groovem Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Has anyone come across any way to control lights using a timer that gets its signal from a WiFi or Bluetooth enabled control box etc? I was thinking about something compatible with Apple Homekit or the Google equivalent that you can set using your smartphone. The problem is that I have to control some outdoor lighting on a large property that are on different circuits and switches, but we want all the lights to come on at the same time. I was thinking of something that connects to the above systems kind of like a relay that is controlled by a central source but continues to use the local AC circuits. Unfortunately running new cabling is not an option, but there is good network coverage at the property. I just am not familiar with any brands that could achieve this sort of function. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
