Just looking for some advice if the idea I have in mind is even feasible.
I have 2 light switches in my kitchen, one for some pendant lights, one for some overhead cannister lights.
I hate the placement of the switches, since the pendant lights which I prefer are far away from the actual doorways into the kitchen. Meanwhile the cannister lights are on the switches near the doors.
I’m looking to do some clever “hackery” to make it so the switches by the doors control the pendant lights, if possible, but I don’t want to have to rewire things in the walls/ceilings.
Is there a good solution to this? I was looking at some Shelly switches, but I’m not sure those solve for the problem I wanna solve. I’m willing to swap out switches or wire in things near the lights, but trying to keep things simple as possible.
If you want to skip wiring all together, pick up two Aurora Dimmers and put Hue bulbs in all your sockets. It’s not the cheapest or most privacy friendly if you’re using their hub. But going this way, you can put the dimmer near the fixture you want to control, you have no wiring whatsoever, connection to HA, and you’re completely up and running inside of 30 minutes.
