Wireless lighting control system shall consist several parts,Wireless Smart Home Lighting Control For Home Lighting Automation Articles the wireless signal transmitter, the dimmer switch with signal receiver integrated, and the lamps connected to the output of dimmer switch. The transmitter is responsible for sending signal, the dimmer switch receives it and converts it to dimming signal such as PWM, then the dimmer switch outputs dimming signal to the connected lamps.

 

Various wireless signal types are available in the market, and they have their own advantages. Traditional one is IR, which is cheap and reliable solution, but transmission distance and penetration is not quite far. RF is now a great solution to solve this problem, and it can transmit as far as 30 meters indoor with good penetration. Plus different frequencies are optional to avoid interference from other RF systems, the common frequencies are 2.4GHz, 434MHz and 868MHz etc. With RF signal, the transmitter can control the dimmer switch from anywhere of your house.

 

A more intelligent solution is WiFi signal, which means home lighting control from a smart phone or mobile devices via a lighting control APP. The dimmer switch can integrate a WiFi signal receiver which is used to receive signal from the smart phone, then it converts the signal to dimming signal such as PWM, Phase-cut or else and outputs to the connected lights. Also the dimmer switch can be configured to connect to your home network and controlled from Ethernet.

 

With WiFi controller, you can really achieve home lighting automation from APP interface. You can set up as many rooms as you want to control them separately. And set up events for different rooms at different times with different dynamic or static lighting effects for your house. The events will be triggered automatically at the time set. For example, you can set up a brightness level for dinning room at dinner time, then when you have dinner, the brightness level will automatically change to the set level. Or you can set up a dynamic color changing mode for a party in Sunday, it's just so simple.
