Nexa WTE-2 not added
Im trying to add my WTE-2 wall switches to my Zipabox but for some reason they are never recognised, i'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong or if it's my box not behaving correctly. When i go to "Add new device" and select the WTE-2 it tells me to set the device into inclusion mode but no matter how much i press the on buttons and no matter how close i get the wizard just continues to count down and then times out.
When searching this forum it's a bit hard to know if it works for others or not. Being able to add these to my setup is pretty important to me. I'm planning on changing my lights to Philips HUE and i need a way to turn them on/off and possibly dim through the Zipabox and not actually cutting the power to them like a standard wall switch does.
Is there anyone that can give me some assistance with this? Has anyone else managed to add them properly to their setup?
Now i could also go with a Z-Wave solution, for instance use
http://www.tkbhome.com/?cn-p-d-181.html or http://www.vesternet.com/z-wave-fibaro-universal-dimmer-2-250w provided that these can be used without an actual light connected to them and just act as Z-Wave remotes.
Nodon has a switch that could be my fallback but it's not so good looking(i've only seen pictures online so far)

Does anyone have experience with the tkbhome, fibaro or nodon switches/dimmers?
My box is currently running firmware 0.9.999.8x4
The same question
The simpel answer is no!
Zipato tried to get it to work but did not manage.
And I finally hade to give up.
I now tri to add Schnider switch in sted but ther is problems with this to.
But I really hope they integrate this correctly!
The Philips hue wall switch remote I can really recommend!

OK, then i would suggest that Zipato remove the WTE-2 from the list of devices in the wizard, it's a bit misleading to have it there if it doesn't work. Could someone from Zipato confirm that the device isn't working?
Regarding the second question, does anyone have experience with the tkbhome, fibaro or nodon switches/dimmers? primarily if they work properly or not and can be used like i need, it will be pretty costly in the long run to buy devices in the hope that they work.

It works but really bad. You have to press it 10 seconds to pair and 10 seconds to send command.

You don't need to press it for 10 seconds. The thing is that the device doesn't generate the right message if the press is too short. If your press lasts about 0.5 second, it should be enough.

Im guessing you guys are talking about WTE-2 and not the other devices, how did you go about adding it to zipabox? I must have tried all combinations of button pressing but it just isn't recognised.

It is strange. i have no problems with this device. Try to synchronize and restart the box.
Do you have an external 433 module or Zipabox Duo? Are you having problems with other 433 devices or just that one?

Tested, and now it seam to work ok. But I have to make some more extensive testin!
I have the external 433 MHz module. No problems with other 433 devices!
Best regards Jacob!

And i have the Zipabox Duo and i have no problem with other 433MHz devices other than when adding my Nexa WMR-252 they weren't controllable but when i added them as Nexa EYCR-250 they worked fine.
Nexa WMR-252 is a build in dimmer and Nexa EYCR-250 is a dimmer plug, i guess they use the same hardware.
Don't know if this gives any more clarity but i know that the box is receiving something from the WTE-2 while trying to include it because i was able to add it as a Chacon LCMR-1000, that doesn't really help me since thats a receiver. The weird thing is that it's not added if i try with Nexa LCMR-1000.

I believe your problem with WMR was an accident. The thing is that, for some reason (maybe it wasn't in learn mode actually), WMR didn't receive the learn command in the discovery. I can't think of any other reason for that problem.
The box never receives any message when you are adding a receiver. So you can't be sure that the box receives something from WTE. I never tested WTE with DUO (but i will) and I suspect that the problem might be because it is a DUO what you have

I'm having problems with the WTE-2 as well. I have successfully added the device. I use this switch daily, and it's quite frustrating. Sometimes I only have to hold the button for 1 second, and some other days I have to hold the button for 10 seconds. I'm also using a Zipabox Duo. This problem has persisted over several firmware versions. I really hope you are able to fix this.
