Lighting Switch...with a twist. - Electrician Talk - Professional Electrical Contractors Forum

Hello All,

Scenario: There are 4 lights and 2 switches. Each switch controls 2 of the lights.

Is there an electrical switch that can be assigned a unique ID. For example, Switch 1 has an ID = 1234. Switch 2 has an ID = 5678. Then when ID = 1234 is sent, via electrical wires, then the switch with ID = 1234 is trigger to turn the light ON or OFF.

Is there anything out there that does this?

Any feedback is appreciated.

Cheers,

Chris

DALI lighting control. It's not a brand, but a protocol.

This sounds like a good application for the Leviton Intellisense controls and relay modules. These should be relatively easy to come by for an electrician.
