Re: 2 Way 2 gang wifi lighting with old & new wiring

Good question. The reason is that our phones and Chromecast remote that can all do the voice activation are either usually upstairs or locked (I may make the phone automatically unlock at home).

Re: 2 Way 2 gang wifi lighting with old & new wiring
