Hello every reader :)

Story short:

I was planning to buy more Aqara Smart Wall Switch E1 versions if the china one from Ali is working with my HA.

It works but the turning on/off sound made by the switch, the “clicking” is too LOUD for me… I can hear from everywhere in my flat and it bothers me when automatization kicks off.

Every smart switch clicking feedback is that loud? The H1 version is quiter?

Could you recommend switches which are quite silent or not too loud?

My budget is up to is 30€/switch. But if there are more cost effective switches I would like that.

I would prefer Zigbee ones but my home is not that big so wifi won’t be congested ever probably…

I need the clicking feedback but not an 65-69 dbA sound… (Yes I measured)

    “Chinese version from Ali” prolly means somebody slipped the plans to their cousin at another factory.

    They did the best they could and used the parts they could buy the cheapest.
