I use 2 double BTicino pushbuttons in a 2 module frame with a VMB8PB behind it, works like a charm.
An extra tempsensor in a 3 module BTicino frame is possible but i think you have to cut a piece of plastic from the sensors housing, just like with the VMB4PD

Hey Cantryn ! 2 double push-buttons aren’t easy to find for me… could you post me references ?
Thanks by advance
4 push buttons -->
**BTicino **L4036 x 2 (around 18€ wall ready solution but no leds) Vimar Idea 16121 x 2 (depend of quality but around 18€ metal wall ready solution but no leds)
**Niko **1xx-40300 x 1 + 1xx-40110 (near 50€ for a full wall ready solution with leds included)
Right ?
Cantryn and Jeroends : which plastic are you cutting ? Velbus module or BTicino ?
I’ve a new question :
Are BTicino L4036 push button like “click” (24v electronic push button) or more like 230V push button (with a long press course) ?
Same question for Niko system (koshoo40)
By the way, VIMAR 3 modules cover plate is 117x80… but interior is 73x43 while Velbus VMB4PD is 64x42 !
What about BTicino ? and Niko ? please, I need more informations
And last, I would like to find same cover plate series for VMB4PD and for 4 push buttons ans other RJ45 / sockets / …
Not exactly sure what you mean, but if you’r asking about the button travel when pressed, the bTicino buttons have a travel of almost 1cm (from the top off my head, not at home at the moment)
About the cover plates, the bTicino Living, Light & Licht Tech are compatible with Velbus modules. You can get them in a gazillion colors and finishes.

Well, in fact, I dream to a touch feeling like VMB4PD push button feeling (the “click” touch)
I think Niko is able to do that (24V push button) while BTicino and Vimar are 230V push button (are able to break 230V voltage because of mecanic press rather than switch).
Coaxel has show me BTicino living cover plates samples : it looks good.
Now, I’ve to find L4044 modules --> 2 P/NO push button… if someone knows them, I’m interested because this will reduce width module in the wall
Finally, I’ve bought Niko switch for 4 push button in a 2 modules form. Microswitch technology is used inside.
I’ve bought BTicino covers (and box) for Velbus integration (VMB4PD in 3 modules and VMB4PD+VMB1TC in 4 modules boxes)
I’ve tried to find same light grey cover and dark Niko switches, to be visually similar with BTicino+Velbus colors.
Now it’s time for cabling the house
Thanks to all for your help, will try to help newbies when it will be my turn
