Well explained thank you. I'm sold on these lights now for my bungalow. Love the feature of changing the light from warm to cool and having the pir wired on a different circuit.
Great video. Love my garden lighting always nice to see new technology coming through into industry and making our lives more versatile and expandable.
My only reservation with all this smart stuff, is the fact that these manufacturers tend to drop support as time goes on, for example Phillips. But some nice ideas, and Ansell stuff is pretty good.
I agree ☝️ it’s a risk for opting for one manufacturers smart technology. The good news on this one is it’s built on a Casambi platform which has been around for a good few years now and lots of manufacturers are adopting it. Also common standards are developing - check out our video on Connected Home over IP - czcams.com/video/X-nOm3HCc-c/video.html

Just signed up to do a degree in software engineering. When it starts to go wrong, fault finding is gonna be a nightmare. I’m going to be worth a fortune 😂😂
Great video👍 how did you run the cable from the wiska box to light on the post...im in the process of installing some and hate drilling them post.thanks.
Great video... regarding the concrete post, mine feel like that they are made out of granite! Are really hard to drill into, was using a normal hammer drill. Maybe an sds drill?
Amazing setup, thanks for sharing. Just one question regarding the feed from the mains, If you spurred of a socket to get the supply was this fused down to 5amp for all the lights.
I've recently seen the Collingwood Smart System that works with the Zigbee System, which is the same system as Philips Hue. Have you guys managed to look at the Collingwood offering, as from what I can see its very competitively priced.
@@efixx so you wedged the cable between the fence and the concrete post? You must have drilled through the post to get a back entry hole on the angle to the light fitting. And avoided the re-bar somehow!
We did a luminaire replacement job with this system at the start of the year 3000 fittings swapped out. I found it quite good and easy retro-fit compared to a dali system you just need permanent power in most cases and the switching is wireless. But for domestic situations, you are nearly always better off to go zigbee or zwave more flexible, integrates with voice assistants (Alexa), and easy app control through the likes of smartthings.
Hi, I've recently come across your video as I'm looking to smart lights in my garden. The question I hope you can help with is do I need the outdoor control unit if I want to control say four bulkhead lights and a couple of up lighters? Can't I control Octo WiZ lamps direct from the Octo app? What's the purpose of the controller? Thanks
I've had a quick look again and there's zero markings on it, it looks similar but the terminals are a bit different. Contact your local electrical wholesaler they'll hook you up. 👍

It is very cool tech and makes the installation an absolute breeze!

Thanks Daniel, I'm really happy with the final results, it all looks great. 👍
Thank you Joe for this amazing review, gave me some inspiration of fitting smart lamps in my sisters garden !
2k, perfect for that swingers party in the evening :D
Great work Joe 👍🏻 Might have to give this one a crack...
Cheers Dan, it's clever tech that's for sure. 😁

this technology has been around for ten years now and is widely used in commercial premises. The whole of Harrods is set up in Casambi systems.
Great looking product 👍
It's good stuff Richard!
Great video Monty... I mean Joe
Very concise video Joe. That is an awesome system.
Thank you Joe, opened my eyes to a whole world of possibilities there, can you do a vid on the wiz stuff as well, if at all possible

Great info thanks 👍

Nice install, but no ferrules on the wiring? What would Gaz say.
I can promise you now I used ferrules on all the appropriate conductors, for the very reason you've stated! 😂
Great video... regarding the concrete post, mine feel like that they are made out of granite! Are really hard to drill into, was using a normal hammer drill. Maybe an sds drill?
I can answer my own question.... i used a dewat sds drill with a decent bit. It wasblike a hot knife through butter!
Amazing setup, thanks for sharing. Just one question regarding the feed from the mains, If you spurred of a socket to get the supply was this fused down to 5amp for all the lights.
You should experiment with some dim to warm GU10s

How did you get the mains from the wago box up the stump into the fitting safely
I installed a H07RN-F on the inside slot of the concrete fence post.

@@efixx Thanks for the Vids, I've picked up a lot of useful info through them 👍
Our pleasure!

Yes you can control the Wiz version via the app - see this example - czcams.com/video/b9KwelbDcpY/video.html
Nice. Was that a Shelly controller inside the main octo unit? How can you pursue these please?
I've had a quick look again and there's zero markings on it, it looks similar but the terminals are a bit different. Contact your local electrical wholesaler they'll hook you up. 👍
I dread to think how much that install cost
It was fairly reasonable actually. 👍
efixx give me a clue!?
Where can these fittings etc be purchased? Can't see anything on their site with regards to buying.
Several online wholesalers sell their stuff Rodger and check with your local electrical wholesaler. 👍
@@efixx thanks, will do.
You can also buy Casambi devices from Holders Components
Thanks
Nice system, nice price....?
Contact your local electrical wholesaler they'll be able to advise on prices. 👍
👍
