Simple Switch for Lamp Control with Remote and WiFi App Integration

Question

Hi, I need a simple switch to control lighting - one lamp (on / off). Control from a simple remote control + possibly control via wifi (app). Controller to be placed in the box. Thank you in advance.

See e.g. Tuya's QL series, but I don't know if it has memory, generally if you type WiFi+RF into google you might find something that suits this particular application.
I avoid WiFi and cloud control and I don't know too many such devices.

And how many channels do you need?

How many devices it will control - e.g. 2 lamps or 1 lamp.

sk1977 · Answer

There are many such solutions - type WiFi+RF in google and there are many remote controls to choose from - this is probably the simplest solution and at the same time the most stable and reliable. There are also remotes on WiFi - e.g. QN-WR01 then you don't need RF in the switch - WiFi is enough, but the switch must be within the same application as the remote.
The zigbee+RF versions already require a zigbee gateway - but the choice of devices is greater.
Check you have an N wire in the box before choosing - this may determine the possibilities.

Many thanks for your reply. Can you suggest me a specific proven type or two of such controller? You may already have experience with them. They are not expensive, but I don't want to order several and test them. I want such a controller to be stable and have a status memory in case of power failure.

Do you have an N wire in the box? See for yourself what is available considering whether it is N.

automatapl · Answer

. The electrical installation is being done from scratch so there will be 3 wires in the box.

Hi, I would like to be able to switch lights on/off via a traditional switch as well. That is, for example, I will turn off the light via the RF remote control and turn it on with a flick. I found two types of QL Tuya controllers: - 1 channel - Works with a traditional switch, - 2 channel - Works with a traditional 2 pole switch. Which controller should I choose?

automatapl · Answer

. And what's the deal with these channels? How many remotes will a given controller be operated with?

automatapl · Answer

. That is, if I want to control one lamp (one bulb) then I buy a 1-channel controller. However, if I want to control two bulbs then I buy a 2-channel controller. Is this correct? Can you recommend me any remotes for this series? I can't seem to find anything interesting.

. BleBox switchBox + remote control µRemote . There is also a version of this switch that controls two devices (with a 'D' at the end).

sk1977 · Answer

Blebox is good, especially as you can get two-way communication and confirmation of execution. But it is not cheap. Of the cheap ones, e.g. Tuya's QL. Glass switches from e.g. Sonoff also have RF and there are similar remotes for them - but this is no longer a doped solution.

That is, I buy a kit like the one below and can control a single lamp via the RF remote. Relay 1 channel QL WIFI+RF module 2300W TUYA: Remote control 2 function for QL ON/OFF modules: What do you suggest for the LED dimmer? Also control via RF.
