I'm looking at kinetic switches to enable me to control three lights in the same room from three locations. Kinetic because wiring would a real mission! Need to have dimmable too. Has anyone experience of Ener-j and/or Quinetic,? Cheers
not much good unless you can get under boards above the light pendant. ? Plus that noise every time...
Hi, First floor room so access from loft is fine. I know what you mean about the noise: it's a bit grating like those Hue Tap switches! Alternative is to go with those good old fashioned cables! Lot more hassle and cost of course. If I do go down that route will probably use Varilight gear. Current arrangement is wireless hence absence of cables. Cheers
Hue bulbs and 3 of the stick up wireless hue switch/dimmers. Job jobbied. The bulbs will still work from whatever other switch is there too.
Yes, I did look at that option as I have Hue already but I would need 9 switches at £16 each so £144 right there plus the Hue bulbs. And battery changes for the switches. But I agree the option with the least amount of work.
Decided to go Quinetic and got stuff on order. Thick end of £200 for 3x3 gang switches and 3x switch/dimmer modules not too bad I guess. Did look at Varilight Master and slave touch switches. Cheaper but the wiring a challenge. Not difficult, just a lot of it! If these kinetic switches take off I can see certain situations like mine will be a much easier job. Depends on how reliable the kit proves to be. Be interested to hear what the professionals think?
