Dear All,
i am trying to automate the kitchen
lighting system for a disabled person, converting it to an automated system.

An infrared remote transmitter will replace the switch and remote will be
with the user (wheelchair) to switch the kitchen light on/off.

Attaching
image of the wireless transmitter and existing kitchen switch setup. - the
kitchen switch i believe is connected to IN-OUT single circuit, no earth
-
the wireless tyransmitter has 6 wires to control 4 light switches but only one
will be used.
- there are instruction on the box (image attached) but
unfortunately not very clear.
- any help on remote syncronisation would also
be very helpful.

Hi,
Monkey, I was looking forward to seeing this quality kit ; then I saw the pictures. I see what you mean. Good thing the switch is on an in-out circuit?

Regards.
 
was about to say that a PIR would be the best way.
 
Thanks for your reply guys.
1. The switch "monkey" suggested uses iPhone which is not present. (It's a disabled house and not that tech savy). But absolutely agree on the bad quality of device.
2. The other light suggested needs false ceiling which is not present in the kitchen either. It's just a normal tube light.

Any my other suggestions. More than happy to bin my equipment. !!!
 
Hi all.
1. Absolutely agree. The equipment is amazingly crap.
2. Cannot use lightwave bec it's an iPhone based product. No iPhones in this house. (No smartphone)
3. Pir looks great but the kitchen doesn't have false ceiling. It's just a tube light.

More ore than happy to throw the existing equipment but would be glad to use this or something similar with remote.
 
Hi,

That's twice today I've seen Tel beaten to the keyboard, must be slowing down ( or on the beer )!

Regards.
 
I'd go either with a PIR or the lightwave kit, that can be built on in the future to turn on/off sockets and at some point (when they finally put it on the market) control the central heating and all from a remote / smartphone/tablet.

It doesn't need an iphone or any smartphone for that matter! They sell a series of different remotes to control everthing!
