DIY lights

[Pocster]

Need to start thinking about my kitchen ceiling lights - all HA controlled .

Rather than get a sparky in to add a zwave din and wire all the lights can’t I just wire them in parallel to a ‘ in the ceiling ‘ plug socket . Then I can change my automation z wave to maybe zingbee . No sparky required 😁

Kitchen lights all low wattage led - so no issue off a standard plug socket .

Anything wrong with this plan ??

It doesn't involve walk-on glazing.... should be fine

Zigbee - bloody spell check 

[Pocster]

Right ! Then I shall make it so ! 
The advantages with this method are 

 

no sparky required 

 

can change to zwave /zigbee/matter -whatever myself ( no Din stuff )

 

Gets the controllers out the IT cupboard so frees up space .

 

Less wiring back to it cupboard and CU

 

Which lights are controlled by which controller totally upto me 

 

As we will have a “ Swindon office block “ type ceiling I can alter light placement with ease .

 

perfection !
