Dear forum,
I have relatively little to do with electricity, but I would like to upgrade the lighting circuits in my basement and outside a bit. It’s not much, but we simply miss the functions in everyday life. Of course, I only want to replace the switches present in the switch box and not rewire anything or so...
The following circuits exist:
a) A staircase lighting circuit with an Elpa 8 staircase light switch from Theben for the outside light
b) A basement light circuit with push buttons and a simple relay eltako S12-100.
What I would like and how I would realize it based on online research:
a) The outside light should have the possibility to be switched to continuous light (at least 1 hour) at the switch. For this, I have chosen the Theben Elpa 6, which is connected exactly like the current Elpa 8.
Is that correct? Are there other product recommendations?
b) The basement light should have a time switch, also with a continuous lighting function. For this, I need an impulse relay with the current wiring that offers this possibility, right? I am unsure which one I can and should take. The Eltako TLZ12-8PLUS has the function "impulse relay with fall-back delay" and should be suitable for this, shouldn’t it? Do I just omit the control voltage 8-230 V UC specified in the data sheet at terminals -C1 and +C1 with my wiring?
Thank you very much for your help, experiences, and tips on other/more suitable products!
