Lighting system radio NooliteProduced by the Belarusian company "Nootehnika" allows you to manage any workload by means of switches, placed in any places (switches are powered by lithium batteries and simply glued to the wall with the help of double-sided tape). Power blocks are placed in receptacles or chandeliers. In addition, you can control the load from your computer or smart phone via a special gateway. All system components can be purchased separately (from 33 Noolite model switches and panels and 21 models of power units), in this case, before use need to adjust the interaction of control and the control, and you can buy ready-made kits, in which everything is configured. A set of three power units, two switches and Ethernet-called gateway "Smart House" in 1 hour. Mini Kit.

The first switch is configured to control three power units. Each of the three sensors, switches the load (with a short touch) and adjusts the brightness (long touch). A second switch controls the second and the third power unit and its button scripts immediately disables all three power supply. Of course, the circuit functions can be reconfigured.


Rear flat switches. They are mounted on double sided tape or screwed into a standard box under the switch. Feed switches from the lithium battery CR2032, which lasts for 2-3 years.


Ethernet-Gateway - it is actually the same RADIO controlled on a local network. The antenna is used to transmit the signal to the power units, Wi-Fi at no gateway.


Gateway behind.


I have already told how the Noolite system (Wireless switch NooLite, New switches Noolite), So I will tell only about managing through the gateway.

The default gateway address is 192.168.0.168. If your home network is working in a different range of addresses, have to first connect the gateway directly to computer, temporarily changing the address of the computer to something like 192.168.0.1 and set the address of the gateway such as necessary.

Web-based gateway on a computer looks great, as adapted for mobile devices.


But everything on the smartphone-friendly. Gateway settings.


Setting timers and groups.


load management through web-based interface.


To control the smartphone is more convenient to install Noolite application (there are for Android, iPhone and Windows Phone). The management interface in the application is as follows.


After each setting through the web-interefeysa need to click "Update" in the settings app to load the device and group names, and other changes to it. The application allows you to manage the system with smart clock Pebble (clock transmit commands to your smartphone over Bluetooth, but he already controls the gateway via Wi-Fi).


gateway control is possible only in the local network, so manage it via mobile internet will not work - the smartphone must be connected via Wi-Fi to the same router as the gateway.

The gateway only transmits the command, but does not know how to take them, so the application does not display when the light is switched on or off other switches. It only remembers the state in which the power blocks are installed gateway itself.

The gateway continuously consumes 1.4 W (4 rubles per month when the cost of electricity of 4 rubles per 1 kWh).

A set of "smart house 1 hour. Mini Kit "costs $ 225.7 (15799 rubles as of April 2016). This is exactly the same, as are all of its components (not counting the 12 Wago connectors). Of course, it is convenient that everything is pre-configured and can be connected and use it, but I would prefer to buy the components separately - with a much more comfortable new switches and that those power units that are needed.

What sways gateway, it may well be that after the first couple of weeks it will be used solely in order to show off to friends, that the light in you is controlled from your smartphone. However, if done on the basis of Noolite large light control system (for example, a country house) can be useful and timers and control from a smartphone, for example, to turn on the lights in the courtyard of being on street.

Another set "Smart House" 1 hour - Maxi Kit for $ 379 includes Ethernet-gateway, six power units, three switches, motion detectors, temperature and humidity. Separately, you can buy a light sensor. A system with such sensors allows for control of the motion of light, dim ambient light home at night, control of ventilation and air humidification.
