Hello,
I am currently renovating an old house.
Two rooms are being combined into one large room.
In this now large room, there are two lamps that should be dimmable.
The lamps should be regular lamps, not smart home lamps or similar.

I am considering installing a wireless dimmer directly at each lamp and then placing suitable wireless switches at the doors.
The switches can/should be battery-powered (stick-on). A remote control would also be useful, allowing the lamps to be controlled from the couch.

Could you help me by suggesting which systems or manufacturers would be suitable for this?

Thank you very much for your help.

I have had good experience with eltako, others here prefer Shelly. Try searching for "universal dimmer switch with wireless control" from Eltako, you will find everything there.

I have a different question: Have you already decided on the lamps or do you have some in mind?

If you want lamps with remote control anyway, there are nowadays countless options that come with dimming functions and remote controls included.

Hue could be an option. It is somewhat more expensive but very user-friendly. Easy to expand, and it covers all functions. In general, there are quite a few providers nowadays. Even hardware stores now offer their own brands for this.

So the lamps should be standard incandescent or LED bulbs. This way, I stay independent and can use multiple switches, etc.

Are there also regular dimmer modules available for Hue? Or do the wireless switches only work with Hue bulbs?
