Trying to be positive, I'm going to assume this was a strictly learning exercise in mechanical design: https://www.instructables.com/Remote-Control-Light-Switch-1/ |
| PlainName:
There are actual products that do this kind of thing: https://www.amazon.co.uk/SwitchBot-Smart-Switch-Button-Pusher/dp/B07B7NXV4R One problem with shoving the smarts behind the pattress is lack of a neutral wire. Lack of space can be an issue too. |
| themadhippy:
great idea,no modification to the fixed wiring,so no rules broken |
| AlbertL:
Seems like a Bluetooth-enabled light bulb would be a simpler solution. |
| AlbertL:
There's a product like that made for pushing buttons on electrical switchgear when there's a danger of arc flash. There were a few times when I was working on boatanchor equipment that one of those would have been nice to have. |
