Wi-Fi light switch

Phil.x · 2018-01-08 11:51:16

I'm looking to get a Wi-Fi light switch that will be in my brick shed that will switch on garden lights or a wall light that I can control from my phone. Any suggestions?

Either Xiaomi, which isn't actually wifi, you will also need their hub or maybe a Sonoff inline switch (not actually a wall switch).

Maybe LightwaveRF if money not an obstacle, though again not wifi and requires an expensive hub.

Actually now that I think of it, I don't think their is a straight wifi switch available in the UK/Ireland market. The lack of Neutral at light switches really hurts the market here.
