lifx announced some pretty cool switches a few months ago- I'm waiting for them to come out.
I will look into that, sounds like just what I have been waiting for. I’m just using Koogeek switches at the moment for HomeKit. That’s why I like LIFX
haven't heard any updates on the LIFX switches though.
how are the koogeek switches? Any issues?
@andresampras: I have a single gang and a double gang. The double gang 1 of the switches has gone faulty and sometimes when turning of the light it still provides power to the light so the light stays on. If you leave it off it can randomly turn off after 20 mins to 5 hours otherwise have to flip the circuit breaker to turn it off. Other than that 1 issue I find them to be very responsive. The only 240v wall switch I have found so far. The C-Start switches from GE look great and 1 model has a motion sensor in the switch as well but they are 120v. We are very limited for choice in Australia for HomeKit capable smart switches.

Agreed. 'Tis a pity; my gut says the market is ready for it.
@andresampras: Check this out https://homekitnews.com/2019/08/27/new-lifx-lights-and-lifx-…
You'd think we'll be seeing them pretty soon looking at this.
@Di0genes: That's the link I saw as well…but nothing official from LIFX? I don't know that I trust it.
Besides, I wouldn't like touch-sensitive controls. I crave the tactile satisfaction that can only come from pressing a well-designed button or switch.
Bunnings has these. Im getting these installed next week.

I just need the downlights. I wish they could have a low per item discount just for those.
I am in the same boat
JB currently have them at $79 each, so 4 of them would be $316. Good deal if you don't need the minis.

Would the 2 x MINI Day Dusk and 1 x A19 used together in a tri-globe ceiling pendant be enough to light up a 25sqm living/dining room?
I have a couple of these they are great. Still need to find some decent smart wall switches though for fluorescent light fixtures.
