Touch Light Switch Application in Home Automation

Image
Touch light switch is an intelligent switch. In addition to the traditional on/off functions, it can also be upgraded to: touch remote control switch, touch dimmer switch, touch timer switch, two way touch switch, etc. Today we’re going to talk about how these touch switches are applied to the home automation. General touch light switch You can have it everywhere in the house. With elegant crystal glass panel, it will please you and fit in home decoration. It is easy to be sensed. Just touch it gently you can turn on/off a lamp. Single live wire control makes it easy to install; replace the old switch directly.

Remote control switch Touch remote control switch gives you two choices: directly touch the switch, or use remote controller to control light. Since the remote controller is able to work through walls and the remote distance up to 20 meters, you can also have it everywhere in the hous...

How to replace old toggle two way switch with new touch two way switch?

"How can I replace the old toggle two-way switch with a new touch two-way switch?" Somebody asked me this question a couple of days ago. I told him it’s so easy to do the job. It’s some simple work rather than complicated wirings. You know why? Well, let me show you the reason here today. Now please have a look at the following figure. It is the connection diagram for toggle two-way switch. As described below, the live wire is connected to switches, then flow to the light. The other side of the load is then connected to neutral wire. When both Switch1 and Switch2 are at ON position, the lamp will be ON (picture on the left). If Switches1 or Switch2 is at OFF position, the lamp will be OFF (picture on the right). For the new touch two-way switch, its wiring actually is the same as toggle switch. See the following diagram. Live line is connected to the switches. The other side of the load is then connected to neutral line through the light. If you want to replace tog...

Two way switch, or three way switch?

Switches are classified according to the arrangement of their contacts in electronics. Electricians installing building wiring use different nomenclature, such as "one-way", "two-way", "three-way" and "four-way" switches, which have different meanings in North American and British cultural regions. If we say one-way switch in British cultural regions, it will be described as two-way switch in North American regions; and two-way switch will be described as three way switch and so forth. As a result, sometimes people will make misunderstanding about them. For example, people from USA say two-way light switch actually is called one-way light switch in UK. And if they don’t know the reason, they will get into a fight. Table below is to distinguish the difference between them. (Pole means separate circuit which are controlled by a switch. Throws means separate position that the switch can adopt.) Excellent two (three) way light switch from...
