Hi,
I've been reading up on lots of sites on starting to integrate smart devices in my home.
But due to all the options i'm kind of lost again on how to begin.
So as starter i'm trying to make my current lights smarter.
And i'm beginning in my living room.
So i currently have light switch controlling 5 lights.
What i'm trying to do is replace that light switch with a x amount programmable button so i can device accordingly which lights turn on and off.
I know about Hue bulbs but i'm trying to make my current lights smarter (it's those special light bulbs to make the room cozy).
So i'm trying to figure out what i need to number my lights so i can program them.
I'm assuming, but please correct me if i'm wrong, i need smart switchs that need to be placed in the sealing for eacht light.
Then i need to replace the light swith with a programmable switch.
Once that is done i need to add them to my HE and program eacht button to activate the accordingly numbered light?
Is my thinking correct?
And do i then have everything to achieve my goal.
What about the wiring behind the old light switch?
Do i just hook everything up so the smart switches have constant electricity?
And are these programmable buttons battery charged and do they exist wired?
What i need according to what i think is:
1x HUB
1x Programmable button switch
5x smart switches for each light
Thanks to however can aid me or push me in the right direction.
