Researcher has developed, at a cost of less than one dollar, a wireless light switch that runs without batteries, can be installed anywhere on a wall and could reduce the cost of wiring a house by …::A U of A engineering researcher has developed a wireless light switch that could reduce the cost of wiring a house by as much as 50 per cent.
Seems like a solution to add light switches for people who have homes that weren’t wired properly with switches for their lights.
For those of us with proper wiring, this probably falls under “ain’t broke, don’t fix it”
Or folks like me who have an all cinderblock exterior.
Living in a 150 year old house without proper wiring, this would be an immense improvement.
