Researcher has developed, at a cost of less than one dollar, a wireless light switch that runs without batteries, can be installed anywhere on a wall and could reduce the cost of wiring a house by …::A U of A engineering researcher has developed a wireless light switch that could reduce the cost of wiring a house by as much as 50 per cent.
I think I’ve heard about this. Or maybr this is a different technology fron what is already here, where the flipping of the switch produces just enough power to send a signal.
Anyway I think this is quite interesting and it would seem usefull if you have some sort of smart hub or smart lights and want to switch the lights from a point on the wall instead of your phone.
