Wireless light switches for home lighting

[cmac2012]

A client wants me to put wall sconces on either side of a large window in their living room. Below each location is an outlet, I’ll be able to fish power up to each light. However, each would need to be turned on separately. They would prefer a single wall switch for both of course but are willing to go with individual switches.

It’s the ground floor, I could possibly go into the crawlspace and put in a switch about 6 feet away. There’s no way I want to cut into the sheet rock. It has an attractive plaster texture finish that I could no way duplicate.

I got to thinking about wireless switches. In the past I’ve had difficulty with that sort of thing; the wireless doorbells rarely worked for long. But who knows, Wi-Fi has gone through a lot of development, maybe that stuff is no longer in the toys realm.

I did a search, don’t know what to make of it. Amazon has a bunch of choices, most of them around 30 bucks and another brand called Runlesswire which is over 100.

The last thing I want to do is install some sort of crap that will fall apart in short order . But higher price is not necessarily a sign of higher quality. Runlesswire touts its compatibility with the Hue smart bulb system. That might explain the higher cost. I’d rather not try to sell my clients on any smart bulb action.

Anybody used this sort of product?
