The product range consists of attractive and affordable dimmer switches, power sockets and thermostatic radiator valves, plus a large range of other innovative products, some of which are simple plug ‘n’ play and others that can be easily retrofitted by any competent DIYer.

Ratings and reviews

I am done with LightwaveRF! The app has always been appalling but the latest version is faulty. There is no way of setting an 'off' time for timers on the lights, (all I use it for). I can also no longer set up, delete or edit an event. All I want is for a light to switch on and off at times I want, and it is impossible. The whole system is going in the bin and I will replace it with something useful.

Timers won't turn off! I have six timers. I turn them on when I am on holiday and then select 'pause' when I get home. THAT IS SUPPOSED TO STOP THE TIMERS. Instead, I then get woken up by lights coming on in the house because the timers are still operating. The app says they are paused. I am totally fed up of this system and app now. Oh, and the app constantly stops working and has to be reopened.

Lightwave have broken it again. Can't turn my timers on from the app so have to log in to the web app. Then if I try turn them off it won't do it . Basic process is... turn on... refresh... still turned off...bang head on desk... log in to web app. It's really frustrating as you have to turn everthing off then back on in the web app to make sure it's in the state you want it.
