VFAQ: Lighting Control Options for UK SmartThings

There are many forum discussions of possible lighting control options for the UK. Before we get too theoretical, I just wanted to do a quick recap of the options that are available right now for those in the UK. 1) Choose one of the inside-the-wall micro relays from the official compatibility list and have it installed on the circuit where there is a third wire. Even if there isn’t a third wire in the switchbox itself, there’s still one on the circuit somewhere. It may be at the ceiling fitting, it may be somewhere else in the wall, but it is there. https://www.smartthings.com/uk/compatible-products [image] If you want to add a new faceplate to create a push button “momentary switch,” you can modify many switches to work with the in wall relay. Plastic button front plates are quite…

@dthomp13 mentioned, many UK members end up using a zwave inwall micro. There are several different brands to choose from. That topic is covered in the FAQ.

If you do happen to have a neutral (blue) wire at your switch box, you will have more devices to choose from, including some all-in-one switches. But that’s fairly uncommon in the U.K., which is why the micros are so popular. Some micros don’t require the blue wire and most can be placed at the fitting, where there will be a blue wire, rather than in the switch box. So they just offer more options.
