Hello All!

Sorry for asking something which I understand has already been answered but I just want to make sure my setup will work before ordering the components.

I already own a BLGW and I want to control GU10 in the home cinema room. At the time being the GU10s are connected through a trailing edge dimmer to the mains and they are controlled by a retractable Legrand switch (switch is connected to the dimmer via ethernet cable).

To be able to control the GU10s via beolink2 app AS WELL AS the switch I need to buy the rako bridge and a PILL?

Hi (late reply).

Did you ever change this set-up. Not sure about how the existing Legrand ethernet thing works but if its already running over ethernet is there not a gateway compatible with the existing set-up that could be used?

For Rako, yes you would need the dimmer and gateway to make this work with the BLGW. The PILL is limited to the load it can take, so depending on how many GU10s you have this may not be suitable.

Hi @Seanie_230 - did you get anywhere with this last year? Would love to find a way of getting my wall light switches replaced to communicate with my BLGW (and therefore also my Hue bulbs).
