Wireless controlled relay

[RF Lighting]

Hello.

I’ve been to look at a job which has a decent control set up for the car park and external lighting.

There is a second car park to the rear of the building which has lighting currently controlled by a photocell only.

They would like the rear car park to also be switched by the main controller so it’s not lit all night for energy saving purposes.

It’s an absolute pig of a run to try and get a cable between the two points, so I was wondering if anyone can recommend some sort of wireless relay setup that could receive a mains input from the existing controller and switch a relay at the remote location.

It’s approximately 50 meters away in a straight line but through maybe 7 walls including two external walls so quite a harsh route for a radio signal.

I’m really not a fan of wireless anything but if someone knows of a good solution I’d be interested to look in to it.

rated at 500/100m Initially ~200m line of site and it worked like a charm. Customer wanted a second light, the spark on the build fitted a second RX which was unreliable, however at 7-800m. I moved the switch to the side of the 200mm metal gatepost making it line of site (from the front where it was hidden from the new RX ) solved the problem.

Very easy to pair the units and so far have proved to cohabit with the plethora of other services on site.
Their Tech help is brilliant too although they reckoned it shouldn't work over the excess distance.
