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?
ok so the situation is I've installed an LED strip light in a customers dining room so they can change lighting effects etc and it looks nice. but it is wired through a normal switch so functional switching and isolation is by the MCB so don't want anything big and ugly. the problem is it gets switched off with the downlights all the time and is only activated occasionally so was just wondering can i effectively take the normal switch out of the circuit but still be within the regs
