Hi all,

Is there a LED compatible remote / local wall mounted dimmer switch
that anyone here has personally experienced and can recommend please?

This is for someone who is ill / bedridden to be able to dim / turn
off/on a std ceiling mounted (LED) lamp remotely, as well as someone
to easily do the same from the switch itself?

My suggestion would be Wemo or similar smart lamps. Somewhat higher
initial hardware cost but more flexible in what you can do with it.

They are controllable from apps on mobile phones or tablets or with a
little bit of effort by voice through Alexa. Requires internet
connection - they can also be programmed to come on at particular times
of day to make a house look occupied even when it isn't.

Cheaper clones are available. Some people clearly struggle to get them
to work judging by the reviews but I have no idea why.


Thanks for the feedback / info Martin but I think it (and similar)
might be a bit OTT in this particular situation.

For it to be workable it really 'just' needs to be a basic dimmer
switch for anyone to easily use, plus the option of some remote
control via a simple dedicated device for the person in bed.

Philips Hue dimmer systems come with a little hand gadget to control
them. You don't have to use a smart phone.
