Pocster Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) 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 ??

Pocster Posted January 15, 2023 Author Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) 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 !
