Deane Johnson Posted December 5, 2024 Posted December 5, 2024 The title says it all. I'm wondering if anyone has found one. I have a need and haven't been able to locate one. I'm building my Z-Wave network for use with my new eisy.

I'm building my Z-Wave network for use with my new eisy.It seems the non-nuetral devices have all disappeared since low current light bulbs have appeared on the market.The low draw and distorted waveforms have made it next to impossible to create enough energy to support a decent rf transmission for most protocols without a neutral wire.Sent from my SM-S711W using Tapatalk
Guy Lavoie Posted December 5, 2024 Posted December 5, 2024 If you ever find such a device, it would need to be controlling a load that can allow some current to leak through when it's off, to provide power to the module itself. That was the main characteristic of incandescent light bulbs. If you only have one or two such loads, then you might consider (don't shoot me...) an X10 switch for that, and you would need to have either an incandescent bulb as a load, or one along with the newer low power LED type lighting. Not likely to happen.
Deane Johnson Posted December 5, 2024 Author Posted December 5, 2024 Thanks everyone for the enlightenment. You saved me a lot of hassle. As "they" say, knowledge is king.

As "they" say, knowledge is king.Therecl are small devices that wire into octagon boxes that provide enough current to accomplish this. AFAICT they are most capacitors inside do there is no heat generated due to their leading power factor not having any Watts.Sent from my SM-S711W using Tapatalk
Phil G Posted December 29, 2024 Posted December 29, 2024 (edited) I found a Leviton 2-wire dimmer that is controllable with HomeKit as well as their own app. I bought it hoping to pull that dimmer into Eisy after the big UDI update in January. It requires a Leviton WiFi bridge device which is the size of a small wall wart. The Leviton app and setup, and HomeKit integration, was very smooth. Edited December 29, 2024 by Phil G
