Dimmer Switch for EU renter (sopuli.xyz)

I'm looking into setting up a home assistant smart lighting system just like this person has although they use the Lutron Aurora dimmer which isn't made to be placed on top of EU light switches.

Is there a Dimmer switch that works for EU? I have found alternatives but they all require removal of the switch already in the wall rather than placing on top, which isn't very renter friendly

Check Ikea. They've got a whole range of led lighting that has its own wireless control system.

looking at Ikea I found the Tradfri wireless dimmer, perhaps I could just use that an stick it on a wall with something like double sided tape... not ideal but it works

this may be able to help me integrate it

For sticking anything to walls, I’d highly recommend 3M’s Command range rather than regular double sided tape. They’ve a bunch of products for fixing things to walls that come away cleanly when you take them off.

Yes that's what I was thinking of, thanks

Ikea uses Zigbee. Works without problems with zigbee2mqtt too.
