frankman 5 Report post Posted October 19, 2013 Hi Frank, I saw you are using the Livolo switch for your hse.Is it with remote control one? So far any problem with the switches because I heard that the swtiches IC always got problem and the supplier in SG also ask me not to buy. Is it true?Are they selling this model in Singapore? I have using them since November last year without any problem, it maybe a misunderstanding because the installation instruction or manual describe clearly and ever my electrician installed cannot get it to works. I have used all model like common one switch, switch with remote control for my master bedroom light and 2 way switch for my living are lighting. First thing have to understand this is not a normal switch it's control by electric circuit board inside, for example I used a 2 gang switch to control my bathroom light and exhaust fan. But it doesn't work with my exhaust fan to get it to work I must touch and hold the switch for more than 3 sec for first time and get it to communicate the fan, after that it work like normal switch. If touch and hold for 3 sec again it's mis-communicate with the fan agin. Same goes to my 2 way switch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frankman 5 Report post Posted October 19, 2013 To those who intend to use this Livolo switch for your house, conventional 2 way switch (3 gang) need 6 to 7 wires to connect within 2 switches, 2 way switch (3 gang) only need 2 wires. Please advise your electrician to run 6 to 7 wires like conventional switch, just in case you decided not to use this Livolo switches in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Used to sell in SG and they say the IC inside the switch got a lot of problem and it has not been approved by SG so they decided to stop. They still got leftover but it isnot cheap. I think a 3 gang cost 200+.So the switch that can be controlled by remote got no problem so far is it? Any problem connecting to LED downlight and LED strip?Possible to visit ur hse?

OceanEleven 203 Report post Posted October 19, 2013 Hi there, 3 things in your place interest me a lot. Cat 7 cable, your electrician is able to run all cable for you?All connection and termination he can settle for you? Livolo switches, my concern is that electrician is unable to install properly. Your instruction of installing the "6/7" wires is really useful. Is yours with remote?If yes, as of now, still working? LEDs: I know nuts about the LEDs, how to start, join, drivers needed etc. Electrician able to settle as well? Please advise. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frankman 5 Report post Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) If you are using RGB LED strip, you need this to change the color of your LED strip (touch sensing).LED drivers.You need to plan all other LED strip connectors for your installer, I can't answer on the behalf of your electrician, you need to check with them.
