>>> Or directly 5x2.5. Then you can even switch your three tree spotlights individually with the WLAN technology in the distributor. <<<
The tree spotlights, like the rest, are just examples. I'm more interested in the principle behind the technology.
>>> That’s how you could do it. Or you lay a bypass and the garden has permanent power. Then put a Shelly under the switch. Depending on how you program it, you can make it a main switch, for turning everything off, and still be able to switch everything back on with your phone. <<<
I have installed several empty conduits in the garden to comfortably reach almost every corner of the garden. In total, there are 5 "autonomous" lines going outside, through which cables could be pulled via the empty conduits, but only one of them has a switch (inside the house). I understand "bypass" as a permanent power solution, for example simply a new line without a switch – I hope I understand that correctly. Furthermore, I understand that the bypass with, for example, a Shelly actuator would be the more sensible setup if controlling via smartphone would be sufficient for me, and the switch inside the house would not necessarily have to be operated. Did I understand that correctly?
The setup would then be simple: power cable through the empty conduit --> Shelly actuator --> light source.
The Shelly actuator connects to WLAN and could then be controlled via app or similar.
>>> First define exactly what you want, what you can do, and what infrastructure you already have, such as Homematic, Alexa, etc. Even a Fritzbox offers various smart home features that are entirely sufficient for this. Then you can be helped. Very general questions are difficult. <<<
Access to the light sources via app with on/off for the respective light source would be sufficient for me. WLAN availability at the relevant points can be ensured relatively easily, so that would probably be my preferred solution.
I have a Fritzbox – apart from that, I do not have any relevant smart home infrastructure.
Maybe someone can also briefly "confirm" this:
Do the actuators work independently of the consumers behind them, i.e. would it be possible to switch an old string of lights from 1990 with it, or are there any requirements on the consumers behind?
Thanks in any case for the help so far and for everything that is still to come. As you can easily tell from my questions, I'm still a beginner in this area, so I am all the more grateful for the patient answers and any suggestions.
