On a white wall two glowing Star Ring discs handle the evening: a tap switches each light group on, a long press eases the brightness down without flicker.

Two LED circuits on one grey glass frame: the Star Ring dimmer sets the chandelier and the spots apart, each gang with its own brightness, through a Tuya Zigbee gateway.
699MDL
A white glass plate with a lit ring sets brightness by touch or twist; on the Zigbee network through a Tuya gateway it eases the light from night-glow to full chandelier.
629MDL
A grey glass panel with a glowing ring shows the level, and holding a button dims the light smoothly through a Tuya Zigbee gateway — for dimmable LEDs up to 200 W.
629MDL
Smoothly dims mains-voltage dimmable lamps over Zigbee: an existing halogen or LED fixture gains flicker-free brightness control, with no LED strip involved.
