Light Switch
A light switch gives on/off control of a hard-wired lighting circuit from the wall. It replaces a standard switch and adds scheduling, scenes, and remote control while keeping the familiar paddle.
A smart light switch replaces an ordinary wall switch and controls the lighting circuit behind it on or off. Unlike a smart bulb it keeps the physical wall control working for everyone in the room, and being mains powered it responds instantly and stays online.
How Selora AI uses light switches
- Reliable room lighting that turns on with presence, schedules, or scenes and always answers a tap at the wall.
- Whole-home routines that switch a circuit as part of goodnight, away, or vacation scenes.
- Local control so lights keep switching on the hub even when the internet is down.
Why light switches matter for installers
A smart switch upgrades a room without new wiring or new fixtures, and clients keep the wall control they expect. Many mains-powered switches also repeat the Zigbee, Z-Wave, or Thread mesh, strengthening the network for nearby battery devices.
