Infrared controllers for lighting

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
Morning Chaps and Chapesses, 


Has anyone had any experience with infrared lighting controls? I've seen the downlights you can get with a remote control, but this situation is different. The lighting in the space is LED strip recessed in the ceiling coffers, and the client has no mobility so would be turning the lighting on and off with a remote that they also use for other things. Thing is the lighting also needs to be operation by a switch for the other people in the house, and in some rooms they would like it dimmable. Would love to hear if anyone has done something similar.

    I did the Aico alarms training online a couple of months ago, one point they raised was that devices such as smoke and heat alarms alarms can transfer more information and instructions between the devices when they are connected wirelessly that they can actually share through a length of copper wire.


    So Aico actually recommend wireless connections in preference to hardwired connections.


    I don't doubt Sparkingchip for one moment, but that has to be nonsense. How does the information from whatever chip is in these alarms get to the antennae if it is not by wires? ?
