The problem with this smarthome stuff is the big companies like Google want to wall you into their ecosystem. Then they change their mind and your things turn into bricks and your home becomes a dumb home, or worse if you can’t control all those smart lightbulbs and thermostats the old fashioned way.

And Laserdisc and DVD were wrong. And probably BluRay is wrong, too. Because streaming. But probably that’s also wrong, just not sure what the new right thing will be.

And I have a shop air control that is probably 50’ away from the same spot. Like to just have those 4 switches remoted up to the same area as all the light switches are. Just not familiar with the state of the art.

I have a location in my house that I control two separate circuits/lights with one switch. There are tons of difference ways to set this stuff up. -Jason On Wed, Jun 12, 2019 at 10:28 AM <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: I have several switches in my shop that I would like to move dozens of feet but I am too lazy to do so. Is X10 still a thing? Anyone know of a good method to RF remote a normal light switch or power line carrier control it? -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com _____ -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
