I’m in the US, and I own an older home where all lighting circuits do not have a neutral. I’ve gotten around a lot of this using Sengled zigbee bulbs with some success. I’ve left the generic on-off switches in the wall, but I think I’d really like to start making things a little more usefull.
I’m considering getting a few of those tiny relays you can place in the junction boxes for lights, but the issue is finding a scene selector to replace the generic light switch with. Everything is controlling relays in the device itself. I’d like the ability to just trigger events without having to muck about with battery operated devices or voice commands, and simple enough that I don’t have to take the family on a tour of the house to get training on how to use the lighting.
I’ve been searching for a while now, and I’m just not coming up with anything that seems to fit the bill. I’d prefer to stick with zigbee or zwave and really don’t want to deal with matter based wifi devices, but I can definitely bend my requirements on that bit if it means achieving the goal of simplified automated lighting.
Thanks in advance for your ideas or recommendations.
