Light switches.
I like the old kind. There's a position for off and and a position for on. Maybe a slider for a dimmer.
But now in my bedroom, the brightness is adjusted by holding down a single button. The intensity follows a slow triangle wave. You release the button at the desired time. That means if you just want the dimmest possible setting, you have to stand there for ~10 seconds and be subjected to the highest intensity brightness in the meantime.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoWhy do you tolerate that? "Old kind" light switches are plentiful, as are sliding dimmer, probably multiple kinds at local hardware stores and certainly online. Takes 10 minutes and a screwdriver and maybe a couple wire nuts to replace.
- recursive 5y agoBecause I don't think the old kind could communicate with my fancy-ass ceiling fan assembly? I'm actually not sure.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoYes, if you are currently using a remote for the ceiling fan/light assembly because you do not have a 3 conductor wire from the switch to the fan, then it would be impossible.
