Marketed by Scolmore under the ‘ Click Smart ’ brand , the home automation range aims to provide a system that makes it easy , quick and relatively cheap to adapt and update a home to provide extra security , energy saving , comfort and control for homeowners and other occupants .

With the recent addition of Smart Switches to its Click Smart Wiring Accessories collection , Scolmore is making it easier than ever for installers to provide an upgrade to an existing wiring installation with minimal disruption .

Here we look at three scenarios which Scolmore has identified as typical problems encountered by installers , and shows how Smart Switches work to provide a solution .

Add an additional switch to an existing light without the need for cabling

You need to make your way to the bathroom in the middle of the night . It ’ s difficult to see in the dark and you want to avoid disturbing anyone . The solution is to fit a Click Smart switching module behind the light fitting you wish to activate in the bathroom and then add the switch controller to a convenient place in the bedroom . You can now easily turn the bathroom light on from the comfort of your bed .

Fix a flickering light by using a retractive switch instead of a rotary dimmer ( wired )

The problem of continuous flickering when you switch on one of your lights with a rotary dimmer can be easily overcome using the multifunctional dimming receiver and a retractive switch . Replace the wired rotary dimmer with the retractive switch and add the receiver to the light fitting . This will instantly stop any flickering that may have occurred .

If you have a two-way switch upstairs and a dimmer downstairs you can turn the light on from the switch . Once dimmed with the rotary dimmer , there is no way for you to increase the brightness . You can only switch the lights on and off at the same brightness . This means you have to walk downstairs which can be hazardous if the lighting is set at a low level . By using a Click Smart multifunctional dimming receiver and two retractive switches , you will be able to dim from both locations , meaning no more risky trips down the stairs in the dark .

Consisting of a retractive switch module and switch cover plate , the Click Smart Switches are available in five switch types and in multiple finishes and styles from across the Click Wiring Accessory ranges to offer maximum choice .

The five switch types offered range from the one-gang plate with one aperture up to a two-gang plate with 2x3 apertures . The plate styles available are from Scolmore ’ s popular wiring accessory ranges , including Polar , Mode , Essentials , Deco , Define and Definity . The Deco , Define and Definity switches have the added choice of product finishes which include Antique Brass , Polished Brass , Satin Brass , Polished Chrome , Satin Chrome , Black Nickel , Pearl Nickel and Stainless Steel .

The Click Smart controls make it easier to switch and dim wirelessly from preferred locations without the use of switch drops .
