In homes, offices, manufacturing, and basically anywhere, circuit breakers with remote control. First of all, we are talking about lighting control. The advantage of this approach is undeniable, because personal comfort is very important for a modern person, no matter how cynical it sounds.
Switches with remote control over the radio channel, using an IR remote control, with a motion sensor, voice command or just from a smartphone - all this is available today and is very wide. A person no longer needs to approach the switch whenever it is necessary to turn the light on or off, it is not necessary to reach for the button on the wall, it is enough to send a signal remotely. And all that is needed for happiness is just to add a switch with a remote control to the lighting circuit. It is about such switches that will be discussed in this article, we will consider several models.
First, let's pay attention to the BM8049M from Master Kit. This switch is interesting in that it allows a person to literally use the remote control from the TV to control the power supply to the lamps, turn them on and off. Any IR remote control will do. It is enough to include the unit in the open circuit of the lighting device, say a chandelier or a night lamp, and set a specific button on the remote control from the TV or player, which is usually not used, to control.
The unit itself is powered by a 220 volt network, and when it is first plugged into the network, a person is given 10 seconds to set a control button. After that, it will be possible to control the lighting without getting up from the couch: if you need to turn off / on the light, he pointed the remote control at the unit and pressed the button, then it’s up to smart automation.
The response range in the line of sight reaches 15 meters (it works only in the absence of opaque obstacles in the signal path between the IR remote control and the unit itself). If you forget to turn off the light, then after 10-14 hours the BM8049M will automatically turn off the light. Maximum load - 1500 watts. To program and reprogram the operating button, you will need to remove power directly from the unit, which is not a problem if automatic devices are installed in the switchboard.
The WK-327 remote control switch is equipped with its own remote control. The remote control is no longer in the infrared, but at a radio frequency of 433.92 MHz. A radio receiver is located on the push-button switch, capable of receiving a signal at a distance of up to 80 meters, unless of course there are large shielding metal barriers in the signal path between the remote control and the switch.
This key module can be used both as a conventional switch and as a remote switch. Moreover, two channels are available for load control. Each channel is capable of switching up to 600 watts of active load (incandescent lamps), or up to 300 watts of energy-saving lamps. That is, the maximum switched power is 1200 watts of purely active load at 220 volts.
The circuit-breaker electronics does not require special power supply; it is enough to connect the lighting circuits, as well as bring the phase and zero to the corresponding connectors on the circuit-breaker. The remote control is powered by its own battery and is precisely tuned to this unit.
Why is this solution convenient? Unlike the IR remote control, the radio remote control works even through obstacles, because radio waves easily penetrate most of them (for example, through home furnishings and even through partitions). In addition, since the light now has its own remote control, such a remote control can always lie in the same place at hand, for example, on a shelf in the hallway or near the bed.
There are two channels, therefore, if desired, a person will be able to turn off a large light and turn on the evening illumination or vice versa. And the presence of classic buttons directly on the wall makes the lighting control more flexible - if it is convenient to take the remote control, the person controls it from the remote control, but if it stands near the button on the wall, it presses the button. And there is no need to make several switches in different parts of the apartment or house, especially if the area is large, not to mention several floors.
Finally, what could be more convenient for an active user of a smartphone or tablet than Wi-Fi lighting control? Having a smartphone on IOS or Android, a person will be able to control lighting from anywhere in the room, because a load of up to 10 amperes will be able to switch Sonoff Wi-Fi relays.
There is only one function button on the device’s casing, designed both for synchronization with a wireless network and for direct control, so that after a single set-up, a person would not have to worry more about whether the switch will work or not. A short press of a button is a function of a simple push-button switch, a long press is a pairing via Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11 b / g / n).
The eWeLink program requires the user only to register, after which the Sonoff device can be added and managed using a smartphone, not only at home or in the office, but everywhere where there is Internet access. The device has small dimensions, is easily installed and camouflaged: in a niche, behind the ceiling, at the base of the chandelier, etc. The long-term load capacity of the switch is up to 1500 watts.
By the way, with Sonoff it is possible to control lighting not only by turning it on and off, but also by timers, of which up to 8 are available, and the user can check the status of the switch at any time through the application.

Hello!
The thought settled in my head to install touch-sensitive light switches in the apartment. I delayed this venture for a long time, but finally decided and acquired one such device.
I want to tell about him.
The thing is new to me, I have never seen or used it from any of my friends. Inspired by reviews and reviews of people from the Internet. It was decided to purchase one copy for the so-called test. The location of one of the switches (I was about to replace it) in my apartment does not lend itself to any logic and has nothing to do with convenient use. Therefore, the ability to control a new switch from the remote for me was a fat plus.
And here is the package with the device on my table. 
Inside a small box with the designation of the switch configuration. From the manufacturer's information, only the inscription Made in China. 
The contents of the box are fully consistent with the list on the site. It includes: the switch itself, a remote control, an element plugged into an electrical circuit (optional) and deployment instructions in English and Chinese. 
Specifications:
Rated Voltage: AC 110-240
Maximum load: 3-300W, 800W total
Operating Temperature: -20 ° C ~ 70 ° C
Relative humidity: 10% ~ 93% (non-condensing)
Operating frequency: 50 / 60Hz
Power consumption: 0.02W
The number of inclusions: 100,000 times
This switch works with one consumer, there are also versions for working with two and three. (I mean the connection lines).
Appearance such as I expected, looking at the photos on the store website. The workmanship is pretty decent, everything is assembled evenly and neatly. 
The main dimensions of the device (in mm).
With a cursory glance, he looked into the instructions and proceeded to dismantle the old switch. But it was not so simple. The recess in the wall turned out to be gouged and the mounting box also required replacement. As a result, collected, for now, everything was as it was. And in order to satisfy his interest, he connected the switch to a table lamp. There were no difficulties. The switch works from the slightest touch to the area where the control LED is lit, switching occurs completely silently. I noticed that the sensitivity of the sensor is enough to trigger when the finger is at a distance of about 3-4 mm from the switch. By the way, the brightness of the LED (which shines when turned off) is exactly the same to see the location of the switch in the dark. 
Disassembly
We remove the decorative cover, which is a plexiglass plate glued to a plastic frame. 
The white area is that sensitive element that responds to touch. Next, remove the top board with the sensor. It is connected to the bottom through the "block" of contacts. 
Separate photos. 
The bottom board is attached to the base of the switch with three screws. Turn off and take out. 
Back view. 
I'm not good at electronics, so detailed description I can’t give. As I understand it, the aluminum plate is designed to remove heat and screwed to the element that is responsible for switching. I can’t measure the temperature of the plate and other elements, but after 2 hours of operation, under a 60W incandescent lamp, nothing was heated.
That's what is under the plate itself. 
Remote control.
The switch is equipped with a remote control operating at a frequency of 433 MHz. Remote control design in the form of a keychain from a moped alarm. 
Assembled quite well. The remote control has four programmable buttons that, in order to avoid accidental pressing, are closed by a curtain, although they are already tight enough to accidentally press. During pressing, the blue LED lights up. Most of the devices of this type are equipped with such remotes (as I understand it, in order to reduce their cost), and for some you need to buy separately. It is possible to purchase a more "home" remote control.
Having unscrewed 3 self-tapping screws, the remote control is decomposed into 3 parts, the chrome insert is made of metal. 
The power comes from a 27A type battery. 
.
Pleasantly surprised by the range of the remote control. In the apartment he worked from anywhere, which is enough for me. I decided to go outside to test the range (I live on the second floor), moving away from the house I continued to turn on and off, everything worked at a distance of about 50 m (then the window disappeared from the view around the corner). I think this range will be used in the private sector.
Learning the buttons on the remote is quite simple. The buttons can be configured for three modes of operation:
1. Turn on / off,
2. Only enable
3. Only turn off.
To set the initial position of the switch - off. We touch the sensor and wait for a single sound signal, then press the desired button on the remote control, hear the control sound signal and you're done - the button is set to the first mode of operation. For clarity, I made a video in which you can see the button settings for different modes.
I note that I used the switch only with an incandescent lamp and there are no problems when working with it. I read that when connecting some housekeepers, false positives sometimes occur. For this, the manufacturer sets the circuit breaker with such an element (noise suppression capacitor)
which connects to the circuit according to the instructions
and designed to eliminate the problem of false positives.
In general, I liked the switch, now I plan to buy another one of the same only on 2 lines, and maybe some more aesthetic remote control.
That's all. Thanks to all. I hope the review is useful to someone. I plan to buy +27 Add to favorites Review liked +23 +50
Take on the existing experience did not work. A market review of such systems showed that there are solutions only for incandescent lamps. And if you use energy-saving lamps in the house, then the available options will not work. An attempt to adapt them also did not lead to anything. It remains only to come up with a suitable solution.
In general, after thinking and searching, I settled on the MP325M system from Master Kit.
Here is what was bought to solve the problem:
MP325M set,
- power supply PW1245,
- optional MP325M transmitter / transmitter,
- and in the construction market a one-button switch without fixing was purchased.
Since the set consists of a receiver and a transmitter, the set contains two transmitters. This turned out, by the way, because to solve our problem it was necessary just two transmitters.
Actually, what we are doing: for starters, it is desirable to de-energize the part of the circuit where we will perform the modification.
First of all, we take out the standard switch and connect the two standard wires together, insulating them with PVC tape.
Then we take one of the transmitters, for the MP325M module, and disassemble it. In parallel, one of the control buttons solders two pieces of wire. We clean the resulting conclusions and connect to the contacts of the switch.
If desired, the transmitter’s handkerchief can also be wrapped with a single layer of PVC tape.
Then go to the point of connection of the lamp or chandelier.
We connect the modules according to the diagram below.
If the apartment has a suspended ceiling, the modules can be hidden in the space between the ceilings. If this is not possible, then you can try to install a connection lamp in a niche, having previously insulated the receiver module and the power source with PVC insulating tape.
If the electricity is turned off when the light is on, then when it is supplied, the chandelier will be in the off state, this is a plus in the safety of our automatic control.
Well, that’s all, you can use it.
Now you can independently control the lighting from the switch and the wireless remote control. If after a couple of years the switch stops working, do not panic, just replace the transmitter battery. Transmitters can be powered from element 27A or 23A, which can be freely purchased at any supermarket. An additional channel can be used as a surprise for guests, including additional lighting, such as the starry sky.
By the way, you can use both channels of the MP325M module. But for this it is necessary to use a two-button switch without locking. And the switch itself may need to be finalized by disconnecting the common bus to enable the connection of the second button of the MP325 remote control / transmitter. If necessary, a free relay can be used to control the receiver by connecting the COM and NC contacts parallel to the reset and add buttons with the remote control.
I hope this solution will be interesting and useful. Perhaps someone will want to not only repeat, but also improve))
The perfect design of the premises is manifested in the details. The light switches with remote control purchased in the online store website are the element that adds elegance to the interior and significantly simplifies the process of controlling lighting in a home or office.
