What is a smart dimming light switch and why do we need one?
The smart dimming LED light switch replaces the traditional built-in light switch on the wall, which works by sending a wireless signal through the home Wi-Fi or mesh network. These switches control your LED lighting, ceiling fan, or anything connected to the switch, and can even adjust the brightness of the LED lights.
What is a smart dimming light switch?
When creating a smart home, the first thing to do is to change the lighting in the home. You can achieve this in many ways by setting up a smart plug, installing a smart light switch, or replacing an existing light bulb with a smart LED lighting bulb. Although all these options have advantages and disadvantages, smart dimming lamp switches are one of the more durable ways to get your smart lighting up and running.
The function of the smart dimming light switch is very similar to that of the ordinary light switch, except that it can operate wirelessly through low-energy mesh networks such as Zigbee and Z-Wave or directly through your home Wi-Fi network. Thanks to this, you can control the LED lamp switch manually through the app on your smartphone, through the voice control of Alexa or Google Assistant, or manually on the switch itself.
Why do you need a smart dimming light switch?
Smart dimmer light switches have many of the same functions as some of the best smart light bulbs, but they can convert a light bulb you already own into a smart light bulb at no additional cost. With the help of a smart dimming lighting switch, you can dim the light when you want to watch a movie or prepare dinner, and dim it during working hours. You can even schedule your lights to turn on or off at specific times, and set specific lighting scenarios and control your lights when you are not at home.
Most smart dimming light switches work perfectly with Google Assistant and Alexa, so when you really don’t want to get up from the sofa, you can ask the voice assistant to change the lighting LED. You can also use the app on your smartphone, or if you can’t seem to find your phone, you can use the switch manually as usual.
Keep in mind that not all smart switches have dimming functions. Smart dimming light switches usually cost you a little more money, but if controlling brightness is important to you, then the extra investment is definitely worth it.
Things to remember before buying a smart dimming light switch.
If you already have a lot of lights, but don't want to replace each bulb with a smart bulb, then a smart dimming light switch is an excellent solution for your home. Finally, although the installation process is a bit tricky at first, it is actually more cost-effective to install some smart dimming light switches.
When installing a smart dimming light switch, you need to make sure that it is compatible with your existing bulb and that the bulb itself is dimmable. In addition, most of the time you need to connect the smart dimmer switch to the neutral line. If you own a house built before the 1980s, this may not be the case. Of course, there are exceptions, you can still find some smart light switches that do not require a neutral wire.
Although the process of installing smart light switches may be more complicated than simply screwing on a new smart light bulb, these switches do allow you to control multiple lights at once (for example, if multiple light bulbs are controlled by one fixture). They are also handy when guests come over and may not know how to operate your lights, because these switches work manually.
