I have been searching all over the internet without any success..?

i am looking for an all-in-one dimmer switch which is compatible with homekit and doesn‘t need a bridge such as the Eve switch just with a dimming functionality https://www.evehome.com/en/eve-light-switch

- wall light switch
- dimable
- homekit compatible
- 230v
- no bridge

The only one i could find - which is not available since more than 6 months - is from a chinese company Koogeek..!

As thread and matter has already arrived seems to be wrong that i would need still a hub or a product such as hue, etc.

help appriciated much

Not 100% sure exactly what you are after, however there is this little quirky product which works well via the Philips Hue app.



There is also the Philips Hue Dimmer Switches which can be customisable providing you have Hue bulbs!

Ah right, you are after a wi-fi enabled dimmer switch compatible with Homekit that does not require a home hub.

I searched wifi dimmer switch homekit on Amazon and this is one of many results

Thanks Bl0ckKe1d but these are only on/off switches not dimmable… in the US or better for 110v i have found plenty such as Kasa from TP-Link, Wemo, TuYa, meross, luton, etc. but none for the EU???

I search for the exaclty the same product and the closest I found is a German company named Eltako, the product is this one. In my opinion it is even better since you can use whatever switch brand you want. I haven't tested it yet but looks promising. I also would be happy if I can dim it like this. However, I am planning to purchase and try it and I can share feedback.

I am a big fan of Meross and they have dimmers, but only for their US products. It's really odd that even though they have more choices for their EU switches, none are dimmers.

FWIW, for anyone else looking at Meross switches, pay attention to their power limitations; only rated for 400 watts incandescent or 150 watts CFL/LED. I wired mine up to 1000-watt flood-lights, but I used Meross to switch control relays in between.

Yes, I landed on them and they inded look good, but as you say, unfortenotelly (as other great products) they are made for US market only. 🤷‍♂️

Actually, I did not mean it like that. If you look at their website, they have an EU version of everything else. They simply lack a dimmer for EU. Maybe there is some technical reason for this? 🤷‍♂️

Did you have any luck with these? Seems from the diagram that it might be for use with momentary switches.

Feel's like I am in an even more niche use (though it's not niche at all) that I want to have 2 way switches and dimming with HomeKit native. I can have that with shelly but don't want to have to use a bridge. And with meross I have everything except dimming.
