Exploring the Best Zigbee Dimmer Plugs for Network Strengthening

I’ve been on a quest to find the perfect Zigbee dimmer plug to not only control my lights but also strengthen my Zigbee network. After some research, I stumbled upon the GE 45852GE, but the reviews mentioned some issues with LED bulbs not fully turning off, which is a deal-breaker for me. I’m looking for a reliable alternative that doesn’t compromise on performance.

I came across some Tuya-based smart switches on AliExpress, specifically the 2-gang and dimmer versions. They seem promising, but I’m wondering how they stack up against the Shelly 1, Shelly Dimmer, and Shelly 2. I’ve heard great things about Shelly products, but it’s always good to explore other options, especially if they can be integrated with Tasmota for more control.

For those in the UK, the Rose design is ideal since it doesn’t require rewiring, making installation much simpler. I’m curious if anyone has experience with these Tuya devices and how they perform in real-world scenarios. Any insights or recommendations would be invaluable!

Additionally, I’m exploring the possibility of using these devices alongside my existing Zigbee network to see if they can help reduce interference or improve reliability. If anyone has tips on optimizing Zigbee performance, I’d love to hear them. Let’s keep the conversation going and help each other find the best solutions out there!
