Rocks1001 Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 11 hours ago, PeterJames said: I imported the light switch's from China I used to buy a lot of CCTV directly I buy very little now. There are a few different ones on ebay, but most dont do two way for hall and landing where you need to switch either light from upstairs or downstairs for example. The ones I imported have a wireless switch that looks the same as the normal switches, so rooms that have two light switch's have a wireless one at one end. Mine are similar to the Sonoff switches https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sonoff-T3-EU-1Gang-Smart-WiFi-Wireless-Touch-Switch-Wall-Light-Remote/293588175534?hash=item445b380aae:m:mKb5butd_BuZhQ7hDIl-K6Q Yeh I looked at a few switches from China but still can’t find any ones with dimmer functionality in the actually switch, only Lightwave seem to have that functionality but don’t want to go down route, too expensive, also ideally want switches to match sockets but there is even less choice regarding smart sockets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 you could use these for straight switches https://sonoff.tech/product/wifi-diy-smart-switches/sonoff-mini but id change them into their other mode to keep privacy etc look into home assistant to do it all yourself Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Lightwave option is expensive, just want to find a smart dimmer with matching smart sockets, can’t seem to find a company that does both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 id say the lightwave option is cheap its a 1 way tech that is horrible to keep reliable. But are you looking at £15 and a plug in device or are you looking to do it properly?

But are you looking at £15 and a plug in device or are you looking to do it properly? Well I don’t really like proprietary protocol it uses also, but I think spending £60 a socket that looks rather bland isn’t great value, others may disagree I think something around the £30 is reasonable if it’s looks modern.

PeterJames Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I dont have any sockets, I did have the lightwave RF plug in type, but I found I never had a use for one. Most stuff I can control via ir, or low voltage wireless relays or 433 switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Depends what you are plugging in; see for Z-Wave lights these are great, because they look like the switches they replace so manual override is intuitive. Work perfectly with Fibaro and many others as per the table on the website. Getting hold of them though, can be interesting at the mo. http://www.swiid.com/en/produits.html#SwiidInter Quote So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
