Wireless Switch
Switches are essential accessories in a home's electrical installation for switching the lighting on and off, as well as any electrical devices connected to a power outlet that a switch controls. Nevertheless, these switches aren't always properly positioned: they're sometimes behind furniture, there isn't one near the back door, you'd like to not have to get up to turn off the light or close the blinds, etc.If you aren't good with electrical work, it isn't always easy to add a switch in a room without calling a professional. However, wireless products allow you to add as many switches as you like.
Why install a wireless switch?
There are many advantages to fitting a wireless switch:- Put switches wherever you like
- Very easy to install
Wireless switches are very easy to install with screws and some can even be fastened with a repositionable adhesive patch. This is a perfect solution if you don't have the necessary tools or your wireless switch needs to be repositioned later on. Sold in ready-to-fit packs with everything you need, all you have to do is put them where you want.
- Improved everyday comfort indoors
How does a wireless switch work?
A wireless switch works by radio waves being transmitted between a transmitter (the switch) and a receiver (or receiver module). This system allows you to position the switch and receiver wherever you like, even if both elements are separated by walls. The range of the radio waves is several dozen metres (40 to 50 m depending on the model). This means you can add a wall switch wherever you feel you need one, even in a different room to where the receiver is installed. The same receiver can also receive a signal from multiple switches, which is perfect if you want to control the lighting or blinds from various places in your home.A wireless switch very often contains a battery. However, some products work without an electrical power source or battery: the switch works using kinetic energy produced when you press the button or move the switch.
