How do I control multiple lights with one switch?
You can do this light switch wiring in one of two ways. The most common is to daisy-chain the light fixtures by connecting them to each other and hooking the first one up to the switch. The other way to wire multiple lights to one switch is to connect all of them directly to the switch in a “home run” configuration.
Is switch a controlling device?
A switch is an electrical device, usually electromechanical, used to control continuity between two points. Hand switches are actuated by human touch. Limit switches are actuated by machine motion. Process switches are actuated by changes in some physical process (temperature, level, flow, etc.).
Which switch is a device?
A switch is a device in a computer network that connects other devices together. Multiple data cables are plugged into a switch to enable communication between different networked devices.
What happens when you turn on Switch 3?
Switch 1 turns on Switch 2, Switch 2 turns on Switch 3, Switch 3 turns on Switch 1. The loop should stop once each one is on. You would then have to do the same thing for off. I don’t know if it would create any conflicts. You might try using a big switch smart app for each switch, where you change which one is the master.
Can a Smart master switch be set up without coding?
As long as all three switches are smart, setting up one master switch is easy, there are multiple ways to do it with or without coding. Even just IFTTT will work. Or use @NorCalLights ’ trick of not wiring the load in the master, although then if ST goes down you can’t manually turn off the lights on that circuit:
Can you do direct association with SmartThings switches?
If all 3 support association and the two auxiliaries are line of sight to the master then you can do direct association if the switches support it, but then SmartThings loses track of their status. They are Linear WS15Z-1.
When do you stop the loop on a switch?
Switch 1 turns on Switch 2, Switch 2 turns on Switch 3, Switch 3 turns on Switch 1. The loop should stop once each one is on. You would then have to do the same thing for off.
