Light control

Do anybody knows which it the best and the easiest brand for operating light with BEO 4 ?

When I said easiest I mean that I dont need to renovate my flat to install dimers and swiches 🙂 

Have a look a one of my former thread...

Thank you Phil!

Raone smartdimmer look like a great solution, bu I wondering can I replace my existing on wall switch with smartdimmer ? And how can I install it ?

You said that you have them.... it is hard to install ?

Jbmedia micro modul is again great solution ... does it have all control from beo4 like a smartdimmer ?

Phil,

I see you favour the Innovus.

1. Does it work in a British two-wire system, or does it need a proper supply (live and neutral in, switched live and neutral out)?

2. How did you fit them over a standard British pattress?

There is a dimmer from Lutron. It's called Rania, and it's easy to install. But it only can be controlled with the Beo5, not with the Beo4, and it can't be labeled with a number, so, if you have 2 in the same range, both will respond to a Beo5 command.

Keith explained it some time ago.

Well, I have two Rania dimmers on my bathroom outside the door as below and have created an XML file to control them

These Rania dimmers have a remote control BUT are NOT B&O compatible. With the created XML file you can set 4 different scenes, raise and lower the light level and switch on and off. The display is below

You can download the XML configuration file HERE

It is in a zip file and extract it to C:\ if your Beo5 Configuration tool is in C:\Program Files as the default for installing version 1.30 was C:\ unlike the previous versions.

 

I would like to go for this solution but I wonder if the reception will as good as the LC2. This receiver can control modules which can be integrated behind existing switches.
