I our bedroom we have 2 Philips Hues bulbs in ceiling lights and they are connected to a 1 gang switch, so it turns them both on and off at the same time. Which I hate and wished we had had 2 gang put in but hey ho. Not that we use it now we have the philips hue, but my wife likes to use a light switch but loves the colours etc.
I only have 2 wires coming down to the 1 gang switch and was wanting to replace it with a 2 gang z wave switch, so we could control the lights via z wave (via HA) independently.
Is that possible with one of these please?
NEO COOLCAM SWITCH
needs to be wife proof she doesn’t like them
I want something that replaces the actual switch and was going to use a fibaro/aeotec switch behind but then we still only have the 1 gang, if you see what I mean
Alright. Well in that case you could then basically remove the physical switch from the wall and have both light bulbs always powered on, install a new physical switch (e.g. z-wave based) that sends triggers to HA which in turn remote controls the two bulbs via the Hue integration.
If you want colours then simply turning on/off the Hue light bulbs independently through a two gang switch would not help anyway.
yeah I know thanks. The problem with the current physical switch is, it turns them on default white, where as I was hoping the z wave switch would have them on at their last settings, same when you tell Echo to switch them on.
Hence wonder if anyone had used the one I listed and if it was easy to wire considering I only have 2 switch wires to play with,
