# Using is typically wired or screwed into a fixture or device, wired or otherwise connected to the electrical system of the building or plugged into an outlet. The radio receiver's memory is programmed by any number of means to respond to certain selected "switches" or (more correctly) remote control transmitters. # Using the existing power lines (such as and a device is then plugged into the receiver. The plug-in receiver is then programmed to the switches. Some devices are hard wired into ceiling light fittings, making for a hidden system. COMMON USES FOR WIRELESS SWITCHES Complicated wiring Multiple transmitters can be used with a single receiver, allowing more than the two-switch limit imposed by using a Three-way Switch . Some Modern Vehicles also have built in transmitters. Remodeling Wireless light switches eliminate the wire from the light to the switch location. This is useful in Remodeling situations where new wiring can be a hassle. Rather than tearing down a wall to gain access to the wires a wireless switch can be used. This avoids any need to access wires and makes remodeling fast and simple. Log homes Another use for wireless switches is in Log Home s, the electrical process in log homes is very technical because there is a lot of Routing and Drilling involved. In order to get a wire from the light to the switch, the Electrician has to drill a hole through all of the logs to get a wire to the switch location. The electrician also has to route a large hole in the log in order to install a switch box. Wireless switches do not need switch boxes because there are no wires, which means that there is no routing which decreases the electrical work required in a log home. BATTERY-FREE SWITCHES Most wireless light switches, such as the X10 solutions, rely on batteries for power output. instead of Batteries . The mechanical energy created by pressing the switch generates enough energy to send a radio signal to the receiver. |
