Quinetic switches etc

whjohnson
Already fitted one of these for some LED strip in a kitchen when it was added post-kitchen-fit as an afterthought and it works well.

There is now a proposal to fit another to control a light fitting in another room. The requirement is for a stone 'feature wall' to be left uncovered so no cables down wall please - doncha just lurve these cushion throwers!

Question is, how to make the two switches in adjacent rooms not turn each others lights on? I don't recall seeing any DIP switches to swap operating frequencies on the previous switch I fitted, hence the query.

Comments welcome

    Sorry for the delay replying. Yes, it is as Mapj1 says... the signal was very marginal to begin with. What changed was the kitchen went from 'a building site' to a functioning kitchen. The fully integrated fridge right next to the switch and between it and the receiver is what tipped the balance.


    Oddly even in its failure mode, the failure was only 'once in a blue moon'. Being a new install, the customer rightly had us put it right. Which we did by extending the receiver to very close to the switch position with 3core and earth LSF clipped direct above the cabinets out of sight. The reason for the need for quinetic was the existing decor in the half of the kitchen with the switch was not to be touched.
