Remove light switch always on. Then restore the power at the breaker box. One is the light switch which turned on the light on my ceiling fan and the other was a knob where i could. What would i use to join the cables that is safe to do sothe lights will be controlled by voice phones and remotes. I wouldnt permanently remove that as its a good feature. Screw the cover into place to cover up the hole in the wall. Convert light switch to always on hey all.
There are different types but here is one model. I was replacing my ceiling fan light fixture in our master bedroom and the old one has a double switch on the wall. Just cover the switch so its not accidentally triggered or get a splitter and plug all of your things into the part of the switch that isnt turned on and off by the switch. If so you can just pull the switch out of the box remove the wires from it and connect the wires together not including the ground wire. Pull the switch out is it a single polr switch. If so turn power off and take the two wires off swich should be 2 blacks but not always the two wires on the screw take off and wirenut them together and then put switch back in for a dummy or get a blank plate to cover and turn breaker back on only prob if you have a power outage for a sec the lights are programed to stay on so you would have.
If the light switch has more than two terminals i recommend consulting an electrician. Replace the cover with a blank wall plate cover or put a blank insert in the existing cover where the light switch was. Dont remove the old switches at least until you get the hue lights working perfectly. Then the tv receptacle will always be on. If the old switches are removed you will have to place a removable blank cover plate on each box. Then instead of putting the switch back in the box just cover it with a blank cover.
Multiple terminals suggests more than one light switch is in play. These are normally marketed to folks with motion detecting security lights where the switch would have to be kept on 247 or for switches that control major appliances that you dont want to accidentally shut off our dishwasher for example has a shut off switch thats right next to the switch for the garbage disposalyikes. I am probably not using the exact right terminology here but here we go. Enter light switch guards. I think you can get a guard to keep the switch from being flipped. Tester101 aug 7 15 at 1910.
