Controlling lighting from 15mtrs away

[grandfortune]

hi all,

Customer has a sub main to a barbecue area , mains board then sockets and switching for lights etc.

He would like to switch the lights on from the house , so was wondering how best to do this , I've try'd lightwave in the house itself and think they are terrible and switch failing alll the time dimming impossible 2way laughable . So would like to stay away from that make guys

Cheers
Grand

I've used this stuff before ...

EasySwitch Easy Switch Wireless Switches - https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Lighting_External_Index/EasySwitch/index.html

Never had any problems...

Or you could be really lazy, and put some of these in;

Philips Hue - http://www2.meethue.com/en-gb/

I did wonder about those but does the client have Wi-Fi in the bbq area?

My neighbours keep using my Wi-Fi

Umm, you will I assume be using cables to supply the power, what about having a switch in the house?

Only joshing. But when Sky ballsed up my broadband connection for two months, I was tempted to use my neighbours in-secured connection

Tempted?

It would be theft

Only problem, is deciding how big a hammer.

It does explain why your responses at the time were so slow.

Besides, knowing him, he'd be downloading all sorts of nefarious stuff. So don't want to get involved in all that.

Frigging slow now, God damn Sky.

How does Rako work? Is it all cat 5 when doing it inside a house?
