Why are wireless switches better than wired switches?

In the application of smart home, we will find that the switch in the smart home is not only a switch to control electrical appliances, but also plays a linkage role. Through the wireless switch and other devices for linkage, voice control, scene control, and other functions. So, what are the advantages of wireless switches compared with traditional wired switches?
First of all, we need to understand what is a wireless switch. The wireless switch is a kind of switch control method, which realizes the function of controlling electrical appliances through wireless communication technology and is a self-generated switch that does not need batteries. Wired switches generally refer to mechanical switches with wiring, and their circuits are composed of terminals and buttons.

Physically, there is no wire connection for wireless switches. Wireless switches can freely choose the installation location, wiring method, and so on. Therefore, in the smart home, wireless switches have advantages that traditional wired switches cannot match:

1. Easy installation

The traditional wired switch needs professional manual installation, although it can be done in a piecemeal manner, it can't be connected as a whole, and can't be connected with other smart home products to realize linkage control, which makes the traditional wired switch can only meet the needs of individuals and can't meet the needs of the smart home.
The wireless switch adopts wireless communication technology, which does not require manual wiring and is easy to install. For ordinary families, it is only necessary to connect the wireless switch to the circuit. For example, the lights can be controlled by voice assistant; the smart home products can be controlled by voice assistant; the lights can be controlled by cell phone APP, and so on. The wireless switch is easy to install and can realize the linkage control of various smart home products.

2. Small footprint and flexibility

Traditional wired switches take up a lot of space and need to occupy a certain space, which is not conducive to installation and movement. The wireless switch does not need to be connected to the wire, only needs to be installed in the appropriate location, does not take up floor space, and can meet the needs of many scenes. For example, wireless switches can be installed in bedrooms, bathrooms, and other locations. In addition, wireless switches do not need to consider the power problem when used, as long as there is an outlet that can be used.

3. Can be remotely controlled via software

Using the wireless switch in the smart home, you can control it remotely through the cell phone APP. Users who usually go to work or go on business trips can control the wireless switches at home on their cell phones, eliminating the trouble of having to switch on and off the lights when they go out. In addition, for users with elderly people and children at home, it is also more convenient to control the electrical appliances at home to prevent accidents.

4. Wide range of adaptations

In practical application, the wireless switch can also be set to a normally open or normally closed state according to the need to meet the different needs of users. When we go home at night, we can use the wireless switch to control the lights in the living room; when we sleep in the bedroom, we can use the wireless switch to control the bedroom light switch.
With the development of smart home systems, wireless switches will gradually replace the wired switch to become the family control center. At the same time, people's pursuit of intelligence is also rising. At present, smart home products with ZigBee wireless communication technology as the core are gradually popularized.

5. Lower prices

Since wireless switches do not require wiring, they can save costs and the product price is relatively low.
Taken together, the advantages of wireless switches are obvious, so they are favored by more and more users in smart home applications.
