Got lightwaveRF in my living/dining room. When we decorated it the wife did not want lights in the middle of ceiling,just floor standing lights in the living room bit, the two wall lights near the dining table and two down lights above some shelves, the two wall lights were on a Separate switch behind the door and she wanted it moved to the living room switch but I was not allowed to do any Chasing out?
4 lightwave 13amp sockets, two inline relays, 1 mood light switch, some Wagos, single blacking plate and half a day got it all sorted, the only hard bit was taking 2 floor bords up to fit the inlins, did not go for the app as the mood switch is all we need, the best thing about this is when she moves a floor lamp all have to do is swop the socket and as all wiring is still in place if we move or she want ceiling lights it will be easy to put it back to how it was.
Total cost was about £180

Haven't worked out the lightwave products yet, every link seems to end up you having to contact them?

I must be smart coz when it's dark I switch the lights on and when I don't need the light I switch it off, very smart don't you think?

It's just like the days when you had to get out of your armchair to switch over tv channels. Just think you could get your phone out to turn on the lights.

Middy I'm so sorry, I was brought up with switches that worked with a click that indicate either on or off, all this smart stuff is beyond me, to old to learn new stuff Mate, no offence intended.

 

[Toneyz]

Was that the Click Smart stuff?

it was this as could not take the floor up but it did the job for what we wanted.

Be no good down our street as soon a BT or one of the other utilities does something it takes out the telephone line and internet.

Cheers. I was looking at that stuff, before I started considering the Philips stuff. Philips does seem a little less complicated to install, but their GU10's ain't that bright (lumens).

Just go lightwaveRF.com or have a look at screwfix they sell it now

@Midwest If your not interested in the app, hub and internet etc then maybe this would suit your needs.
Quinetic - https://www.quinetic.co.uk

Looks like they do kinetic wireless switches and dimmer or switching relays.
TLC stock it too

The problem I have, is this one pendant has been wired from the switch, so I just have the one cable there. I want to have three sets of different lighting (eek sound like a DIY'er).

There's nowt wrong with being a DIY'er

Well I went down the Philips Hue route, its not friggin cheap. In fact, it would of been cheaper to send her indoors away on weeks holiday, had the ceiling down, wired up what I wanted, plastered & painted. Job done. But there ya go.

Anyhow got starter packs from Currys, stuff from Argos & Screwfix. Downloaded the app, so working on working that out. When I went into Currys, the bloke there flogged me an Echo Dot for £15. So currently shouting at this bird called Alexa (hence my post elsewhere ).
