This Starter Kit includes the LP2 model of the Link Plus which is not backward compatible with Lightwave's first-generation Connect Series devices. Instead of needing a slave dimmer, can do 2 way or even 3 way dimming which means you can dim the same lighting circuit from 2 or more switches (or locations from the room). The most common example of this type of switching would be on a staircase, where the user would have a switch at the bottom of the stairs and a switch at the top, both operating the lights over the staircase. We reached out to Lightwave and asked them if they would like to collaborate on this project, and it turns out they loved our idea, plus my requirements were all possible.

This setup used a Lightwave Link Plus and two gang dimmers to control the overhead light, the left-hand wall light and the right-hand wall light. With 2 way communication, the App always knows if a device has been manually activated or deactivated. With a Link Plus hub and a Smart Dimmer, this starter kit serves as a perfect introduction to smart home control and the Lightwave system. A young family with previous experience of restoring an old cottage, stumbled upon the opportunity to take an unloved concrete shell and turn it in a contemporary living space.For a south-facing property, automate your blinds to come down in the heat of the day to keep your bedroom nice and cool for those summer nights.

The dimmers work well and i programmed a light switch in my daughters bedroom to automatic switch off at 8.In this case study, we delve into the details behind this remarkable transformation made possible through Lightwave technology. Two way communication allows you to instantly see the state of each Smart Dimmer, from wherever you are. Smart Series (formally Lightwave Gen2) products now have 2 way communication this means that the App always knows if a device has been activated or deactivated.
