    Hi
    I have the situation as shown in the picture:
    Remote control of a 230V light point from a switch 2m away - Suggestions and solutions .
    I want to control a 230V light point from a switch about 2m away from the wires of the point. The wires to the point are in the electrical switchboard. I can pull up a separate 230V supply under the switch. I do not have the option of connecting the switch to the light point circuit by wire due to the considerable demolition.
    Asking you for suggestions on how I can control the switching of this circuit from a light switch mounted in a standard 60mm box.
    Regards
    Peter

    And how do I plug this in? To me this doesn't fit my situation.... I want an existing pushbutton to close a circuit in the switchboard, so there must be an add-on element under the existing pushbutton that triggers some module in the switchboard to control the lighting circuit in the switchboard.

    Draw a diagram of what you got from the installation.

    The scheme is that I have wires from the lighting in the switchboard and I want to control a light switch with this, which is in no way connected to this light circuit; the only thing is that I can pull 230V under this button to power some relay that would control the light circuit in the switchboard.
    The light circuit has nothing to do with the light switch circuit.

    Ok, that might be, but I would like to integrate this light control mechanism into an already existing light switch. Unfortunately, I don't want to install a button from another series, because this button for the light is in a section with 4 other buttons. I would therefore like some sort of mechanism to plug into the existing button, which would radio control the circuit at the switchbox;).

    Well, take the electronics out of this new one and put it in the box, use wires to connect the electronics to the target button.

    Use https://zamel.com/pl/exta-free/radiowy-nadajnik-dopuszkowy-4-kanalowy-typ-rnp-01 as a transmitter; https://zamel.com/pl/exta-free/radiowy-odbiornik-dopuszkowy-1-kanalowy-typ-rop-01 as a receiver. Put the transmitter into a box with an ordinary switch (which you already have, matching the others in terms of design), put the receiver into a switchboard, plug it into a lighting circuit and programme it for monostable mode (pressing the key switches the relay on, pressing it off switches it off in the same way). If you used a bell button, you could use bistable mode (successive presses switch the relay on/off).
    The only disadvantage of this solution is that you need to have phase and neutral in the box under the switch.

    Thanks to everyone for their help. The matter is clear to me ;) .

    I will do as you advised, the transmitter to the box and the receiver to the switchboard.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around controlling a 230V light point from a switch located 2 meters away, where direct wiring is not feasible due to demolition constraints. Users suggest using wireless control solutions, specifically recommending the Zamel RZB-01 wireless lighting control kit. The proposed solution involves integrating a transmitter into the existing switch box and a receiver in the switchboard, allowing the switch to control the lighting circuit without additional wiring. The need for both phase and neutral wires in the switch box is highlighted, and users discuss the possibility of modifying existing components to fit the setup.
