I'm building a new house and I want to use wireless switching for all lighting.
Its just too easy switch on a light to require a hard wired connection to a wall mounted switch.
I realize the NEC says: At least one wall switch-controlled lighting outlet must be installed in every habitable room and bathroom of a dwelling unit. Plus Exception No. 2: Lighting outlets can be controlled by occupancy sensors equipped with a manual override that permits the sensor to function as a wall switch.
So it is possible to put wireless load controller in the lighting outlet to meet the NEC and use any number of wireless transmitters to control lighting circuit - without a hard wired switch?
Or must I install hard wired manual switches between the panel and the lighting outlets. The NEC doesn't require the switch to be in the same room does it?
Have anyone had any experience with this?
