Touch switches are smart home parts that care not only about comfort, but also about the aesthetic appearance of the appliances. For example, Broadlink and Livolo switches have glass panels that look modern and unusual. They turn on even from the slightest touch and are absolutely silent.
PECULIARITIES OF USING TOUCH SWITCHES
To begin with, it is worthwhile to understand the structure of switches. Devices consist of several blocks:
- sensor, hiding under the front panel;
- a power unit that powers the entire device and is responsible for switching the power supply circuit for the light bulb;
- a radio unit that is responsible for receiving commands.
The parts of the switch can be detached from each other and placed in different locations if necessary. The parts can also be easily swapped if one fails.
WHAT MAKES SMART SWITCHES SO GOOD
Use touch switches to control LED lights and ribbons, energy-saving lamps and incandescent lamps. Such switches allow you to adjust the brightness of the light. They can also be connected to roller blinds and electronic paintings.
ADVANTAGES OF BUYING A TOUCH SWITCH
For all their high technology and belonging to the “smart technology”, such switches are quite easy to install and operate. They also look very modern.
A touch switch can be controlled with a special remote control at a distance. You can be far away from the device, but at the same time turn on and off the light, adjust its intensity.
Installing such devices is very simple. They work from a single wire. They can easily be placed in the existing mounting boxes in the place where there used to be outdated mechanical switches. In this case, you do not need to change the wiring in the house.
“Smart switches” are an intensively developing technique. Already now such devices are available in different designs, including futuristic. Fittings are available in different colors, and together with it, the buyer acquires all the necessary layout options: the actual switch, socket, low-current elements.
