This is the plain-plate sibling of the MOES Star Ring switch listed elsewhere on this site — same no-neutral-required Zigbee 3.0 board, same Zigbee2MQTT/ZHA support, just a flat white rocker instead of the backlit ring, at roughly half the price. Zigbee2MQTT supports it directly as the ZS-EUB_1gang (ignore the Amazon listing's 'Tuya ZigBee Hub Required' title text — that's generic Tuya marketing copy, not a real requirement; the switch pairs with any standard Zigbee coordinator). MOES rates it 10A total, with LED/CFL loads capped at 3-120W and incandescent loads at 3-300W (110V) or 3-600W (220V) — the LED figure is the one that matters for most UK lighting circuits. It fits a standard 86x86mm UK single-gang faceplate, but MOES doesn't publish a minimum backbox depth for this model, so measure a tight box before ordering.
What can Home Assistant control on the MOES Zigbee Smart Wall Light Switch (1 Gang, Neutral Optional)?
| Control | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Light | Switch | On/off control of the load; supports a device-side auto-off timer and post-off lockout window set directly on the switch rather than through an HA automation. |
| Power-on behavior | Select | Off/on/previous — determines the load state after a mains power cut. |
| Backlight mode | Select | Off/normal/inverted — controls the status LED indicator behaviour on the faceplate, independent of the load's on/off state. |
| Signal quality | Sensor | Standard Zigbee link-quality diagnostic; worth monitoring since this switch never acts as a router even with the neutral wire connected. |
Zigbee2MQTT exposes on/off with hardware-level auto-off and post-off lockout timers plus power-on-behavior and backlight-mode selects — no motion or energy reporting, just switching. The firmware-batch quirk mentioned in the editor note isn't really a gateway-compatibility wall so much as a misidentification bug: some manufacturer strings get fingerprinted as a different sibling switch, silently swapping in the wrong options and reporting as an end device rather than a router. That end-device status is otherwise normal, not a fault — this switch never routes even with the neutral wire connected, so don't plan on it patching a mesh gap the way an equivalent Aqara or Fibaro unit would.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the MOES Zigbee Smart Wall Light Switch (1 Gang, Neutral Optional) work with Home Assistant locally?
- Yes. The MOES Zigbee Smart Wall Light Switch (1 Gang, Neutral Optional) is controlled locally in Home Assistant through Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA, so it keeps working if your internet connection or the MOES cloud goes down. Control and state updates stay on your own network.
- Which protocol does the MOES Zigbee Smart Wall Light Switch (1 Gang, Neutral Optional) use, and do I need a hub?
- The MOES Zigbee Smart Wall Light Switch (1 Gang, Neutral Optional) uses Zigbee. To pair it with Home Assistant you need a Zigbee coordinator (for example a SkyConnect/ZBT-1 or Sonoff dongle) attached to your Home Assistant host. MOES's own hub is not required when you integrate through Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA.
