Smart switch alexa is does it count
Former Community Member
So looking through regs items need to be switched to be controlled. So does an Alexa for type switch count. If you run a normal switch then add Alexa bulb say at some point someone will turn off the switch and the item will over time deprogramme. Therefore you could short back of switch giving constant power and solving problem but is that within the regs?
Frankly, I cannot see a problem with getting off one's backside and operating a normal switch manually.
That is assuming that one can get off one's backside so I suppose that the device could be a useful aid for those who are severely disabled. However, it would not be a suitable means of isolation or emergency switching - Table 537.4
ETA: Mike beat me to it as I was fumbling through the BBB to find the reference. ?
