Keep my normal wall switches and make them smart

Post by hjlopes »

I like to maintain my normal wall switchs, but make my house smart, alter my electrical circuit.

When one of the swiches changes state from on to off or off to on turns on the lights.

I have seen some but they use pressure bottoms.

I don't see my wife letting me change all the wall switchs.

Any one has any ideas on how can I do this ?

I was looking at SwitchMode put can't to see any that would do it.
one looks like SwitchMode 1 but I have not tested it. the issue is if I switch it off remotely !

What happens ?

Put Fibaro Zwave or Shelly WiFi modules in the wall behind your existing switchplates...

Buy something like Shelly1.

https://shelly.cloud/

Load ESPEasy firmware to it.

Main loads from your wall switch connect to Shelly and your wall switch connect to Shelly contact port.

Write some rules in ESPeasy.
