ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Remote Dimmer

I need a remote dimmer that will work around a corner and was wondering if anyone here has installed one with luck.
The switch for a clients kitchen light is in a useless spot and moving the box is out of the question. I was looking at the Maestro IR but it doesn't look like it would work around the corner of the wall where the current switch location is.
I was thinking one more like a fan remote where the relay mounts in the canopy.
Any suggestions?

Try using the X10 wireless control, www.x10.com

..., or the next generation after X-10, Insteon: www.insteon.net .

I've tried them out, and they're really nice.

I recently saw that Leviton's Aspire line was going to go RF with Zwave technology. That might work for you.

Lutron is another one with wireless technology. http://www.lutron.com/homeworks/wireless.asp

The fan remote control should definitely work. I've had to change codes on some because the one in the next apartment was also controlling their fan/light.
Pity you don't live close, I have 2 spares ones somewhere due to an order mixup.

That's the #1 unwritten rule in the world of X-10: never leave your house-code on 'A'.
