Outdoor light switches/dimmers (Tuya alternative)

[JohnR]

Hi,

I have three security lights running off a single circuit. I want to make them ‘smart’. Was looking at the small Tuya modules that can go in the electrical boxes for each light, to give me individual control. Reading up, seems Tuya driver is no longer available. I liked the outdoor temperature range, small size, and general capabilities of the Tuya modules. These are eave-mounted lights, so not easily accessible after installation.

Rewiring is not an option.

Anyone got any suggestions for solutions?

Thanks,

John

Is there a tp link kasa option?

Thanks. I couldn’t find anything in the TP link kasa family that was small enough to go into an electrical box. I did consider adding a second ‘switch’ box for each light, but that seemed clunky and also unlikely to be weatherproof over the years.

This is the type of thing I was looking for, but they all seem to be ‘Tuya inside’…

Similar to the Tuya module.

Thanks, looks perfect!

Have ordered some. Project won’t be until the fall (when it cools down).
