This switch looks for me as simple clone of the ZRM230 from ACT...

Has somebody some experience which those zwave devices? Can you read them in Schneider Electric software (before Merten)?

Hi everyone, I am an engineer from eVida Smart Home Care, a Z-Wave system distributor & integrator in Singapore.

We have tested the TKB_TZ66-D switch long time ago. One of the problem is that it cannot fit nicely into an external pattress box due to its size (a normal pattress box is too shallow to contain it). You may refer to the attached photo to understand what I mean. For houses with recessed hole for internal pattress box, you need at least a 70mm deep hole for a safe buffer to house the TKB_TZ66-D, and this could lead to extra charges in renovation.

In addition, a neutral wire is required from the ceiling lamp to the switch level. This again is a disadvantage for those with concealed wirings in existing home, unless you won't mind laying an external trunking for routing the neutral wire. Otherwise, it is best to install the TKB_TZ66-D during your house renovation - hence you really have to plan ahead.

However if anyone is interested in a Z-Wave switch panel, eVida Smart Home Care has a Z-Wave touch panel switch, which is priced between 40 to 55 euro, with a selection of single, dual or triple gang touch panel switches. Please email me if you would like to find out more.
