Dual Load Switch For North America


Recommended Posts


I totally agree this is going in circles and an integrator or electrician should be involved to prevent potential death.

You need at least 4 relays if you want to retain the existing functionality. Put them where you want.

A Keypad only has a single relay, but can control any relay etc using programming.

I'm going to throw gas on the fire. You have a two gang box so you can have this:

  • 1 KD and 1 block off plate plus 3 relays.
  • 2 KD plus 2 relays
  • 4 relays wired to existing swtiches
  • 1 KD, 1 double switch and 3 relays
  • 4 relays motion switch and humidity switch
  • 1 KD and 1 triple decora switch and 3 relays
  • 4 relays a blank 2 gang switch plate and Alexa/Josh
  • 2 KD plus 3 relays to split ceiling from vanity
  • 1 KD , 2 relays and smart bulbs
  • ...

 

Decide your budget and desired physical human factors experience with the switches.

My electrician will hard wire everything.

As a more cost-effective solution we’ve decided to use a keypad dimmer and 2 x Shelley 2PMs per location.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this thread for your help.

Your electrician may want to use the UL versions of Shelly and may want to calculate box space. If they aren't fussy about UL you can save a little box space by using a 2PM and a Mini for a total of 4 relays in the box including the KD.
