Hello everyone,
I am currently finalizing the electrical plan and have discussed the installation with our electrician. The electrical work is scheduled to start on Monday, and I still have the opportunity to make a few minor changes.
We have planned to use wireless actuators from eltako FJ62NP-230V for the electric roller shutters. For some wall lights, we have also planned wireless actuators. Now I have the following questions:
1: If I install the wireless actuator behind a light switch inside the flush-mounted box, is it guaranteed that both control methods (manual switching and wireless switching) will work independently? Is it possible that manually switching off the light fixture could disable the wireless function because the circuit is interrupted? The electrician always referred to it as a "switch," but I keep reading about "pushbuttons" online.
Unfortunately, I expected more from the electrical installation, but the general contractor’s electrician looked puzzled when I mentioned that "everything should be wired star-shaped to the distribution board." Our additional cost estimate is also much higher than expected, so we will stick to conventional wiring, which I will then expand with decentralized switching actuators.

I would like to be able to dim the lights later on.
It is important for us that we can still operate the switches/push buttons manually but also retrofit wireless controls later, so there must be enough installation space for wireless actuators and the wireless protocols should allow remote switching—even if the light has been manually turned off with the switch.
