Homekit Accessories in Australia - power plug switch

I use the eve one with 230vac https://www.evehome.com/en/eve-energy

Belkin used to sell plug-in smart switches in Australia but withdrew them from the market a few years ago. My guess is that their lawyers were concerned about liability if a switch causes damage or injury.

They need a WeMo Bridge to work with Homekit. This can be bought online and uses USB power so works in Australia . I have a couple of WeMo switches and Bridge working great with Homekit but I am concerned that I cannot replace them if they fail.

Regarding lights, I use LIFX lights that use wifi for Homekit connection and don't need a bridge. Luckily they remember the last setting when switched off at the light switch so, provided I remember to have them "on" when I switch them off at the wall switch, they will come on again when switched on at the wall switch. Homekit can''t see them, of course, when they are switched off in this way.

Not in Australia but philips hue, elgato eve, ikea TRÅDFRI and Netatmo stuff works with HomeKit unless they are not on the market there they should work

This is a list of available HomeKit products currently available at Apple in Australia.

I hope this helps.

I'm after the same but I'm looking for Homekit enabled light switches that are approved for use in Australia. I don't see any value in replacing globes that rely on voice or app only to switch on/off. I just want to update switches to get voice access and still have the same 'manual' functionality at the wall.

I have seen options on the Apple list that 'should' work (i.e. 240vac and same size/format) but no decent sparky would install anything that is not approved for use in Australia.

I'm certain there would be a huge market if some manufacturers had a go.
