NISTRON Smart Home - Lights Switches And More

WHAT IS THIS?

The NISTRON Smart Home System offers unprecedented flexibility in both deployment and control of your settlement lighting and machinery:

Individually control the lights in each room? Aye. Switch multiple lights in a single room? Yep. Have many buttons control the stairwell lights from every floor? No problem. Need to control a wired machine from a remote spot? Check. And all of this without a tangled mess of wires crisscrossing the place? YES!

The NISTRON Smart Home System has got you covered!

WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?

The mod currently adds 19 new NetLink/GCP enabled Smart Devices in 4 new subcategories to your workshop build menu:

1x Snappable and wirelessly powered Smart Button, for easy control of other NISTRON Smart Home devices.

SHOW ME HOW IT WORKS!

The basic premise is that Smart Devices always receive power from their shared power grid. Each device then individually engages or disengages, by networked control from Smart Buttons. This means you can setup very complex lighting systems without running any extra wires at all:

For most Smart Devices, there are just two settings to configure: Group name and Channel number. It's extremely simple to set up.

But despite this apparent simplicity, the NISTRON Smart Home System is also quite powerful: Make sure you read all the extra documentation below.

Oh and by the way: This mod integrates really well with my Electrical and Electronics Engineering mod. You should check it out!
