Re: Future proofing your home with Smart Lighting Control 45Sep 03, 2020 3:29 pm CTEC Smart Homes Blacktea2sugars CTEC Smart Homes Thanks for asking. It depends on where you location is. If you are in WA, its likely not as having neutral wire in WA is not a common practise. In other states it possibly yes, but still it depends on how the house was built. The best way is to confirm with your electrician or builder. Thank you I have my electrical appointment in 2 weeks. do I simply ask if switches have a neutral wire? I don't want to engage in "upgrade chit chat" at this elec meeting, as I KNOW they will try and upsell me their system. Thanks for your comment. You can simply ask if they are going to run neutral wires at each light switches. It pretty standard to have neutral wires in new houses these days and if not, the extra cost shouldn't be much. expecting few hundred dollars. Hope you will get into smart home space shortly Just reaching out to see if you did get Neutral for your switches as mentioned and if yes then how much did the builder charge extra for that ?

Re: Future proofing your home with Smart Lighting Control 49Sep 14, 2020 1:35 pm alexp79 Hi CTEC, I wonder if your switches allow the configuration for the level of glow at night? e.g. I don't want some of my switches to glow brightly. Hi Alex The LED light on the panel can be turned off via the app. even you can schedule it for example turn the background light off from 10 pm to 7 am.
