Quinetic Wireless Switch & Built in-line Receiver - What Happens when the Power goes OFF & Unpairing
Переглядів 42,209
День томуWhat happens to my paired Quinetic wireless switches that use kinetic energy when the power goes OFF..?
How to unpair Quinetic wireless switches that use kinetic energy...
Is using kinetic switches the future as they don’t need wiring or batteries to power them. In my previous video I replace a one gang one way switch with a Quinetic Wireless in-line receiver then add other kinetic switches to control the light (link below). This a fast way of converting a wired one way switch to be controlled from more than one switch with out the need to run cables, lift floorboards or chase walls. I showed in a few minutes how to pair Quinetic kinetic switches so you have 2 way and 2 way and intermediate switching of a light.
The pairing process of other kinetic switches is very easy and takes only a few seconds to do.

Hi Gaz, If during a rewire of the house, can you legally replace all the light switches with this new way giving you the flexibility to put the switch/switches wherever suites or do regulations say the original fixed wiring always has to stay in place.
@drewmarshammarsham2955 2 роки тому
Does it come in a 2 way version, ie one that could replace an exiting two way switch and then add others as intermediate switches

When power is restored, does the light return to its previous state? ie it comes on if it was on or stays off if it was off?

In electronics terms, the pairing is stored in “Non Volatile” memory, which means it stays in memory even when power is dissconected

What if a neighbour has the same system, would that interfere with your switches? Thank you for all your very informative videos.
@archie8944 2 роки тому
I was thinking of the same question. What if the other room has the same set of switches would that interfere with the other set of switch? Will the two sets of switches pair differently? If this topic can be brought up and it happens to pair defferently, im buying this switch right away. I hope you shed a light on this and post it in your next video. Thank you now for the previus informative video and thank you in advance for your next video.
@marcusshipley3935 2 роки тому
I would say no, because the neighbours set up would already be paired and set up (ie, closed to other devices). However if in the extremrly unlikely circumstances that you and your neighbour happened to be setting up switches at the exact same moment in time then yes it's possible.

@liamtheurchin5569 4 місяці тому
Ah but what happens when there is a power cut and the light was off. Does it remain off when the power comes back on. I only ask because our touch lamps come on when the power comes back on even if they were previously off. This means when we are away on holiday we have to unplug these incase of a power cycle and they come on and stay on for a week when we're not there.

Why not just have the Module inside a Bulb Socket Assembly, further reducing the cost of wiring ? Can a slave switch also act as a master for pairing? The need of the master switch for un-paring only would be logical.

Does anyone know how the receiver is deriving its power, without a Neutral - my only conclusion is there must be a small current drawn through the load when it is off?
@janisjersovs7525 2 роки тому
I assume it does, hence the required more than 3w light fitting in order to operate.

Very Interesting - I wonder if the light is off - you have a power failure - does the light come on when power is restored? Or does it remember it's last state?

It remember it's last state. The data is stored in non volatile memory in the receiver.

@marcusshipley3935 2 роки тому
@@charlesrichards5389 why is that? Surely if there was a momentary power cut and the light was on, once power was restored I think it would be infinitely much safer to return to being on. For example if you were traversing stairs?!
@charlesrichards5389 2 роки тому
@@marcusshipley3935 You're talking about visual safety when the mains go down momentarily. I'm talking about electrical safety within the house. If you had a short due to a water leak, rodent chewed a wire, etc., you could have a fire hazard if the power automatically flowed when it's restored. If you don't want to be caught on the stairs during a power outage (regardless of duration), get battery-powered automatic emergency lights for such locations.
@marcusshipley3935 2 роки тому
@@charlesrichards5389 I see your point but surely its exactly the same as if the lightswitch was on when the interruption in supply and/or fault occurred?! If there's a short or a water leak compromising the electrical installation or part of it, then, a competent person ie, an Electrician is required to make safe regardless of whether a light switch is on or off?!

How does that work? If you pair it with two separate light circuits, will it just flip state of both lights? What if one light is on and the other is off?
@mauriceodriscoll9990 2 роки тому
@@andycarter9845 I was thinking more in using it for 2 or more outdoor lights but on 2 or more feeds where you dont want to run wiring outside the building linking them. That way you and cut down on the circuit of wires but have one switch to opperate them.
