Looking for a switch/button/remote control to hang on my wall
Posted: 13 Dec 2017, 20:38
Hi!
I'm completely new to the rflink gateway concept, but I have ordered some hardware and I am eager to get started
. We have some old Home Easy dimmers and switches and some blinds of an unknown brand. I'm hoping to get all of these into domoticz and then I guess they could be controlled from an app, or with sensors.
The thing is, in addition to all the fancy stuff, I'd like to just have a simple button on the wall to turn on my lights or to open up the blinds. So I'm looking for some affordable switches that can trigger domoticz to do something specific. Googling gives me some z wave alternatives (but I don't have z wave hardware yet). I'm sure there are also 433mhz options (or maybe 2.4GHz could work too???), but when I'm looking for hardware supported by rflink gateway, I get lost among all the remote controls that come with systems much like our own Home Easy plugs. And that's not what I want: I want buttons/switches/remotes that I can 'program' to do something as defined in domoticz.
Can someone suggest some good options? Preferably a brand with a variety of designs (simple button, up down control, etc) that look good together.
