    You can look around, but the ones I went looking for are Tuya brands:

    • Aqara
    • Moe’s
    • Sonoff

    And I would stay from anything that is not battery operated. I’d never hardwire anything ordered from AE into my house for obvious reasons. You also have to accept that some pieces you get may not be the best, but I only get sensors, bulbs, and controllers and haven’t had any issues yet.

      Ah you just meant “things” not keypads. I was asking specifically about keypads.

      Yeah I have a ton of generic tuya ZigBee devices, they work great. So far only real complaint is bulbs that act as repeaters, they really shouldn’t since they can be turned off at the switch.

        There are definitely a lot over there for sale, but I haven’t seen any brands I recognized or wanted to take a gamble on. If you see something like, just try and find a review on it somewhere.

          I’ve not seen a single ZigBee keypad. Some WiFi ones but that’s trickier to get working without the cloud. There are also no generic ZigBee tuya keypad listed on the Z2M device list, which leads me to believe there isn’t any I have missed.
