There is a 'proper' mains supply already installed with a sub-CU with
6A breaker for the lighting. (With an RCD main switch). The lights we
want to control will probably mostly be 12 volt LEDs with a
transformer to supply them.
I did a quick Google Shopping look for 'wireless light switch' and
there seem to be a bewildering variety of them, how do I choose?
Are there standards such that different makes will interwork or is
that a faint hope? I'm quite happy to D-I-Y from quite low level
stuff if that makes sense from the price/function point of view. I
buy and build quite a lot of electronics stuff from Rapid Recall, CPC,
etc.
One set of lights will (probably) be operated by a fixed 'switch' on
the wall in the summer house but others might want more distant (50 to
100 metres maybe) operation with a plip type remote.
Any/all recommendations and ideas would be very welcome.
I bought one years ago and it?s worked faultlessly ever since. It appears
to be a discontinued brand however so that?s not hugely helpful to you I
know. (?Home Easy?).
If I were buying again I?d go for one with kinetic switches (no batteries
needed) instead although I?ve never had to replace mine in the last 8 or so
years.
Something like this.
