I'll do a write up with photos when I install it if there is anything that ends up needing more detail than the included instructions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use a proper crimp connector like a butt splice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I linked them to my Google account so now I can tell my phone to switch whatever light on to whatever brightness or colour. You can also set them to turn on and off at various times, the same as setting your alarm. Kind of expensive at $10 each but beats getting off the couch at movie time or even getting into bed. Can set them real low too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Andrew Gold Donating Members 2,035 Member For: 9y 7m Gender: Male Location: Canberra ACT Posted 07/02/24 08:21 AM Share Posted 07/02/24 08:21 AM Yeah I've got a few. I find in some rooms they are great (eg lounge for dimming, bedroom for turning off lights when in bed, etc) but some rooms like passageways it is more convenient to flick a switch as you walk past.I have a few things where lights look great (downlights in some glass front cupboards, LED strip inside the entertainment unit) that you would never bother turning on. So have them all linked and set on a routine to come on an hour before sunset. Worst thing is when there is a very quick power outage at 3am and all the lights go into setup mode and start flashing!

Pretty sure I'll throw them all in the bin if that happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
