Can I Use IoT to Control Two Lights with One Switch Without Rewiring?

quick question – I have two lights on the wall that are connected to two different switches and I wanted them both in one switch. Pulling the wires together or chipping the wall and making a path isn’t an option so I was wondering if there is a way in IOT that can send wireless signal to one switch when the other is turned on?

    Consider using smart switches to wirelessly control both lights without rewiring

    Thanks a lot 👍👍

  3. wafa_ath#0000

    If you’re not into switches, there are also smart relays you can hide behind the switches.

    You can add voice command too 😁

    Ooh nice. I’ll definitely check them out.

  6. wafa_ath#0000

    Yes , please give us update about the process 🤓

  7. fr05tbite#0000

    XD sure

  8. fr05tbite#0000

    I want two lights on two different switches to turn on with just one of those switches so ig a simple relay on one of them would suffice

  9. wafa_ath#0000

    if you want it to work the other way too like turning off both lights you have to use relay with latch

    gotcha
