Hey all,
I have a 4 way regular combined light switches on my left, one of which turns on the kitchen light:
The problem is, my kitchen is on the right side of the hallway, so every time I have to go left to turn on the lights.
I would like to put an additional light switch on the right side of the hall, at the entrance to the kitchen, without having to drill the walls and put additional cable.
Is there some kind of wireless light switch paired with something I could put in front of my lightbulb cable that could work in complement to the existing light switch? I don’t want wi-fi solutions, it would be stupid not to be able to turn on lights when internet is down.
Lutron Caseta has a wireless switch you can place anywhere as a control.
Would it somehow be compatible with the existing “traditional” switch, so both can be used at the same time?
In some other sub, someone suggested me a relay behind the main switch and a wireless ZigBee button, so far it sounds like the best option. Would this be similar in any way?
Lutron Caseta has some good documentation on this. You would need to replace one of your existing switches with their product, and then you can place remotes anywhere you like.
For a three or four way topology, if you want to keep your existing switches, you’ll need to use the PD-10NXD, and definitely wire up the neutral.
That is a dimmer. There might be a switch that’s compatible with 3/4 way, but I’ve only used the dimmer.
