7 seconds to reconnect each switch excluding walking time. Its a pity they don't make a range with pendants, two gang switches or switches that look traditional
Imagine a loft conversion where the two way light switches were located (a) halfway up the stairs and (b) on the wall facing, & six feet away from, the top of the stairs.... that was the situation I wanted to correct. 24 hours ago I watched your video, then ordered a receiver switch QURS1W to replace the existing (a = halfway) switch, plus two QUWS1W = one each for the newel posts top & bottom of the flight.

@@fivish oh definitely a gimmick but all good ideas start off as a novelty. I live in an old (I'm in talking British old) house. The effort of routing the cable for a switch is ridiculous!
TWO YEARS ON REVIEW - I have had a range of wireless switch products from Quinetic such as inlines tucked into my ceiling for downlighters. Everything is still working as it should with the exception of the 13A socket adaptors (non wifi). Out of the 7 originally purchased I have had to replace 4 under warranty. They are temperamental too - loosing power to the socket and re-energising in quick succession completely confuses them. Probably our biggest fault with the 13A socket switches is the high pitch squeel they emit when not turned on. All reports to the manufacturer were dismissed and simply requested that I continue to exchange these at a TLC branch. Shame as the other products are spot on. Forgot to add - great content, thanks GSH
Apart from the convenience & labour saved... these kinetic devices can save a LOT of copper, an increasingly expensive material... Good man Gary ! 😎👍☘🍺
You are all so good at what you do. Wish I had tutors like you when I was learning. Not like they were bad. But they didn’t have technology on their side. But even putting that aside you are a different class. It would be a pleasure to be taught by someone who cares as much as yourself
I am thinking of getting some of these switches, they look nice and do have an advantage over wired switches especially in rented homes , as you can’t even hang a picture on the wall without the landlords permission, and wren you move you just take the switches with you and put the old one back in . 👍 Great video Gaz as always 👍👍❤️
The technology is there but convincing old fashioned bosses to move with the times is so frustrating. I constantly experiment with new products on private work and this is the first time I've seen this version of the technology. Thanks for the video I'll definitely be giving these a try sometime soon they look absolutely fantastic. No lifting carpet, no floorboards or chasing. Saves hours of fun and games. It's refreshing for college lecturer's to be keeping up with the times and even the future. Most just want to tell you about the good old days. Keep up the excellent work. 👍
Very useful indeed!!! My wife is always complaining that one of our 3 way switches is in the wrong place and that we actually need 4 way!!! Hummmmmm. I feel a project ;-)
Just installed this to control my upstairs light from downstairs as I couldn’t get my light switch to switch on from down to up. Saved me calling out a sparky. Worked a treat.
I thought you were turning into Tommy Cooper at the end " Key fob switch switch switch key fob". On a serious note, I think these are a great idea. I have 4 or 5 applications at home where this will save me a lot of aggro and I'll be able to do a couple of wiring jobs that I've put off because of the hassle of extra cable runs etc. Plus the time saving factor is potentially huge. Great video, well explained.
As someone wh swapped all the doors in my house to save space so that they open twoards the wall, I have blocked direct access to my light switches, being a lazy git I never changed them, these are a game changer!!
I like the mechanism on how to functioning the switches, just like the bluetooth pairing. Thank you for sharing the device and it will be easy to install and no cables for installation. I really appreciate as electrician here in the Philippines
I'm not an electrician, not planning on being one and not doing any work...so not sure why I'm here, but what a great video - this guy's got a great presentation style. Clear and succint. Actually, I say I'm not doing any work - I'm doing a new build next year and one of the dilemmas is in future proofing the wires. In my last two homes I used Lutron-style systems, both of which became obsolete/superceded. The future is likely wireless (Lora, Zigbee, BLE etc.) so I'm thinking that L&N wiring to all sockets is likely to provide the best future proofing as many devices do need power. Kinetic switches; not sure I like that mechanism...looks a bit flimsy and I'd want steel plates (maybe that's an option). Oh, 1998 called and wants their CFL bulb back :-)
I have had this system for decades now. It is really very flexible. I went with what Home Easy was making back then (defunct now). It all still works. We can switch outside lights on from our bedroom. I used their system to put a new light in the bathroom. The lighting module in the light fitting does not require any wiring from the light to any switch. This allowed me to put the light switch in the bathroom rather than the usual position outside the bathroom door. The remote kept in in our car will switch on the driveway lights at night. Signal controlled lighting should be the new norm. It is so much safer because there is no need for live/mains wiring to a switch.
What sort of range does it get for outside lights. My driveway lights will end up being 20 metres or so from my house and I figured these are the best solution rather than wiring it back with a traditional switch
I think these are a real game changer. The installation and user advantages are compelling (and I have installed a few of the predecessor range) but the inbuilt switch unit you have shown is brilliant. My only residual concern is one of reliability in the long term.
The other concern with any product that doesn't need a neutral is compatibility. The receiver is presumably powered by allowing a small current to leak through the load when off which can cause problems with LED lighting.
Sure wish I had you for a teacher when I was in school (I like your passion and teaching method). Of course, then we would be at a disadvantage - I'd have to get used to your accent (I'm in the U.S.A.) and you would have to get used to our systems and gazillion pages of of codes. LOL Keep up the great work!!!!
Quinetic brilliant products, I use their wireless key fob for switching on driveway lights at night from the car, & their slim LED floodlights are rather good,having a built in receiver.
The cable is the Ariel. The electrical field of the cable. Remember when television ran off the light fittings. Used to plug in the television to the ceiling. Practically tuned into the frequency on the cable. 👍
This is magical! I've delt with so many clients trying to add switching into existing structures and have had to resort to cutting walls or do surface trunking (which I really don't like). This is a game changer! Question: If you want to withdraw one of the paired switches from the mechanism, what do you do?
I don’t like modern technology 😂 , but this is a fantastic idea Until they pack up and then you have to spend more money to replace them , talking of money how much are they I might have to give them to try , ? Maybe. Fantastic video as always Gaz 👍👍👍❤️
watching random videos on youtube and came across this. I think its very cool. would be good to dissect one of those paired items just to see whats inside.
Could you replace a bathroom switch with pull cord by connecting the wired transmitter/receiver on the ceiling and then the unwired one on the wall in the bathroom - there would be no contact with electrical cabling at the wall, so would imagine would be within the regs. I absolutely hate pull cord switches!
So, without any explanation of the method of operation of the 'kinetic switch' - We assume a piezo crystal is energised by the kinetic action of physically pressing the switch button, which in turn provides enough current to perhaps charge a capacitor which in turn, acts as a temporary current source for the RFI transmitter (?) Ingenious.
This is magic. Now if only can be remote and pair with Alexa or Google so you have remote voice control as well as manual. I'm liking as many of this type requires neutral line. Which is impossible in older buildings without completely rewiring.
Thanks for the content. My electrician says installing a wire remains best practice, so these replacement switches with kinetic receivers are great all round as they give all the advantages of hard writing with all the opportunities of wireless... A question though: why is UA-cam flooded with Quinetic brand and the others don't seem to be getting traction, even though on the face of it the ranges seem quite similar?
Like the look of this as I have a switch behind a door. However my lighting is not wired with switch live I.e. all neutrals are connected together behind the switch. Could this be used on this type of wiring method?
Thinking will be great for the shed, garage or garden office, you can switch the light on from the house before you go out, no fumbling about in the dark until your inside.
Thank you for your tutorials. I think there already are electric installations that can be remotely controlled over the internet. Can you do a tutorial about that?
can you recommend any wireless switches to replace pull cord switch in a bathroom that doesn't need much wiring? Tired of replacing pull cord switches every few months no matter which brand I buy.
Install a quinetic or ener-j receiver within the light fitting or in an inclosure in the roof space. Then, get rid of the pull cord altogether. The switches can be stuck to the our or inside of the bathroom wall with double-sided tape.
This is a brilliant solution!! Do they do a 2 channel receiver, to switch 2 separate lamps? Also do they do a slimmer receiver that could be put into a ceiling void, through a ceiling downlight hole???
Hi Gary. You have the L and L1 in the switch to connect. Is there ever a live and a neutral instead. Just started learning on your channel,. You do a great job teaching us all. Also informing us of safety first.
Take a look at this video Future Proof Your Lights When Taking the Feed to the Switch - 2 Plate Method ua-cam.com/video/QtqSFVOqntU/v-deo.html Thanks for commenting Gaz
Fantastic demonstration. What happens if one of the switches go bad and you can't get a replacement as new technology switches are coming on board everyday,?
My neighbour had a new door bell fitted with one that uses this technology. We live very close to the seafront and the salt air corrodes traditional bell push contacts in no time. This system of course has no electrical contacts to corrode away.
I love those kinetic switches no battery required! No neutral required. It's like some sort of Voodoo Black Magic 😂. I Wanted to make something like this when I was a kid just didn't have the knowledge. I hope the switches don't were out quickly.
That’s amazing! Does the first switch needs to be connected to the power though? Or I can use multiple switches to the same light and none of them is connected to the wires?
Great video. First I've heard of these. Thank you for your time. I have been playing with wires for 39 years thanks to a great instructor. 95% of the time. A skillful Electrician leaves NO repairs needed by others. We preform Magic. LOL Smash and bash wiring should never be excepted. It's Absolutely disgraceful to building owner's and My opinion. The fact that the younger people coming into the Trades are NOT being taught some of the MOST Important aspects of doing their jobs. That is Disrespect for the Trades being taught by the instructors. One might hope the newbie trades person would catch on and develop some care, finesse and craftsmanship in their chosen trade. Apparently though...
Funny thing is it depends on the person, I've met many a great young persons that take great care, I've also met many an old electritians and other tradesmen that are absolute cunts, depends on the person, I'm the kind of electritian that will make sure that my work is done correctly and beautifully, i also work with other trades so the site is easy to be on, can't say that for many electricians.
@@vladimirpolak5203 you are certainly correct about that. It really does come down to the individual. I must keep that in mind a little more often before I start saying, " what's the matter with kids today?" Thank you for pointing that out. All this time I wasn't "seeing" what I was looking at. Yikes! Guilty of my own pet peeve. LOL Retirement Home here I come
I fitted something similar, the main switch leeches power via the bulb/load. The remote has a mini 12v battery with a huge range. The remote can operate up to four different lights/loads. The switch has a glass front with a glowing circle in the middle, indicating Orange when lit and glows Blue in the dark.
This is exactly what I need!!! Can you please tell me if Quinetic exports to South Africa? I need the wall unit as well as the mobile black little remote. Thanks for the info. Cape Town South Africa
Interesting. Never knew these existed. I have a narrow light switch (cover plate is barely wider than the button switch itself) in between the bathroom door frame and the door frame of a storage cupboard right next it - do they do a powered switch in that width? I've just measured the cover and it's only 3cm wide.
Seems to be a more fancy updated version of switches that I used way back in 2006 in my detached koi pond house. Rather than get involved with mains wiring (and its safety implications in a wet environment) I simply put the switches up, set them up as required, wired the lights direct via the remote control unit and it was, let there be light.They were wireless operated switches powered by a small battery and worked very well. It even came with a remote so I could switch the lights on from the house.
These have no battery - they use the physical force of someone operating the switch to generate the required power. So no need to change batteries / risk switches going dead.
Only big problem I have found with these is if you link multiple receivers that are on different circuits. (I.e. lighting through staircase where original wiring is separated by floor) to be controlled via one switch that if an MCB trips the driver does not remember the position it was in, in relation to the switch so it can come out of sync with the other lights very easily. Meaning you have to turn off every circuit relating to all drivers the switch is controlling, then turn them all back on to have all the lights coming on and off in sync. Apart from that great bit of kit, lifetime could do with some work in comparison to other ranges out there but compatibility with existing switches/grid switches is very handy.
After watching this I have purchased one of these receiver switches & matching switch. I want to replace an existing 2 way switch with the Quinetic allowing me to add a third switch halfway along the hall. What I missed is the existing switch is of course 2 way with the third connection and 3 core and earth cable, the quinetic only has two connections. Can I still use the quinetic as they do not show this situation on the accompanying diagrams?
Not sure if anyone asked, and did not hear you say anything about this. Does the secondary switch get lost if you lose power over time? Or how do you deactivate one switch after it is locked to a primary switch?
Hope this video helps 👍🏻 Quinetic Wireless Switch & Built in-line Receiver - What Happens when the Power goes OFF & Unpairing ua-cam.com/video/rDrqvBorTGI/v-deo.html
Can this system be connected to one's mobile phone. So you can control, switch the lights on or off with your phone. And if one's away you could set up a stagger light switch timer on one's phone? Different lights at home.
Is the pairing lost when the power fails? Would love to use these in Rented houses or HMO`s but it would be a nightmare for maintenance if they keep losing the pair.

I love those kinetic switches no battery required! No neutral required. It's like some sort of Voodoo Black Magic 😂. I Wanted to make something like this when I was a kid just didn't have the knowledge. I hope the switches don't were out quickly.
that is genius. I wonder if they sell them outside the uk ? and whats the garentee on them ?
Look for EnOcean switches 👍🏻
Hi . Thanks for the video. If there is a power cut do the switches remember their pairing ? rgds Don

That’s amazing!
Does the first switch needs to be connected to the power though? Or I can use multiple switches to the same light and none of them is connected to the wires?
Great video. First I've heard of these. Thank you for your time.
I have been playing with wires for 39 years thanks to a great instructor. 95% of the time. A skillful Electrician leaves NO repairs needed by others.
We preform Magic. LOL
Smash and bash wiring should never be excepted.
It's Absolutely disgraceful to building owner's and My opinion. The fact that the younger people coming into the Trades are NOT being taught some of the MOST Important aspects of doing their jobs.
That is Disrespect for the Trades being taught by the instructors. One might hope the newbie trades person would catch on and develop some care, finesse and craftsmanship in their chosen trade. Apparently though...
Funny thing is it depends on the person, I've met many a great young persons that take great care, I've also met many an old electritians and other tradesmen that are absolute cunts, depends on the person, I'm the kind of electritian that will make sure that my work is done correctly and beautifully, i also work with other trades so the site is easy to be on, can't say that for many electricians.
@@vladimirpolak5203 you are certainly correct about that. It really does come down to the individual. I must keep that in mind a little more often before I start saying, " what's the matter with kids today?"
Thank you for pointing that out. All this time I wasn't "seeing" what I was looking at. Yikes! Guilty of my own pet peeve. LOL
Retirement Home here I come
Is the quarz or coil (if activated by magnet inducing power)in the satellite switch affected by cold temperatures, humidity
I fitted something similar, the main switch leeches power via the bulb/load. The remote has a mini 12v battery with a huge range. The remote can operate up to four different lights/loads.
The switch has a glass front with a glowing circle in the middle, indicating Orange when lit and glows Blue in the dark.
A very smart device. Where can I buy the switches?
Fantastic demo love it well done!.
Thanks 👍🏻
Very good video and very well presented
Thanks 👍🏻
Mind blown 🤯! Thanks man.
very good and professional presentation
brilliant video and great product.Where can we purchase these products?Thanks!
TLC wholesalers 👍🏻
This is exactly what I need!!! Can you please tell me if Quinetic exports to South Africa? I need the wall unit as well as the mobile black little remote. Thanks for the info. Cape Town South Africa
excellent bit of kit but limited on the decorative finishes, come quinectic, sort it out
True 👍🏻
Interesting. Never knew these existed. I have a narrow light switch (cover plate is barely wider than the button switch itself) in between the bathroom door frame and the door frame of a storage cupboard right next it - do they do a powered switch in that width? I've just measured the cover and it's only 3cm wide.
Love, love, live this idea!!! Do you know if anything like this is available for the Australian market????
Game changer to all the traders out there game on

Seems to be a more fancy updated version of switches that I used way back in 2006 in my detached koi pond house. Rather than get involved with mains wiring (and its safety implications in a wet environment) I simply put the switches up, set them up as required, wired the lights direct via the remote control unit and it was, let there be light.They were wireless operated switches powered by a small battery and worked very well. It even came with a remote so I could switch the lights on from the house.
These have no battery - they use the physical force of someone operating the switch to generate the required power. So no need to change batteries / risk switches going dead.
How do these stand up to RFI from other radio transmitters ie mobile phone, walkie talkies, radio hams ?
I see Quinetic have a PIR option now (QUPIR). Hopefully you get to do a video on those soon.
I have looked at the PIR but haven’t done a video yet 👍🏻
Only big problem I have found with these is if you link multiple receivers that are on different circuits. (I.e. lighting through staircase where original wiring is separated by floor) to be controlled via one switch that if an MCB trips the driver does not remember the position it was in, in relation to the switch so it can come out of sync with the other lights very easily. Meaning you have to turn off every circuit relating to all drivers the switch is controlling, then turn them all back on to have all the lights coming on and off in sync.
Apart from that great bit of kit, lifetime could do with some work in comparison to other ranges out there but compatibility with existing switches/grid switches is very handy.
After watching this I have purchased one of these receiver switches & matching switch. I want to replace an existing 2 way switch with the Quinetic allowing me to add a third switch halfway along the hall. What I missed is the existing switch is of course 2 way with the third connection and 3 core and earth cable, the quinetic only has two connections. Can I still use the quinetic as they do not show this situation on the accompanying diagrams?
is it the same kind of electricity generation as in a lighter?
Very interesting! Looks like a great alternative to a wi-fi setup. I need to see if something like this is available in the US. Thanks!
Look for EnOcean in the US 👍🏻
Pico switches by lutron check them out
Not sure if anyone asked, and did not hear you say anything about this. Does the secondary switch get lost if you lose power over time? Or how do you deactivate one switch after it is locked to a primary switch?
Hope this video helps 👍🏻

Can this system be connected to one's mobile phone. So you can control, switch the lights on or off with your phone. And if one's away you could set up a stagger light switch timer on one's phone? Different lights at home.
Great product saves alot of time and hassle 😁👍
That’s is absolutely superb
👍🏻
Is the pairing lost when the power fails? Would love to use these in Rented houses or HMO`s but it would be a nightmare for maintenance if they keep losing the pair.
Was thinking the same, ok till their is a glitch then you have to revisit to pair them. Ok if customer is savvy enough to do it themselves.
Checkout my latest video 👍🏻
I had a 3 hour power outage and didn’t have any issue when power came back. Also had consumer unit changed again without any issue.
@@darrencampbell5629 They keep the pairing even after a power cut.
How would you go about un-pairing a switch, going from a 2way back to a 1way
This should help

Question :
If you loose power in the house do you need to re pair the switches with the lights again?
