Control of a Commercial Wireless Light Switch

Q&A Forum › Category: Home Automation › Control of a Commercial Wireless Light Switch

Gordon Reed asked 3 years ago

Has anyone controlled a commercial wireless switch, any device, via ESP32, Arduino, etc. I want to turn it off or on based on an input condition from sensors. I do not want to us a relay with the switch for insurance reasons.
Thank You.

Hi.
It depends on the communication protocol of the wireless switch.
What is the communication protocol used by the wireless switch? And what is the brand?
Regards,
Sara

Thanks for the very quick response. The following is an example of a switch. How and where can I find the
information you have requested. Better yet where can I learn how to do this on my own. Side note, you folks have great courses, have a number of them,

Hi.

Your switch can be controlled via wi-fi, and it can be controlled using Google Home and Alexa.
I’m not familiar with those light switches, but I found this that might be useful: https://github.com/BenJeau/arduino-tp-link-smart-plugs
