Using a standard switch with HE304 On/Off Relay Switch 1000w
Posted: Sat Jan 25, 2014 10:05 am
Hello,
First off I would like to thank the community for the valuable resources available.
I am new to home automation in general and I searched the forum for a topic similar to mine but could not find any, my apologies if that topic existed and I did not notice it.
I have a light fixture which only operates on On/Off no dimming, so I thought the best option available to control it, is the “HE304 - On/Off Relay Switch 1000w”, however I want to still be able to control the fixture using a standard On/Off switch, is that even possible, and if possible would the switch control the relay (i.e. when switch is off, I would not be able to control the relay) or vice versa ?! what I eventually want is to be able to control the fixture from the link and as well from the standard switch.
Also I noticed in the manual for the HE304 that it mentioned "Earth Sleeving must be used", when I checked the mains power in my apartment I found only two wires, would that mean I can not use the HE304 in the first place ?!
My last question is regarding fluorescent light, is the HE304 the right module to control a fluorescent light ?!
Sorry for bugging you with all these questions
.
Thank you so much in advance
