Downstairs I have a ‘dumb’ triple light switch (like this) which controls the outdoor porch light, the downstairs hallway light, and the upstairs hallway light. The upstairs hallway light is in a 2 way configuration, with the second switch being a single gang switch upstairs.
So only 1 gang on the switch is on a 2 way wiring? Just to clarify
There’s also the sonoff tx ultimate, which technically is a touch switch but it’s got haptic feedback (like iphone’s touchid button) and speaker.
Which you can still disable
Sonoff switchman is pretty silent
I had a similar problem but with a 3 gang 2 way split to 2 different switches. Ended up installing sonoff basic r4, the new magic mode made it possible for the 2 way to work.
I just hide them in the ceiling since all were downlights.
On a second thought, it’s doable to dim the lights directly from cloudfree switch.
Yes, link the app and then you’ll need to set automation that toggles the bulb on or off when triggered by the light switch.
As for the dimmers, there’s martin jerry dimmer (with tasmota) but you’d still need a hub like homeassistant that can send the button presses to dim the wifi lights. Since this is not supported by alexa, unless your bulbs are running the same tasmota firmware like the cloudfree bulbs.
Replace with a switch that supports decoupling mode. Like cloudfree switches, enable that and pair it to alexa.
You can probably add it to kasa app as well with matter.
Any cheap tuya remote, install esphome on it, set automation to control speakers on ir signal received from tv remote button, then just set an interval.
There’s wizmote, it’s using espnow to control the lights directly.
So you need to replace each 1 gang switch with 3 gang and the remaining 2 gang not wired to anything to control other lights?
Try athom switches and use device group to link them
I still don’t quite understand the need to unscrew and screw the led. Probably some diagram would help. From what I can recommend, without rewiring you could.
Add a smart relay (shelly) to 3 way switch, replace the lights with smart bulbs (cloudfree). Enable decouple mode on the relay, relay stays on. Link the lights to the relay with device group. So toggling on/off would only toggle the smart lights but the AV stays on.
Probably add a condition that the lights in the basement only get toggled off if nobody’s sitting on the couch.
I unscrew the bulbs to get the lighting set up.
I might be missing something here, is this on the basement and why?
So basically there’s light bulbs on the stairs and there’s 2 ceiling lights in the basement. Are you using e27 bulbs for all the lights?
Yes, you will be reusing the existing 2 way wiring.
If you don’t intend to add the extra live wire, then you’ll need to change your 3 gang switch to a momentary type or convert one of them to momentary
