ELTAKO Impulse Switch

Quick verdict

ELTAKO's impulse switch brings traditional DIN-rail switching into the Matter world. It is a basic on/off actuator for European electrical panels, now controllable through Home Assistant, Apple Home, Google Home, or Alexa via Matter over WiFi. No proprietary hub, no cloud. Premium priced like all professional DIN-rail gear, but the build quality and Matter support make it a strong option for structured European installations.

Standout: DIN-rail impulse switch with Matter over WiFi for reliable panel-level switching with cross-platform smart home control.
