Philips Hue arguably offers greater choice for lighting options, but the downside is that its accessories and switches don’t look as good. If you want a high-end installation and are happy controlling normal lights, Lightwave Generation 2 is a great system. and a "niko" branded square one with 4 buttons with short/long hold assignable to anything from the app - individual lights or moods or rooms or upstairs or downstairs... My advice is to see how your lights perform and, if you have any issues, replace your bulbs with branded models. Automations provide a host of clever features, including timers, group actions, triggers and wireless two-way switching.Control From Anywhere: Whether you're at home or on the go, the Lightwave app empowers you to control and monitor your lights from anywhere. Illuminate your space before you even step in or create the illusion of occupancy. With Lightwave, you're always in control.

That was the other major problem with Lightwave's switches. When connected and turned on for the first time, the switch automatically performs a calibration process to find the maximum and minimum brightness level for the bulbs connected. Wired like a conventional dimmer switch, Lightwave smart switches can be used as a retrofit solution to replace existing switches or dimmers. With advanced dimming control, you can fine tune the dimming performance on the App to get the best possible dimming results for LED lamps and integrated LED downlights. For both switches, move all wires fitted to the L1 to the L terminal on the Lightwave switch. Move all wires fitted to the L2 to the X terminal on the Lightwave switch. Wires in the C terminal are not required and can be safely terminated or removed altogether. Three-wire system Installation of the smart switch is a DIY job, but it’s once you’ve connected your switch to the Lightwave app that the real fun begins. Create ‘scenes’ – personalised lighting configurations to match the mood you’re in, or the activities you have planned for the evening. A mix of blues and greens might be great for yoga, perhaps, whereas yellow might be your colour for reading. A rosy pink hue… we’ll leave that one up to you. From the app, you just tap a device to toggle it on or off. For the Smart Dimmers, you can long-press and then use the slider to set the brightness level you want. Generation 2 devices display the current state, and Smart Dimmers return to their last set brightness level when you tap them on.

Lightwave also offers Smart Mini Relays so you can control things other than lights – door, gates curtains, and other circuits could be controlled via the app too. Lightwave’s beauty is that it doesn’t expect you to change the way you normally do things. So, walk into a room and you can tap a light switch to have it come on, or hold down the buttons to increase or dim the lights. It’s great to have this level of control, since it’s often easier to turn a light on manually than to use an app. Available in 1 to 4 gang versions and in stainless steel or white metal finishes. The Lightwave Link Plus Wi-Fi hub (LP2) is also required which connects your devices to your Wi-fi network. Google Home support is available, too, and there’s now IFTTT support. Lightwave Generation 2 – Performance

Those in the UK looking for a HomeKit-compatible, hardwired smart switch solution should get the Lightwave Smart Series Light Switches. Though they are quite an investment both in terms of money and time, the end result is still worth it. Dimmable: Yes suitable for dimming LED lights. For GU10 LEDs we recommend the Aurora Ice 5W GU10 LED or Philips branded GU10 LED lamps. For integrated LED downlights go for the Aurora MPRO. Wired dimmer switches are wired directly into the lighting circuit just like an ordinary light switch or dimmer switch and are designed as an easy to install retrofit solution.We always recommend wiring as one way due to the fact that 1 wired dimmer minimum load is 10W,if you have another dimmer controlling the same light using 3 core then the minimum load will be increased to 20w. The Lightwave Smart Series Light Switches are designed to be user-installable but, based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend it, especially if you are looking to use them in areas of your home where you need two-way or multi-way switching. If you are in a scenario where you do not have neutral wires and you are connecting a 1gang to another 1gang dimmer then please see the below video :
