In the Belgian rules you need to draw a 1-wire simplified schematic ("schéma unifilaire") and a location plan ("plan de position") with symbols specified in the code (RGIE / AREI). A copy of these two very very useful documents have to be present in the consumer unit. It makes finding which circuit feeds what sooooooo easy. I'm surprised there is nothing similar in UK...

An over looked item is to make sure the house wifi router has the 5GHz disabled. Pare with 2.4GHz frequency. Once you are sure the installation is functioning you can enable the 5GHz side of the wifi. Just a suggestion, it may solve your problems.

@EsotericArctos 8 ай бұрын

This should not affect Lutron as Lutron pairs to its own hub and then is hard wired to the router. It might cause issues with Aurora, but Aurora was paired and then just flakey, so would be that way regardless of 5GHz setting. Also, as a note, the disabling 5GHz is only valid if both networks have the same name. A lot of people still have them separated :)

@MatthewGeier Жыл бұрын

I inherited at Lutron system at a site I look after (a nonprofit org). So I contact them asking for the programming software. They wouldn't give me the activation code as I had not undergone their training. All we want to do is put a delay on the external lights so you can hit off and get out and lock the gate before being plunged into darkness. We have no idea who did the original installation and the club doesn't have the funds to pay for alterations anyway, certainly when its own members have appropriate trade licenses. Probably wouldn't have got far without access o the original project files anyway. 'vendor' or 'supplier' lock-in is one of my pet hates. All these 'smart' systems that depend on the vendor maintaining a 'cloud' service to run it all worry me. The vendor disappears, 'changes direction', is bought out, etc and a pile of smart kit you have ceases to be smart.

Politely, I do not understand why house lighting has to be controlled remotely. It's an over complication of a simple function. Lighting is a very creative and complex area, but it doesn't need signal feeds to a centralised control box, especially in these days of LEDs with very low current demands. I really do not want to call out an electrician to work out why my lights won't turn on, because the control unit has failed. I value my life whilst tackling a staircase ; hopefully not in darkness. Life's a stage, but not my pad.

There are a lot of things that aren't necessary but are nice to have. Paintings on walls, a fountain in your garden ... programmable lightning. If you have a big fancy house why not change the feel at the touch of a button to alter the settings on a number of lights in one go? Even in my tiny house there is a look I can achieve in one room by turning off a main light and turning on 4 smaller lights. 5 switches for one look. You don't need programmable lighting but also you don't need a fancy car and lots of people have those!

@tullysuk Жыл бұрын

I’m not a sparky, but when we were doing an extension I noticed the builder was using Aurora downlighters so had him source me some Aurora smart dimmers as they were the only retro-fit smart dimmer modules I’d seen and I knew they were awkward to get hold of retail. When they were installed, first problem was the pole size on the Aurora dimmer was slightly smaller than that of the GET dimmers we were using (which were stainless steel) so I stuck with white plastic dimmer knobs on stainless steel fittings. Realised quickly that I needed an Aurora hub that I managed to get hold of, but like you it kept loosing connection. Eventually managed to lock myself out of my account for the hub and try as I might I couldn’t get the password reset to work. In the end they ended up in the eBay box and I went to Hue and Innr.

Hi Guy, another great video. I have had the exact same experience with the A0ne system. I am based in the CI and spent a load of money going to one of Aurora's training sessions on the south coast of the UK. On the very first install, it went all wrong, controllers would not pair with the Hub, and would not mesh with each other. This was on a very nice external lighting system so no obstacles to that would block signals. To cut a long story short Aurora made every excuse under the sun saying it was not their product and refused to accept liability. It was so bad that they would not pair or mesh reliably more than 2m. That job cost me thousands to put right, which I did using Loxon air products. I have to say have been absolutely brilliant and worked first time and no further issues. Keep up the good work guys.

Interesting to see how home automation is done in the UK. I live in the US and for the most part I replaced all my wall switches with Zigbee or Zwave variants and in some cases I installed smart bulbs (LiFX) behind switches with the relay disabled so the switch can programmatically turn the light on/off instead of cutting power to the bulbs. As a principle, I do not modify hardwiring as the house must function regardless of home automation being up or down. I also do not like buying into systems that use their own hub as you end up with tons of hubs. I have over 300 devices and they are all controlled by one box running Home Assistant! Love it!

At one time I used the Lutron, but you have a Hub and are limited to one booster, in larger homes in the US that can be problematic. I switched everything to the Leviton System as no hub or booster is need each switch connects to the wireless router independently, or Mesh Wireless networks in larger homes. You never struggle to get a switch to operate due to weak signals and they can be connected to all major Smart Home Systems or simply use their App... And with their new Load Centers each Breaker can be controlled from the same App and you can know at any given time the amount current being drawn on that circuit ...

I stuck with Aone for far too long, been through numerous smart hubs which failed and required the complete re-pairing of the entire property - when you're on your third warranty hub its a little annoying! Anyway, I've moved on to the Ener-J kinetic wifi switch system, doesn't quite do everything lutron or Aone did (at least when Aone was working correctly!) but as its wifi based there isn;t one hub to go down! Also I heard on the wholesaler counter that Aone is next for the chop if Aurora's position doesn't improve.

@JurassicJungle Жыл бұрын

Very interesting so watch. I am just about to start a large project (for me anyway) with complete rewire. I have played with home automation for the last 20+ years but this is my opportunity to get it right. I like the idea of Loxone as so many other systems integrate so poorly with each other but several people have suggested picking best of breed like Lutron for lighting, Heatmiser for heating etc. These modern systems need both software and electrical skills so I wonder if I am being advised by people based on their comfort zone when the best solution needs hybrid skills. It could be an expensive mistake either way.

@lukecraft1265 Жыл бұрын

I wouldnt use disparate system as you lose the benefits of automation. Solid choices are Loxone, Lutron, Knx etc but can get quite costly / not necessarily quick and easy to program and commision subject to complexity. Another serious and high quality contender is Domintell, Belgian designed and manufactured. Its predominantly a hardwired serial bus based system as many are with a good selection of keypads / user interfaces / touch screens, many with integral temperature or environmental sensors. So for example a small touch screen can control lighting / heating / air conditioning. Major advantage over others is simple to configure using a drag and drop software environment so can be maintained by end user if required. Can use standard protocols, Dali, dmx, modbus (interface with more complex hvac equipment etc). Good quality phase dimmers. Most modules have dip switch manual overrides. Integrates well with doorbird and ip cameras. I recently designed and specified a system for a 430m2 new build in Essex, client very pleased. Company has been around for 30 years, I plan on using it in my own new build as knx.seems a bridge to far in terms of time and cost. If you need complex plc functionality I would offload to a dedicated plc or ddc and interface via modbus but highly unlikely to be needed. Future automation panels work very well, only reliable / durable way of installing is to wire all modules in tri rated to din terminal blocks, wago spring clamp very good, make sure very thing is labeled correctly via printable shrink wrap. I have seen some terrible home automation installations where installer try to use t+e inside the panels!!! Screw terminals coming loose etc... Make sure the manufacturer specified bus cable is used and serial bus wiring topology is adhered to be installers.

@nickstocker4834 Жыл бұрын

Have been installing Loxone for nearly 10 years. It’s an incredibly reliable system. It integrates with KNX, Dali to name but a few. We do new builds or major renovations and have had very few issues over the years. It’s all down to the installation being done properly in the first place. It seems completely mad in this day and age to have 230v twin and earth running to metal switches which offer very little functionality with the additional risk of electric shock when a single cat cable can be ran to a switch position which can control heating, lighting, shading, audio.

Not only was it crap and didn’t work, when I eventually got it to work even the LED strip that should have been red turned out to be green, the blue never worked, and the orange was just appalling. Spoke to their tech support and they couldn’t understand it either but didn’t offer any kind of solution. I wanted to try it as I was rolling it out for my clients, i’m glad I tried it first! Crap product but more annoyingly I was left with all the kit as the wholesaler wouldn’t accept it back as they brought it in and it was classed as used. So not great all around.

I have been specing Lutron for lighting and I have never had an issue. granted you could probably get the other ones to work with a hub system like hubitat and make it all wireless. as long as the lighting has some type of zigbee or homekit or the likes to connect to the hubitat. had some juno lighting shit can lights that could not pair more than 5 fixture per wifi point. so I had to engineer a way to make them compatible with more devices per wifi point, that was going to the hubitat which can take something like 120 lights or something. has superior control and fine tuning ability. you can even custom make software drivers for the lights if you wanted to. programming startup routines and such is a breeze with hubitat.

When remodeling we put the entire lighting on a DALI bus and control it over KNX. Robust as hell and still works when all the attached „smart stuff“ fails.

You are right. That is the professional way of doing things. This is not.

Lutron is a professional system, it’s used by integrators in the states.

@syproful Жыл бұрын

@@Etacovda63 You are right. However that's like saying a system integrator using Crestron or Control 4 or RTI would have to use a smartphone app to deploy. While the RF 434 is a smart and robust choice. The setup screams DIY. Homekit is simply not used in highend applications. This is ofcourse a great choice to fix something or in a semi remodel. Is kinda a funny because here in Belgium we have a company Basalte which makes highend KNX and design equipment. The reality is that to cater to the US market, also they need to support Lutron.

@@syproful some misunderstanding there! This is Lutron RA2 select which is 434MHz in the US or 868MHz in the EU and UK. The switches talk directly to the dimmers or via the Lutron controller for some scenes. HomeKit is just an option for integrating with the controller if the customer wants that extra option. Only real problem is the cost over here, especially the Picos remotes. They are a fraction of the price in the US.

I've not used these lutron or smart lighting systems that use apps transmitter/receiver wireless controllers etc so cannot really comment on how good they are but I'd say that suitable conductors for connections of all components and accessories within an electrical system are required. A switch operating a load(light) without copper maybe be 'smart' but is it good?

I changed all my gu10 lamps for Ikea smart bulbs and zigbee switches , took me about 20 minutes, no fiddling around with drivers. End result was exactly the same but hell of a lot cheaper .

Why would you recommend and then install a system that you've not installed and properly used before? I would have set it up in my own home to road test it first. There are pros and cons of each HA system. Intermittent connectivity is my pet peeve. Sometimes it's the fault of the installation and sometimes it's just not a completely reliable technology.

The power of social media presence. Bet Aurora are kicking themselves now, wish manufacturers would take feedback from electricians more seriously so they can better their product or service. Currently having a similar nightmare with Givenergy 🤦🏼‍♂️

Its great to see a company recognizing they made a mistake and are willing , able, and trusted by the customer, to not only fix the problem but to give give an improved service by replacing technology which is not working with one that will work. Having said that, that lighting system looks unbelievably complex. My gripe with all "smart " technology is the big difference between what a customer thinks they are getting and what is delivered and how its delivered by the technology, and I'm not pointing a finger at Artisan Electrics, far from it , they have done fantastic for this customer. It sometime seems that some smart lighting systems are over complex for a lot of users and what happens when internet goes down, when wi-fi fails etc? I do think 110v appliances in a UK house is a disaster waiting to happen, from a customer point of view. What about servicing, guarantees? And guys, JCC downlighters pop in and out very easy, but you were probably stuck with what was there before you arrived. Great video, great customer service

Good business approach but we have an Aurora system which performs very well, albeit in a single large room space.

@pseudonymity0000 Жыл бұрын

I think the main question is, Why did the Aurora not work properly? It uses the zigbee standard that is backed by Amazon, Samsung, Huawei, Qualcomm, Toshiba and more. Did the mesh network brake between the hub and the switch's that were having problems? Is there radio frequency interference in the area that clashed with the zigbee protocol? May be worth playing around with the units you removed (they belong to the company now after all) and do some fault finding and diagnostics. I'm basically saying don't be so quick to write it off, because there may be an external factor at play here, and the stars aligned in that particular setup.
