    You are completly right, the device is LEDVANCE PLUG EU, and it can control and measure electrical power KWH,

    I would like to find out how much power my tv uses in 24 hours.

    So I want to clear the amount of KWH, already used measuring a lamp.

    I have tried a reset, without any luck.

    Regards. Bjarne

    Most switches from GE and Leviton these days are three-way compatible/ready, but you need to use the companion switch of the same brand and product family (I think GE even has a package with the two together in the same box).

    However, you should not do this yourself. If you are asking here, you do not know what you need to know to do this job safely, and you need to hire a licensed electrician. Practically speaking, wire color means nothing; while there are standards and conventions, there is no telling if your home was wired to those from the start, or if work done since it was built did not alter the original conditions. Nobody here can safely advise you on the current purpose of each of these wires; it would take testing with a meter or other devices to ascertain how the wires are being used, and then, which terminals on the new switch would be connected to which wires on each end. The voltages present here can, and given the opportunity will kill you and/or burn your home down. The electrician would also be able to ascertain if a neutral is present for the new switch, which many require, and many older homes in North America were built without. If that's the case, you may need to find a switch that does not require a neutral (these are available); so consult the electrician before buying any replacement products.

    Just to close this off, I managed to get a Harmony Elite and Hub from ebay. Lightly used at a reasonable price.
    God knows why they are pulling out of the market. First impressions is it's an ace bit of gear. Didn't realise quite what the hub could do and am thinking of getting another to replace my Broadlink in the cinema.

    Thanks, all

    @rafale77 I'm setting up Home Assistant at the moment, because of the wide variety of integrations. How do you use the integrations in openluup/AltUI? Is there a way to get the HA devices in Openluup? I could keep using AltUI then for frontend.

    That's a good thread. Since it still exists and just FYI, I would never have removed it. At the risk of triggering someone these days, IMO, censorship has never killed an idea, but discussion is a great sanitizer.

    @black-cat said in 3-way smart switches in separate buildings.:

    Best advice I can give you is to buy one and play with it.....

    Good advice here.

    But, in short, they all have WiFi capability, you can program them through a web browser (or their app) and a physical switch (or any number of them) can be virtually connected to a number of remotes. N-way switching (ie. multiple switches for the same lights) can be easily arranged. You don’t need any sort of central controller. They also have built-in timers with programmable schedules… Awesome!

    This is like hearing the very last Blockbuster location is closing... I never imagined any X10 devices would have made it into the 2020s, much less a houseful of them! A hearty hello from a fellow X10 traveler who refuses to empty his two Tupperware tubs of old controllers, switches, receptacles, bridges, lamp/appliance modules, dimmers, contacts, remotes, extenders, sirens, alarms and myriad other 1980/1990's-era componentry. 🙂
