Daily Home Renovation Tips每日家裝修秘訣

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.我們在以前的文章在這一系列我們所描述的困境在我們的洗衣房，讓我們只有一個長城開關，位於大門的主要走廊，為上限輕。 We wanted a second wall switch to be installed by the door on the other end of the laundry room leading to the garage.我們希望第二次牆切換到安裝的大門的另一端，該洗衣房，導致車庫。

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，與我們的翻修費用超出我們的預算，我們沒有資金電工來在做他/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.也沒有我們有耐心，為打破和修理drywall安裝一條線從天花板輕到對面牆上。

We came across a product by Leviton Manufacturing Company, Inc. called the Anywhere Switch.我們碰到一個產品由leviton製造公司，公司所謂的任何地方開關。 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.這個工具包包括兩個光壁開關，一個是連接到電線連接到天花板輕與無線組成部分和第二，可安裝任何地方的50英尺，它沒有連接到任何的電線。

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.美是第二個開關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連接的電線。 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，當我是測試它，我什舉行了它在我手中，正如我走到了洗衣房，從家庭室，現在仍然拒絕就上限輕。 What a wonderful device for the physically challenged members of our population who use a walker or wheelchair to use in a home.什麼是美好的裝置提供專為殘障人士的成員我們的人口誰使用沃克或坐輪椅的使用在一個家。 This just opens up all kinds of flexibility and possibilities.這只是打開了所有種的靈活性和可能性。

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.現在，牆上的開關，那就是連接到現有的電線，以取代目前長城開關（右側在下面的圖片） ，它包含在背部，無線組件，以及作為一個薄的黑色電線，那就是坑從該單位內的牆上。

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.第二牆開關在左側，在上述圖片是什麼可以放在任何地方的50英尺，而不是連接到任何的電線。 You do need to install 4 AAA batteries which do not come with the package.你需要安裝四AAA電池，其中不來與方案。 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.通知在下面的圖片，衣袖隨之而來的單位是包含一個對AAA電池，每個都是假定，以減少干擾之間的無線信號。

Now, as far as the installation itself, it should be straight forward.現在，據安裝本身，它應該是直著。 I mean, I am no electrician and learned a long time ago not to play with wires.我的意思是，我並沒有電工和學到了在很久以前沒有發揮的電線。 Yet, I have from time to time replace a wall light switch in other houses.不過，我有不時更換牆光開關在其他房子。 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.而當我跟銷售協理，在商店我購買了這套工具由我告訴他我的顯著缺乏經驗，在做這些事情，他向我保證，沒有什麼獨特的關於此產品從安裝的角度相比，定期'或'傳統'長城開關。

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，由於發生在每個人都從時間，以時間（和我來說，這似乎與經常性的頻率） ，缺乏產品知識，多銷售聯營公司從零售商店，缺乏適當的安裝說明對產品包裝以及內部安裝指示插入來自產品包裝，也缺乏產品資料，製造商自己的網站上的所有陰謀，把什麼應該有一個1小時的工作在最，甚至對我來說，變成了5小時的馬拉松。

I’ll tell you about it in our next article in this series.我告訴你有關它在我們的下篇文章，在這一系列。
