Similar SAA approved outlets at 1/10th of Iconic pricing: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32792694818.html Bluetooth enabled switch is not a good idea either due to limitation on the number of BLE devices within the same area, Wi-Fi switches would be much better option. Re: What are these powerpoint and light switch??? 4Jul 12, 2019 4:55 pm The switches are CTEC http://www.ctec.com.au and are probably the best looking wifi switches available at the moment (still plenty of room for improvement though). They cost around the $120 mark for a 1 gang switch up to $145ish for a 3 gang. Do not buy any electrical gear from aliexpress, even just from the pictures you can see the switches don't even sit in the fitting properly, just like Arlec or Deta from Bunnings. Just terrible quality and you have a high risk of faulty straight out of the box with nowhere to return it. Re: What are these powerpoint and light switch??? 5Jul 13, 2019 12:30 am SAA switches from Alibaba suppliers need to be tested and evaluated on case by case basis. But most of the latest I have seen are comparable in quality with Clipsal or CTEC (in fact, CTEC is white labeling Chinese switches from Alibaba). Aliexpress I quoted above were just as an example, Alibaba provides much more options. But there were not pics over there where switches sit in the fitting, so I am not sure where do you see what they are not fitting properly.

Thanks, just found it. https://www.facebook.com/CtecSmartLightSwitch/ looks pretty good and we might go for this. Yes, NEVER buy electrical products from overseas, and even I avoid buying from eBay.

Re: What are these powerpoint and light switch??? 12Aug 06, 2019 2:57 pm CrazySmith Yes mate, I agree they are the best looking. Looking good. I believe you upgraded your existing switches to CTEC. Did your house has neutral line running thru the switches? I am building with a volume builder and I have no idea how the wiring is done. I am planning to upgrade the switches on few places after handover.

I am building with a volume builder and I have no idea how the wiring is done. I am planning to upgrade the switches on few places after handover. Yes I have got neutral wire. You can request neutral wire from your builder and I think they can do it. Do the upgrade afterwards otherwise the builder will charge more. Also don't go for the cheap crap from eBay, I had some bad experience with those ones and finally dropped them in the bin.

Too late ask the builder as they already started the painting. I am hoping they have done neutral line. But not sure.
