1x Power, 2x Switch - what Xanura module to use?

Post by DJF3 »

Hi,

I have the following device in my house. It's one outlet with:
- 1x 220v
- 2x switch for lights

Image

Goal: automatically switch both light switches. I don't want to do anything with the 220v outlet.

Question: what Xanura module (or any other brand) could I use to control the 2 light switches?


Thanks!
DJ

1.
Place behind the switch a SAIX at least the first light can be controlled by the internal relais of this module. The SAIX12 module has a second input and will send an X10 command on/off triggered by the switch .... so place a second actor (SAIX12) near the second light.

2.
Our make in the wall a second built in box (inbouwdoos) and place the second SAIX12 inside.

3.
Use an IMX10 module - use the potential free switches and this module will send X10 on/off signals ..... you may even consider to add two extra switches up to four inputs, place near each light a SAIX12 actor.

Thanks Henk... 2 SAIX12's, that's nearly 200 for two lights.

I found another alternative. Create an extra 'inbouw doos' for the power outlet, and use an S10 2-button 3-wire wallswitch (approx 54) http://www.elekhomica.nl/product_info.p ... cts_id=640

That should work too, right?

DJ,

I've also had one of those outlet/switch combo's. Very little space behind it, is what i can remember. S10-modules are a bit thicker! So when every mm counts... or replace it with one without the outlet, that will give you some more room.
