There are several different technologies that are used in remote control light switches. Some use radio frequency (RF), while others use IR or Bluetooth. Despite the wide range of these technologies, there are still many questions about how they work and how to use them effectively. Luckily, this article will shed light on some of the main points of remote-control light switches. Read on to learn more. 

• Wi-Fi

A Wi-Fi remote control light switch lets you turn your home appliances on and off. It does not interrupt the power line going to the light fixture. It simply commands the light fixture or home appliance to turn on or off. A wireless light switch is great for anyone who uses a lot of electrical appliances, such as lights. Wi-Fi remote control light switches are the latest innovation in wireless lighting. They make it easier than ever to control your lights from any location.

Once you purchase a Wi-Fi remote control light switch, install it on the wall at the desired location. Most light switches are 48″ from the wall. If possible, mount it inside the doorway. When installing a Wi-Fi remote control light switch, remember to install a ground screw on the electrical box. Attach the black wire from the module to the black wire from the power supply. Splice the red wire from the wireless module to the black wire of the fixture. Then, use wire nuts to secure the wires together.

• RF

There are two types of RF remote control for light switches. Wireless models require batteries, while RF remote controls are battery-powered. Wireless models use radio frequency signals to communicate with a receiver installed inside the light switch’s junction box. The RF remote switch works within a range of 150 feet. They can also be programmed to turn off lights after a certain amount of time or reduce energy usage. The wireless light switches can be installed in existing light fixtures without rewiring the wiring.

• IR

IR remote control of light switches is a convenient way to turn on and off your light bulbs without wasting time changing their light bulbs. The device features a small battery-powered transmitter and a receiver that plugs into the junction box of the light switch. IR remote control of light switches is compatible with a variety of household appliances, including refrigerators, televisions, and other electrical devices. Wireless remote control can control many different devices in a single unit.

• Bluetooth

Many light switches are now available for wireless use. These devices act as a standard light switch, in between the switch and the light fitting, and can control the lights within the room. They use Bluetooth to communicate with one another, and some devices have a Wi-Fi companion app. Bluetooth-enabled devices can sometimes have connectivity problems. For example, if your Wi-Fi is down, you won’t be able to control your lights remotely.

• Tunable lighting

Tunable white lighting is an advanced technology that allows the user to control the color temperature of light. These lights can be used in many different applications. They can be used to enhance a particular feature of a building, such as a shape or angle of the building. Tunable white lighting is also an ideal solution for a building or a room where you wish to highlight specific features of a design. Tunable lighting systems offer full control over light color and intensity.
