[QUOTE="KrizzyB, post: 522783, member: 34291"] Kinda, so I have 2 table lamps and the ceiling light, all with smart bulbs. The lamps are always powered on which is easy enough, and the ceiling light has the switch on the wall bypassed and covered over. I currenlty have a battery powered wall switch which, when pressed once, turns on the lamps and with a double press will turn on the ceiling light. The switch isn't very esthetically pleasing and I wondered if I could splash out on a fancier one, I really like the Lightwave as mentioned above but, it needs to be used as a regular wall switch for the ceiling light, whihc i do not want as we do not use the ceiling light, i mostly use the wall switch to turn on the lamps. So what I want to know is, can the Lightwave be installed to the wall, and only be used for it's smart features without toggling the power to the ceiling light? The other option is to get a neutral wired into the switch but I imagine this is quite a lot of work. [/QUOTE]
