Talk:UL Certified Wireless Switches
Just read that hackaday article, and yeah i echo the whole "Must be Listed and Certified" stuff. That is all over the NEC and granted it would *probably* not be the point of failure, i'd rather not risk it given Electrical Fires are the main cause of House Fires (short of Cooking Fires / smoking and candles, but those are far more easily avoided with just watching stuff and turning stuff off / extinguishing candles when not in use, and having extinguishers in the kitchen etc; small easy stuff).
That and although they were ambiguous with if they would enforce it etc (or if they would even be able to easily know post-fire) i'd not risk anything (at least with most) with insurance companies given how they are quick to deny claims etc (Another granted: I have been lucky enough to not have to had dealt with massive fire/hurricane damage etc, so can't entirely speak to that)

On another note, UL Certification of OSE Devices / Certification of OSE Devices in general, despite being a pain, is probably worth it for the trust reasons etc. I think, albeit to an extent some of that ties into if/where stuff can be sold or imported to etc.
I need to read up on the process. The only thing i can to speak to is Food Certification ; a Beekeeping channel i follow went over some above FDA level certification that supposedly Walmart and the like require. That consisted of essentially a bunch of paperwork, and some reccords keeping / QC type stuff, but otherwise seemed somewhat easy.
Hopefully hardware would be similar, but it may involve Destructive Testing or some major fees or something
I'll get in contact with the people over at Precious Plastic (once i'm done with some wiki work... ) about this since if i remember correctly they have done so before
