Infrared controllers for lighting

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.

    Maybe with Aico alarms the wired versus wireless connection issue is being backwards compatible.


    There are presumably millions of wired alarms that can share a limited amount of information through the wiring, if new alarms are “upgraded” to share more information then presumably all the alarms would have to be replaced at the same time, you could not just replace one alarm that is say six years old. You can however extend a wired system wirelessly, I have been doing that for many years.


    Going back to the original post, the first thing that Amanda needs to do is to determine what the user interface will be and how it will be activated.


    I presume her client already has an infrared remote that is activated by visual recognition, put presumably it needs to be roughly lined up with an infrared switch to work. It would presumably be on a par with installing a infrared switch and tuning it to a spare button on the TV remote?
