    Obviously, the same in the baby's room, at least when he was small to medium-large ;-) .
    BTW in the kid's room I had halogen + triac dimmer with on/off switch in the knob, which in addition to smooth, linear adjustment from zero (LEDs don't dim linearly - Gamma correction...), pleasant light has a softstart.
    something similar:

    Today, to achieve such an effect on LEDs you need to harness a microprocessor, a power supply, an inverter, LEDs with a CRI of 97, heat sinks, and it will still be difficult to find a knob with a switch that won't die too quickly from sparking when switching on a switching power supply....
    That "mandatory" wasn't literally, just tongue-in-cheek....
    I don't insist on saying that only my solutions are the best. If it works and someone likes it then that's good too. I might even take a cue and apply it myself.

    - This solution with the knob as much as possible is ergonomic - unlike buttons, especially as there is a lot of accuracy and from min to max you have to click many times or hold for a long time. Good old solutions... But the automation is worse here. You would need, for example, an encoder + suitable software.
    Tradfri used to have such a dimmer (wireless) for their light bulbs, but they withdrew it from sale.

    But in an encoder you can't sense the position on min-max in the dark. This ergonomics, despite appearances, has its importance.

    - but if you hook up some automation which also controls the brightness then the min/max positions will no longer matter.... Unless a motor like some amplifiers :) .

    The Dimmerbox you mention is a triac dimmer and is only suitable in practice for traditional incandescent bulbs - if someone can point me to an "LED bulb" that actually works with it, not just pretends to and still doesn't cost a fortune, I'd be happy to use it.
    .
    I bought one and a Philips Dimmalbe LED bulb, and because it was BlackWeekend I bought the cheaper Shelly Dimmer 2. When I get it up and running I'll share how it works. I also still have a Zamel DIM-30, so we'll see. ;-) In the description for the Shelly Dimmer 2 it says they can also control DC, so if that's true they would be a super-universal dimmer. Two per ess (aledrog enclosures, or 3D printer).

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the planning and execution of home automation systems using ESP, Arduino, Sonoff, and Shelly devices during a complete electrical renovation. The user aims to create a switchboard that initially functions with traditional controls and gradually transitions to automation, incorporating motion sensors and smart relays. Key considerations include the choice of wiring, the use of bistable relays for lighting control, and the integration of automation servers like Home Assistant. Participants emphasize the importance of careful planning to avoid space issues in the switchboard and suggest using wireless solutions for flexibility. Various relay options, including the use of dimmers instead of relays, are discussed, along with the need for a standardized control voltage. The conversation also touches on the integration of alarm systems and the potential for using LED strips and smart bulbs for enhanced lighting control.
