The remote control switch is unique in its ability to allow control of existing switches in any property using a remote control. When used in co-ordination with existing switches, the manual control of the switch remains unchanged i.e. it enables the user to use the switch manually. The solution can serve sockets with high loads and also provide optional dimming of incandescent lights and fan speed control. The Remote Control Switch solution can be installed quickly without making any external changes to the existing switch.
