee keypad. Some WiFi ones but that's trickier to get working without the cloud. There are also no generic ZigBee tuya keypad listed on the Z2M device list, which leads me to believe there isn't any I have missed. permalink fedilink source parent
