Simple Wireless Switch

[PCustoms]

I have re-wired the whole house in the past few years. Since it was an unplanned, evolving project I missed a few "nice ta haves", such as a switch for undercabinet lights.

I can get a switch in, but it won't make sense with the kitchen layout. With all the sprayfoam and blow in its a PITA to run across the kitchen to the bank of switches.

I need a simple wireless switch. Doesn't have to (prefer not to) be wifi compatible. Would like it to look like a normal wall switch, and be great if I can add it to the current 3-gang box.

Lutron Caseta seems to be one of the better ones out there: https://www.casetawireless.com/

Is your undercabinet lights hardwired or do they plug in. if they are hardwired you would have to intercept the power and wire in the receiver for the wireless switch. These can be bulky. It would have to go in a box . This is just one style.

I believe this switch would need the wiring all in place already, these switches have a separate hand held remote that controls the switch which is hardwired in the circuit

There is a plug in dimmer module, if the undercabinet lights just plug in (and are dimmer capable).

Seems like some wireless switches actually need to tie into the neutral wire — you don’t have to run a switch wire. Then there is the question of power. Some use batteries. Some need to tie into the power wire. And some make their own power from flicking the switch. I have one light for which I would like a true wireless switch, meaning battery or switch powered but no wiring.

Do you already have under cabinet lights? Or are you adding them? Where are you thinking to get power?

Lights are not in, planning them now as I get ready to install counter and backsplash.

Ideally can pick up power of the counter outlets, and run a new box hidden in one of the cabinets. I want to add the remote switch across the kitchen, inside the box for all the other lights, that is on its own circuit. There is a neutral in the box.

What style switches are you trying to match? Rocker or Toggle. Got a pic?

Toggle. I just have standard leviton switches right now.

I could not find a Toggle wireless switch, I'm sure they might be out there. Leviton has what you need , BUT they are Rocker style. Might have to change to those for your other switches.
I would call Leviton & Lutron and see if they have 1

I use the Z-wave product for outside lights. we are up to 6 at this time. Wife loves being able to turn the lights on before we get home.
