Home automation using traditional switches

Post by Jordy »

I am looking at the best way to combine my traditional light switches (Berker) to X10 or klikaanklikuit.
I installed all the switches in the past 5 years, so everything is pretty new.

I am aware of the Marmitek micro modules, but at a price of 30 euros/pc it's gonna be quite an expensive 'hobby'
The Chinese micro modules (f.e. from Tianjin Taiyito Technology) are quite large (46x46x23mm).

I am planning to buy an RFXcom transmitter / receiver, with a domotiga server.
I have already some klikaanklikuit light modules, and ordered a home automation module for my alarm system (HomeSafety).

If i have to replace the traditional switches with something that matches the Berker line, thats also ok.

The full range of KlikAanKlikUit (Gamma) can be controlled by the RFXCOM transmitter.

It is expected that the RFXmitter is also supported by DomotiGa very soon. (ask the developer of DomotiGa). At that moment HomeEasy EU (Karwei/www.kijkshop.nl) can be controlled too.

DomotiGa version 0.1.194 contains basic support for RFXmitter.
Needs some testing, but expect to get fast bug fixes if needed.
