About to have an extension and refurb of the house done. We had bought a few expensive smart bulbs the old house but smart switches seem a better way to control large numbers of lights.
Are there any switches that talk direct to the WiFi or do they all need to talk to a box that then talks to the WiFi. The belkin wemo seem to be like the latter option but not available for the UK market whereas light wave and energenie seem to need a box that the switches communicate with. Or am I misunderstanding this?
Most of them need a box of some sort to talk to, as far as I'm aware - some have their own, some can join to a hub system.
My setup is has a bunch of hubs and bridges for lights, switches, TRVs, and soon to be cameras, connected to the home network and all controlled over single interface
Talk to me about smart switches
