Hi,

Looking for any other makes of ' wise box ' for remote switching lighting and pumps round fish pond please and any feedback

thanks

try

'home easy'

eddys do them,

200w dimmable, and I think 1000w non dimmable,

they are actually for remote lighting, so you need your own enclosure, but they are pretty cheap,

4 channel remote

Have you used them steps as thats the one a new contact has recommended but wanted feedback on it.  It will be switching pond pumps and lights on a gaff worth about 1.5 mil which has an existing wise box with burned out circuit board.

Only thing is they want to incorporate timers into this aswell.  Is that something that can be done.

I have zero experience with these but am not gonna pass this job onto a better spark than me lol so no digs please

Ive only ever used them on lights, and I think they are spot on,

they are fairly small so can be installed at the fitting, rather than a central point,

I have a dimmable one here, about 55mm square and 25mm deep

The 30m range is the only problem ive got with that steps might be a bit close

 

[steptoe]

ok, well ive never tried it even close to 30m, prob 20 max.

I have one over our dining table (dimmable pendant)... tbh its the dogs...

I've also fitted one (pendant) to give 2 way switching.. power into l&n, existing switch across switch terminals and pair with remote switch

If its of any use i was looking at a similar thing at Elex.....think it was on the scolmore click stand

Don't know if it what you are after but screwfix have a range of Internet controlled relays and switches that seem to be quite good. Just recently installed some in a place in London as the customer wanted to be able to turn their lights on when away. All controlled via an app on their iPhones. Only drawback is the relays are limited to 500watts.

Well, yes, but, you can use them to drive a bigger relay, then a bigger one etc., think Darlington Pair...

Anyone know how to incorporate timer into this too. Looks like the home easy one will time aswell but wise box cant. Any ideas?

Cheers

DIN rail timer in an enclosure?
