Lightwave smart switches from the latest Smart Series provide you with an easy to operate home automation system. Set timers, scenes and more with this exciting offering that's LED compatible. The Lightwave Smart Series Light Switches are designed to be user-installable but, based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend it, especially if you are looking to use them in areas of your home where you need two-way or multi-way switching. The Lightwave Generation 1 switches looked super-attractive, and the Generation 2 Smart Dimmers maintain the same quality build. Finished in brushed steel, the switches look every bit like high-end designer models. The only slight disappointment is that, currently, this is the only finish available. The previous generation offered a range of options. the "niko" in theory can replace the official light switch, but I don't like hard wiring it "on", hence I'm keeping the switches covered (unless a 3rd party comes up with ta product that has both the mechanical switch + wireless kinetic)

Currently, there are no accessories for Generation 2 switches. Generation 1 had scene controllers to set pre-defined lighting moods, and dedicated remote controls.Or away from home? Gain peace of mind and use Lightwave’s home automations to set schedules for lights to come on at certain times to simulate occupancy. Two-way communication allows you to instantly see the state of each smart dimmer, from wherever you are.

Move all wires fitted to L2 to the X terminal on the Lightwave switch. Move all wires fitted to C to the X terminal on the Lightwave switch. What if I have more than two switches in the circuit? Wired dimmer switches are wired directly into the lighting circuit just like an ordinary light switch or dimmer switch and are designed as an easy to install retrofit solution.From the app, you can automate your devices, choosing when they should come on or off.

This is a neat way of automating your lights, particularly if you’re on holiday and want it to look as though someone is in the home. Lightwave Generation 2 – Alexa, HomeKit and Google Home If you are in a scenario where you do not have neutral wires and you are connecting a 1gang to another 1gang dimmer then please see the below video : Wired like a conventional dimmer switch, Lightwave smart switches can be used as a retrofit solution to replace existing switches or dimmers. With advanced dimming control, you can fine tune the dimming performance on the App to get the best possible dimming results for LED lamps and integrated LED downlights. and a "niko" branded square one with 4 buttons with short/long hold assignable to anything from the app - individual lights or moods or rooms or upstairs or downstairs...

Elevate your home lighting with Lightwave Smart Dimmers. Unleash the potential of intelligent lighting and experience a new level of control, comfort, and energy efficiency. First and foremost, I like the look of the Lightwave Smart Series Light Switches. They come in brushed stainless steel or white metal and feature a separate on and off switch with an LED status indicator. I went for the white switches since I didn't want visible fingerprints which the stainless steel model looked to be a magnet for, and the white color also matches the aesthetic of my home better (perhaps a brushed metal may look better in a more modern-looking home). Wireless smart switches that can be positioned anywhere. Ideal for installations where a cable can't be run Dimmable: Yes suitable for dimming LED lights. For GU10 LEDs we recommend the Aurora Ice 5W GU10 LEDand for integrated LED downlights go for the Aurora MPRO. I have the covers aswell - I swapped out the LW switches with some basic MK ones and the cover goes on top with a Hue remote magnetically on top - so you can leave the remote on it or take offGoogle Home support is available, too, and there’s now IFTTT support. Lightwave Generation 2 – Performance Having a metal faceplate adds a premium feel and, though I thought this might annoy me at first, I actually like having the LED status light. The LED colour and brightness can be customized in the Lightwave app, though it can't be turned off completely, unfortunately. Those in the UK looking for a HomeKit-compatible, hardwired smart switch solution should get the Lightwave Smart Series Light Switches. Though they are quite an investment both in terms of money and time, the end result is still worth it. Dimmable: Yes suitable for dimming LED lights. For GU10 LEDs we recommend the Aurora Ice 5W GU10 LED or Philips branded GU10 LED lamps. For integrated LED downlights go for the Aurora MPRO. That was the other major problem with Lightwave's switches. When connected and turned on for the first time, the switch automatically performs a calibration process to find the maximum and minimum brightness level for the bulbs connected.
