OK since I've been going on about them I thought I share my lightwaverf experience.
I'll fix my spelling gradually
You need a hub @ 100 euro .
Function : excellent never fell over once. Needs internet to work even if you are at home. Has a proprietary link to nest each system can be aware of the home and away status of the other and this can be a trigger ( dont have a nest)
After that you can buy
Inline socket units pack of three and a remote control ( useful for other things too)
@40 euro 3kw each so 13 amp there abouts for 3
Function: excellent easy to pair, great for behind the TV unit and hidden places. On off control, on the app and the remote. Great value unbeatable in the market.
Inline dimming sockets pack of three and a remote control. @ 55 euro. These look like the above but have dimming and on off control 250W of dimming.
Function: I don't know don't have them. But good for freestanding lamps with dimmable units, again super value to add three dimming lights to the app and a remote control.
Twin sockets.@ 40 euro each , a range of colours available I couldn't get a great match to brushed stainless steel. Required deep back box.
Function: excellent each socket is controlled separately so twin as better value than singles
500 Watt inline relay, I used this to open my electric gate. Parallel connection across the push to make switch and requires 220V @ 30 euro.
Function: excellent i use it to hold the gate open and I made an event ( explained below) to open then close . It can be set up as " open stop Close " ( for blinds) "open close" for gates etc for 500 watts mains or bolt free and finally as a 500w inline dimmer. This unit actually improved the opinions on my gate by adding latched open hold to it. If I lose my zapper my phone will work. The remote for the sockets ( it has about 25 select options) can be paired too.
Three way 3kw combined relay
@50 euro. 220 V in and three individually controlled outputs. Function: excellent i use this for basic on off control . In my set up each output is a flood light on my house 1) front 2) side 3) back. It's off atm as I'm changing the fittings, again great value for three outputs online. Again socket remote can on off each output
3KW inline timed relay
@35 euro now 40. Power in and timed power out, has a dial that you set to the times 2 sec 30 sec , 2 Min , 5 min, 10 min, 2 hrs 4 hrs 8 hrs . Resistive load Function: Very good. I use it as an immersion timer. I can turn it on from the app. Missing the 1 hr time for some reason. I use the 2 hr , I might be able to to get 1 hr by making an event with a delay. Bath or sink selection lives on the old switch , this simply break the juice into the immersion switch. Possibly i got the wrong switch for the immersion as need to use the app or set app timers etc. But its never always on. I've it set to 2 hours , again socket remote can be used for switching alongside the app. With the boost button this can be used manually even if the internet connection is down. Socket remote can call It in too.
3KW electric switch
@70 euro. Resistive load appears in heating part of the app.
Function: Don't have one. Has a boost button good for panel heaters and immersion, better for immersion as it has a boost button. But the inline unit has a hardware timer ,I would would have to make an event to turn it on , delay, Off
One gang light switch
@30 Euro, needs to have live and neutral at the switch, difficult to get if you don't have it .I use it to switch a whole circuit is lights .
Function: Excellent pops the lights into the app and controlled at the switch too, range of colours available, lovely design nice neon indicators on the switches good value to switch regular lamps on and off . None of this messing with leaving the switch on for operation etc.
One and Two gang dimmers switches
@45 and 55 euro , as above but with 250 watts of dimming on board again Irish drawback needs 220 V permanent supply at the switch Function: Don't know just got them not installed. But a great way to add dimming to the house very cost-effective for dimming lots of spot lights. They look great , good colour range. Replacement lamps only 5 euro.
Energy Meter
@30 euro it's clamped to my Meter :
Function: works very well, nice gui. Recently they added a history online for my energy usage, great added value
Thermostat: this is wireless it connects to the hub and it connects to the boiler switche. Looks OK lasts ages on battery. Loads of times 6 per day , and I think it has a 2week cycle. Plus it has home and away status too. You set the temp alone for the heating temp. This is the only thing controlling the on off control. If you change the temp on it it will update the app/ cloud setting. When you change on the app it changes on the thermostat. It a bit had to set and respond sometimes. Function: good the timers always work but to turn on the heating from the app you need to dial the temp up on the app. That can take 5 goes sometimes, works every time when you use the buttons on the thermostat . This does not need the hub or the internet to work so you keep the heating when the internet connection drops. It does not and won't in the future give you a soft copy of the boost button on the app. There is a boost button on the thermostat. Great calendar in the app
Boiler switch:
@65 this only pairs to a thermostat, it has an on off button for the boiler. It has the same boost button as the thermostat press it once for one hours. Twice for 2 and three times for 3 hrs. Function: excellent and this is fine easy to wire all it is an on off switch and a boost button described above, works every time.
TRVs
@65 these all have their own slot in the app and appear exactly like the thermostat except they are always below it and they can't call the heating in anymore. Fitting them can be hard . TBH you need it to fit first time, the little bag of collars and spacers is for the bin. They are powerful the myson TRVs are interchangeable, on ones that didn't fit I had to drain down the system and fit myson TRVs .
Once on they work ok , correct to about +/- 2 degrees. Were terribly loud and ran a calibration every night. Mine were recalled new firmware much quieter and the pair first time but. So the kit does get fixed they are good to deal with IMO. Still a bit noisy. I've six with two on the way. They have s 2 degree boost for one hour button on the TRV
Door contact ,
@15, like the electric boiler switch you pair it to a TRV.
Function: very good, shuts the rad TRV off if the door or window is open . A bit big.
250 W inline dimmer
@50 euro. Has hardware timers on them too. Here you would need to leave the light switch on , or use it as an override.
Function: Excellent: pop one of these in before the first light on a cct and you can dim all the fittings. Works well with recessed lights as you can pop a fitting out and stick this before the first fittings leave it above the ceiling. I don't have one yet.
5 button mood selection and switch: mines sitting in London , will back fill when I get it.
I'll add operations and all pictures tomorrow.
