Welcome.
I need to slightly modify an old, post-PRL lighting installation in my room. A lighting installation with a two-button switch. This is how it is painted on the diagram:
.
And I need to get:
-remote control from remote control + possibility to switch on/off with wall switch.
-Both systems should not interfere with each other, i.e. I switch the light on with the wall switch and off with the remote control and have no problem to switch it on later with the wall switch.
Both channels must be maintained (one or two bulbs can be switched on separately).
So combining a wall switch with a remote control from allegro in parallel/serially is out of the question. There has to be something more here.
It would not be a problem for me if I had L and N in the lighting box. The only thing I have in the lighting box is the phase wire and 2 wires going to the chandelier. There is no way to modify these wires because the room was renovated recently and I won't be forging the wall. The wires are NOT in a pessel but plastered over as the builders did a long time ago. Similarly, access to the boxes distributing power to sockets and lighting is difficult because they are also plastered and you don't even know where they are. Probably under the ceiling above the sockets.
As I wrote above the room was recently renovated and forging is not an option. The only thing available is the box under the switch which fortunately is deep.
The only thing I can think of is a connection along the lines of a two-point staircase system. This is how it is painted on the diagram according to my idea:
.
Only problems arising from such a connection:
-Where to get a two-key staircase switch that looks like a regular candlestick switch? I've never come across a two-key staircase switch.
-What about the power supply to the remote control: when the bulbs are switched off, somehow these few mA can be taken from the circuit, but what about when the bulbs are switched on? Where will these few mA come from to power the remote control if the whole thing will be short-circuited?
-Probably the possibility of using LED lighting will fall away because they will be illuminated by those few mA flowing in the circuit. But I'm not worried about that, because there will be classic bulbs or compact fluorescent lamps.
Or is there something that already meets the above requirements, i.e. a whole switch module with remote control? I have looked for something like this but have not been able to find it.
Thank you in advance for your replies.
Regards.
