MODERATORS
the regular switches do. their 3 way switch and dimmers don't, though.
Under tplink you mean Tp-Link s220 smart, or the tp link - kasa is same electornics, different brand name?
dimmers generally dont click if you can switch to dimmers.
Sonoff switchman is pretty silent
That would be probably the cheapest. I will check one for test :O
There’s also the sonoff tx ultimate, which technically is a touch switch but it’s got haptic feedback (like iphone’s touchid button) and speaker.
Which you can still disable
“Chinese version from Ali” prolly means somebody slipped the plans to their cousin at another factory.
They did the best they could and used the parts they could buy the cheapest.
Hahah, could be accurate 😂
Wait’ll you see the version from Temu!
I recognize this is out of your budget ($50/ea) but the Lutron Casetas don’t click whatsoever.
Relays always click. Some much louder than others. If these are for lights, get dimmers. They never click because they don't use mechanical solenoid relays.
Noted 🫡😁
Kasa are pretty quiet. Actually listen for the light click when turning off adjacent hallway lights
