Daily Home Renovation Tips每日家装修秘诀

In our previous article in this series we described the dilemma in our laundry room whereby we had only one wall switch, located by the door to the main hallway, for the ceiling light.我们在以前的文章在这一系列我们所描述的困境在我们的洗衣房，让我们只有一个长城开关，位于大门的主要走廊，为上限轻。 We wanted a second wall switch to be installed by the door on the other end of the laundry room leading to the garage.我们希望第二次墙切换到安装的大门的另一端，该洗衣房，导致车库。

And, with our renovation costs exceeding our budget we did not have the funds for an electrician to come in and do her / his handiwork.和，与我们的翻修费用超出我们的预算，我们没有资金电工来在做他/她的手工。 Nor did we have the patience for breaking and repairing drywall to install a line from the ceiling light to the opposite wall.也没有我们有耐心，为打破和修理drywall安装一条线从天花板轻到对面墙上。

We came across a product by Leviton Manufacturing Company, Inc. called the Anywhere Switch.我们碰到一个产品由leviton制造公司，公司所谓的任何地方开关。 This kit includes two light wall switches, one that is attached to the wires connected to the ceiling light with a wireless component and a second that can be installed anywhere within 50 feet that it not connected to any wires.这个工具包包括两个光壁开关，一个是连接到电线连接到天花板轻与无线组成部分和第二，可安装任何地方的50英尺，它没有连接到任何的电线。

The beauty is that the second switch can be placed anywhere within 50 feet of the first, at any height and not require any connection to wires.美是第二个开关可以放在任何地方的50英尺的第一，在任何高度和不需要任何连接的电线。 Heck, when I was testing it I even held it in my hand as I walked to the laundry room from the family room and it still turned on the ceiling light.赫克，当我是测试它，我什举行了它在我手中，正如我走到了洗衣房，从家庭室，现在仍然拒绝就上限轻。 What a wonderful device for the physically challenged members of our population who use a walker or wheelchair to use in a home.什么是美好的装置提供专为残障人士的成员我们的人口谁使用沃克或坐轮椅的使用在一个家。 This just opens up all kinds of flexibility and possibilities.这只是打开了所有种的灵活性和可能性。

Now, the wall switch that is to be connected to the existing wires to replace the current wall switch (on the right in the picture below), contains on the back the wireless components as well as a thin black wire that is to hang down from the unit inside the wall.现在，墙上的开关，那就是连接到现有的电线，以取代目前长城开关（右侧在下面的图片） ，它包含在背部，无线组件，以及作为一个薄的黑色电线，那就是坑从该单位内的墙上。

The second wall switch on the left in the above picture is what can be placed anywhere within 50 feet, not connected to any wires.第二墙开关在左侧，在上述图片是什么可以放在任何地方的50英尺，而不是连接到任何的电线。 You do need to install 4 AAA batteries which do not come with the package.你需要安装四AAA电池，其中不来与方案。 Notice in the picture below, the sleeves that come with the unit which are to contain a pair of AAA batteries each which are supposedly to reduce the interference between the wireless signal.通知在下面的图片，衣袖随之而来的单位是包含一个对AAA电池，每个都是假定，以减少干扰之间的无线信号。

Now, as far as the installation itself, it should be straight forward.现在，据安装本身，它应该是直着。 I mean, I am no electrician and learned a long time ago not to play with wires.我的意思是，我并没有电工和学到了在很久以前没有发挥的电线。 Yet, I have from time to time replace a wall light switch in other houses.不过，我有不时更换墙光开关在其他房子。 And when I talked to the sales associate in the store where I purchased this kit from I told him of my significant lack of experience in doing such things and he assured me that there was nothing unique about this product from an installation perspective compared to ‘regular’ or ‘traditional’ wall switches.而当我跟销售协理，在商店我购买了这套工具由我告诉他我的显着缺乏经验，在做这些事情，他向我保证，没有什么独特的关于此产品从安装的角度相比，定期'或'传统'长城开关。

Unfortunately, as happens to everyone from time to time (and to me it seems with regular frequency), lack of product knowledge of multiple sales associates from the retail store, lack of proper installation instructions on the product packaging as well as within the installation instruction insert that came from the product packaging, and also lack of product information on the manufacturer’s own web site all conspired to turn what should have been a 1 hour job at the most, even for me, turned into a 5 hour marathon.不幸的是，由于发生在每个人都从时间，以时间（和我来说，这似乎与经常性的频率） ，缺乏产品知识，多销售联营公司从零售商店，缺乏适当的安装说明对产品包装以及内部安装指示插入来自产品包装，也缺乏产品资料，制造商自己的网站上的所有阴谋，把什么应该有一个1小时的工作在最，甚至对我来说，变成了5小时的马拉松。

I’ll tell you about it in our next article in this series.我告诉你有关它在我们的下篇文章，在这一系列。
