Hi.
I have an existing electrical installation in my house, unfortunately not very functional. I would like, without interfering with the cables, to do radio control of two chandeliers independently from two or three locations. I have two such cases at home. The third is the switching of lights on the stairs - two switches also radio-controlled.
I was tentatively thinking of permanently short-circuiting the wires in the boxes to get the power supply to the chandelier, and in the chandelier a radio receiver with a relay to switch on the bulbs. In turn, surface-mounted switches will be stuck on the walls.
In addition, I want to monitor the temperature and humidity of several rooms and add other monitoring points over time. Hence the idea of Domoticz using the MySensors system (Arduino nodes + RFM69, control panel on Raspberry PI). However, I don't want a situation where a server failure paralyses my lighting control. I would like to be able to control the lighting locally from the radio switches, and if the server is available, control from the network and read out the status.
Can anyone direct me to a solution to this problem?
By the way a question, does anyone know where to buy such a switch without electronics:
.
Alternatively I will use this Chinese solution Link , along with the receiver, at the chandelier I will add a second radio coupled to the Domoticz. The question is how much is this Chinese radio worth?
