Stopped watching when you put phase on blue wire. Doing this in a "training" video? Because being lazy to use proper wires? OMG! This thing is illegal in many countries and electricians who do this can lose their license.

@@risharehraje793 What are you talking about? Wire is wire and the color of cladding means nothing. There are no requirements to use a specific colored wire for a specific purpose as long as they are identified with colored tape or labels. I don’t know why people like you have been de-educated. It{s as if your brain is trained prioritize things in the opposite direction of common sense. You type of people just want to say things; it doesn’t matter if you know what you’re saying or not. You’re so desperate to attack this video that you pick something utterly preposterous such as the color of cladding around the wire. I just don’t get it why are people so dumb? I bet you would be horrified to know that I ran 12/3 throughout my house, whether I needed 220 or not. I even ran it for 15 amp circuits. Now you had better go and sit down and take a few deep breath‘s because I know you are about to explode.

Just installed this to control my upstairs light from downstairs as I couldn’t get my light switch to switch on from down to up. Saved me calling out a sparky. Worked a treat.

I've seen these on other channels before, not really considered them but am now seeing how they'd save me a lot of redecorating!

I am thinking of getting some of these switches, they look nice and do have an advantage over wired switches especially in rented homes , as you can’t even hang a picture on the wall without the landlords permission, and wren you move you just take the switches with you and put the old one back in . 👍 Great video Gaz as always 👍👍❤️

Wonderful ideas for this system, thanks for bringing light to it, I had not heard anything about this as of end of 2021.

Imagine a loft conversion where the two way light switches were located (a) halfway up the stairs and (b) on the wall facing, & six feet away from, the top of the stairs.... that was the situation I wanted to correct. 24 hours ago I watched your video, then ordered a receiver switch QURS1W to replace the existing (a = halfway) switch, plus two QUWS1W = one each for the newel posts top & bottom of the flight. They arrived from TLC today and an hour later we have full and sensible control of our stair lighting for the first time..... A MASSIVE THANK YOU and thumbs up!!👍👍👍

Wow this is the best application of RFID i have ever seen ? Well done mate !

would be good if the receiver was fitted into the ceiling rose, with a pairing button on it. Then no need for any switches to be hardwired.

TWO YEARS ON REVIEW - I have had a range of wireless switch products from Quinetic such as inlines tucked into my ceiling for downlighters. Everything is still working as it should with the exception of the 13A socket adaptors (non wifi). Out of the 7 originally purchased I have had to replace 4 under warranty. They are temperamental too - loosing power to the socket and re-energising in quick succession completely confuses them. Probably our biggest fault with the 13A socket switches is the high pitch squeel they emit when not turned on. All reports to the manufacturer were dismissed and simply requested that I continue to exchange these at a TLC branch. Shame as the other products are spot on. Forgot to add - great content, thanks GSH

@petermichaelgreen

The other concern with any product that doesn't need a neutral is compatibility. The receiver is presumably powered by allowing a small current to leak through the load when off which can cause problems with LED lighting.

Thats an amazing idea.. how much easier is this.. another amazing video 👍🏽👌🏾

This is amazing 🤩 👍 thanks for the info 🙏🏽Mate !

I'm not an electrician, not planning on being one and not doing any work...so not sure why I'm here, but what a great video - this guy's got a great presentation style. Clear and succint. Actually, I say I'm not doing any work - I'm doing a new build next year and one of the dilemmas is in future proofing the wires. In my last two homes I used Lutron-style systems, both of which became obsolete/superceded. The future is likely wireless (Lora, Zigbee, BLE etc.) so I'm thinking that L&N wiring to all sockets is likely to provide the best future proofing as many devices do need power. Kinetic switches; not sure I like that mechanism...looks a bit flimsy and I'd want steel plates (maybe that's an option). Oh, 1998 called and wants their CFL bulb back :-)

Great product saves alot of time and hassle 😁👍

So, without any explanation of the method of operation of the 'kinetic switch' - We assume a piezo crystal is energised by the kinetic action of physically pressing the switch button, which in turn provides enough current to perhaps charge a capacitor which in turn, acts as a temporary current source for the RFI transmitter (?) Ingenious.

I love those kinetic switches no battery required! No neutral required. It's like some sort of Voodoo Black Magic 😂. I Wanted to make something like this when I was a kid just didn't have the knowledge. I hope the switches don't were out quickly.

Absolutely brilliant!

As someone wh swapped all the doors in my house to save space so that they open twoards the wall, I have blocked direct access to my light switches, being a lazy git I never changed them, these are a game changer!!

My neighbour had a new door bell fitted with one that uses this technology. We live very close to the seafront and the salt air corrodes traditional bell push contacts in no time. This system of course has no electrical contacts to corrode away.

This is magical! I've delt with so many clients trying to add switching into existing structures and have had to resort to cutting walls or do surface trunking (which I really don't like). This is a game changer! Question: If you want to withdraw one of the paired switches from the mechanism, what do you do?

I have had this system for decades now. It is really very flexible. I went with what Home Easy was making back then (defunct now). It all still works. We can switch outside lights on from our bedroom. I used their system to put a new light in the bathroom. The lighting module in the light fitting does not require any wiring from the light to any switch. This allowed me to put the light switch in the bathroom rather than the usual position outside the bathroom door. The remote kept in in our car will switch on the driveway lights at night. Signal controlled lighting should be the new norm. It is so much safer because there is no need for live/mains wiring to a switch.

@Horizon301.

What sort of range does it get for outside lights. My driveway lights will end up being 20 metres or so from my house and I figured these are the best solution rather than wiring it back with a traditional switch

Beautiful. 😍

Only big problem I have found with these is if you link multiple receivers that are on different circuits. (I.e. lighting through staircase where original wiring is separated by floor) to be controlled via one switch that if an MCB trips the driver does not remember the position it was in, in relation to the switch so it can come out of sync with the other lights very easily. Meaning you have to turn off every circuit relating to all drivers the switch is controlling, then turn them all back on to have all the lights coming on and off in sync. Apart from that great bit of kit, lifetime could do with some work in comparison to other ranges out there but compatibility with existing switches/grid switches is very handy.

Sure wish I had you for a teacher when I was in school (I like your passion and teaching method). Of course, then we would be at a disadvantage - I'd have to get used to your accent (I'm in the U.S.A.) and you would have to get used to our systems and gazillion pages of of codes.

This is fantastic! Can I adapt an existing 2-way switch to add intermediate switches? Also, for decorative purposes, the existing switch is brass. Can we get these in brass? Any idea who stocks them? I can see great applications for these.

This is magic. Now if only can be remote and pair with Alexa or Google so you have remote voice control as well as manual. I'm liking as many of this type requires neutral line. Which is impossible in older buildings without completely rewiring.

I would like to reinforce what Teslacoiler said. It is critical to differentiate the receiver from the transmitter. Quinetic themselves are not very clear in some of their material. Even in this excellent video, when the gridswitch compatible version was shown it was not clear if it is a receiver or a transmitter. My local supplier (who claims to be a Quinetic specialist) said with emphasis that there is NO gridswitch compatible receiver, only a transmitter. Any comments welcome!
