If you want to add an outside switch for the lights, then it's much cheaper to change the light switch to a Lutron Caseta Claro on off switch or a Lutron Caseta Diva dimmer switch. The Claro requires a neutral wire, the Diva doesn't require the neutral wire.
You add the Lutron wireless switch to the changed out light switch. You'll also need a Lutron hub to connect it to your router. Then you could have an outdoor light switch without running power wires. You can also control the lights with your cellphone. You can also schedule the lights to turn on at sunset and off at sunrise.
I changed out four outdoor light switches to the Lutron switches for the sunset to sunrise automatic switching. Set it one time, then it follows the sunset and sunrise times perfectly, even with standard and daylight time changes. You can also shift the time before and after the sunset and sunrise times. It's programmed to the sunset and sunrise times for your zip code, so those times are accurate.
There's a lot of people that manually turn on and off their outdoor lights. The outdoor lights end up being turned off at night, and turned on running during the daylight hours. |
