Question about smart/wireless switches.

    So, our kitchen has 3 ceiling lights on a 3-prone switch next to the kitchen entrance door, and another set of lights under the press on a switch closer to them.

    I would love to have a "master" wall switch next to the kitchen entrance with all 4, but since re-wiring is not an option, I thought this might be possible with smart switch or something like that? Maybe have a wireless device installed in the press lights switch too, controlled by the master? Maybe I'm talking nonsense, but you're the experts so here we go :D

    If you replace all bulbs with Phillips Hue bulbs and get a dimmer switch, you can program it to give you 4 switches. This would functionally replace the two switches you currently have.

    That would be an option, however the press lights are not a universal type.

    Have you a picture or the model type?

    Plenty of wireless control options for cabinet lighting now. You could use a switch, your phone or voice control with Echo/GH etc to control.

    It's the Integrated LED built-in light from Nobilia.
