Compatibility notes
- Frontier 'Aura' HomeKit light switches by Taiwanese maker King-I: Bluetooth 4.2 LE, no hub, no neutral wire (powered by two AAA batteries in the switch body), touch control with LED indicator (HomeKit News, April 2019).
- Line includes a North American version (15 A/120 V) and EU/CN/UK single- and 2-gang versions (16 A/250 V). The model suffix (-1C) appears to denote 1-channel; which region the WS-286HK vs WS-8363HK series corresponds to could not be confirmed from a source.
- No manufacturer product page found (King-I/Frontier site not located; frontiersmart.com is an unrelated DAB-radio company). No manufacturer image found, so image left null.
- Legacy 2019 product; no firmware history or Matter/Thread certification found.
