RE: Wireless light switch...

Alternatively there is good old X10.



If you fit a Micromodule behind your existing lightswitch (search for LMM21
for no neutral or LMM31 if you have a neutral), then that allows the light
to be controlled by any remote X10 controller.



The simplest option would be a plug-in microcontroller that plugs into any
socket in the house and you can control the light from there. 
Alternatively you can plug in a Transceiver (TM13U) which will allow you to
control the light with a remote control (of which there are various).



Most of this is commonly available from most of the UK home automation
outlets.

Subject: [ukha_d] Wireless light switch...







I need a wireless light switch solution, but...

I want on/off control of a single light from two locations. The light is
currently controlled by a normal wall switch which I want to keep but I
also want to have control from another place too. Adding wiring to the
second location isn't an option.



There's plenty of links for American product to do this but nothing for the
UK.

Ideally the solution will use a normal on/off switch too (not momentary) so
I can keep my existing faceplates.



Is there anything that can do this?

Relay logic can do the mains switching part (via a wireless link to the
switch) but what can I use at the switch so that a press either way will
operate the light as expected? i.e. will cope with the switch being in the
"on" and "off" positions?

My brain is fried just now from thinking about it....



Many thanks,

Tim.
