I need some advice. I bought a new house and it has a GE 24 V home automation system from the 70s that uses relays in the attic to turn on lights when low-voltage switches in the walls her throne. I want to automate this. I am thinkIng about using An arguing board with relays in momentary mode.
I have no experience with arduino so I will be starting from scratch.
Has anyone had any experience with doing something similar? Thanks very much for your help in advance.
PS this may also be a fools errand and it might just be cheaper for me to replace the whole thing with a Lou Tron system of some sort
I have a similar system and would love to hear if there are replacement smart switches that can be found. AS of now, I am finding it just as easy to replace a few of the bulbs that the switch is controlling, but then need to rely on someone not hitting the pad/switch and powering off the devices!
Thanks,
I found these Mimo light devices, and they are promising.
But they are one channel. They were promising a larger multi-channel this year. I will look into it. That would allow us to have just one unit to close the contacts. We just need a momentary closure.
