2. Wireless light switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_light_switch

   Wireless light switches eliminate the wire from the light to the switch location. This is useful in remodelling situations where new wiring can be a hassle. Rather than tearing down a wall to gain access to the wires, a wireless switch can be used. This avoids any need to access wires and makes remodelling fast and simple.

3. Smart plug - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_plug

   A smart plug is a power plug and socket (also known as a wall plug, outlet, or electrical connector) which can be fitted between power cords and sockets to function as a remote-controlled power switch. As such, smart plugs can be used to make "dumb" electrical equipment smart, and thereby enable such devices for home automation or building ...

4. Insteon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insteon

   Insteon is an integrated dual-mesh (formerly referred to as "dual-band") network that combines wireless radio frequency (RF) and a building's existing electrical wiring, [7] in which all devices are peers and each device independently transmits, receives, and repeats messages.

5. Light switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_switch

   This "quick break" technology is still in use in almost every ordinary light switch in the world today, numbering in the billions, as well as in many other forms of electric switch. The toggle light switch was invented in 1916 by William J. Newton. [2] As a component of an electrical wiring or home wiring system, the installation of light ...

6. X10 (industry standard) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X10_(industry_standard)

   X10 wireless devices send data packets that are nearly identical to the NEC IR protocol used by many IR remotes, and a radio receiver then provides a bridge which translates these radio packets to ordinary X10 power line control packets. The wireless protocol operates at a frequency of 310 MHz in the U.S. and 433.92 MHz in European systems.

7. Multiway switching - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_switching

   In building wiring, multiway switching is the interconnection of two or more electrical switches to control an electrical load from more than one location.A common application is in lighting, where it allows the control of lamps from multiple locations, for example in a hallway, stairwell, or large room.
