Smart switches — wall, scene, dimmer, roller-shutter — Zigbee + Wi-Fi.
Official importer of Sonoff and Moes — models with and without neutral wire for every Moldovan home type.
Active filters
In new Chișinău buildings 95% have neutral. In pre-1990 buildings about 50% do not. Ask us if unsure — we verify before you order.
1 / 2 / 3 / 4 gang — pick by number of independent lighting zones in the room. A hall with 3 independent spots = 3-gang.
Wi-Fi: simpler, no hub, but slower (~500ms latency) and router-dependent. Zigbee: instant, local, no cloud — needs a hub once.
Touch = modern look but +30% on price. Mechanical = classic, cheaper, better haptic feedback for older users.
Technical comparison of the 5 dominant smart-home protocols. Values reflect realistic scenarios on the Moldovan market (May 2026).
