Instead of needing a slave dimmer Smart Series can do 2 way or 3 way dimming which means you can dim the same lighting circuit from 2 or more switches (or locations from the room). Timer functions allow you to switch off the kids TVs at the same time every night and a little bit late a weekends. Setting up the App is easy with its auto calibration function and controlling it can be done by anyone.

Selecting the appropriate color or finish for your lights and switches is key to creating a unified and attractive interior. Your energy use can be seen in real time plus a 7 day energy history to assist in managing your energy usage. The real power of the switch is that it it can become an integrated part of your smart home when paired to the Link Plus hub.If one of the switches has more than one wire in both the L1 and L2 terminals then you have a two-wire system. Once you have identified your system, please follow the steps in the section below that applies to your set up.

Finally, you need to create an ‘automation’ in the app to group these devices together so when one Lightwave dimmer is switched the other will too. Lightwave do all sorts of different smart devices, heating, sockets, sensors so we reckon it’s definitely worth thinking about whether you can use them in your own home. Lightwave also saves energy with its built in energy usage monitor, or add a smart sensor to your system and ensure that the lights are never again left on needlessly. We reached out to Lightwave and asked them if they would like to collaborate on this project, and it turns out they loved our idea, plus my requirements were all possible. For rooms with more than one bulb or a chandelier, you can save money on Smart Bulbs by choosing a Smart Dimmer instead.The first morning of the automation we both woke up successfully at 7 am feeling refreshed but I realised that I’d set the top brightness a wee bit too high, I thought I had entered heaven or something. This Starter Kit includes the LP2 model of the Link Plus which is not backward compatible with Lightwave's first-generation Connect Series devices. The simplicity that home automation added to their busy lifestyle drew them towards Lightwave's innovative solutions. The Lightwave Link Plus sits at the heart of your smart home system, enabling easy remote control of your devices.

The switch has output terminals for Normally Open, Normally Closed and Common, which also allows it to switch most types of boilers as well. Formally known as Lightwave RF, Lightwave is a home automation system that allows you to control your lights and electrical devices from your smartphone, voice or directly on the switches, power sockets or heating controls.Simply pair the dimmer to the Link Plus hub using the Lightwave app (iOS and Android) to unlock advanced smart home control at your fingertips.
