How to make zone lighting in the bedroom if a single-key switch is installed?

Hello! Happy New Year. Happiness, health 😁 The situation is this: we make stretch ceilings in the bedroom, I would like to make zone lighting - two groups of lamps and a central chandelier, but there is only one phase on the switch, the walls are already made, wallpaper is glued.

    Hello! You have several options.
    BIS 404 is a pulse relay. Other names for such a device are bistable or sectional relays. Instead of the usual switch, the “bell button" is used. This is a switch whose contacts are not fixed, just like on a call. Specifically, this model can control two groups of light by logic:
    The first press is group 1.
    The second press is group 2.
    Third press - group 1 + 2.
    Fourth press - the light is off.

    This will partially solve your problem, because you want to have 2 groups of lamps + a chandelier? It actually needs three switches in a classic circuit. Such a relay will not work for you, but I can’t find an analogue for 3 groups of lamps.

    Then the second solution is to use a radio relay. They come in different types:
    1. “Radio switch” - looks like a normal switch, just sticks to the wall, a 12V battery is installed in it (these are also used in radio calls). To him goes the radio module, on which the receiver itself and the relay are located. It is connected to a 220V network, lamps or groups of lamps are already connected to it. You can set as many of these switches as you like and turn on each lamp separately. Or buy a three-key switch - in fact, three such devices are combined in it and there are 3 radio modules. There are such models on aliexpress.
    2. Radio relay with remote control. The same thing only with the remote control - the disadvantage is that you can lose the remote control and sit without light 😊.
    These are logical options, in my opinion, "How to manage two or three groups of light without wiring and without opening the walls."
    You can short-circuit the wires in your switch or leave it as is - from it you can de-energize the radio modules. You yourself connect the radio modules to the wires that stick out from the ceiling, to which the chandelier used to connect, or what you had there!

      Tell me, what further logic does the relay have ... .. let's say we pressed the switch twice and left the light on for a while, after we then pressed the switch ... .. the light goes out or do we need to “go through” all the logic?

      Good afternoon! Could you give more details about the circuit and components of the option with a pulse relay? There is a similar task, and judging by the description, this option suits me perfectly. There is a 3-lamp chandelier connected to single-key switches, there is a need to turn on one, two or all three lamps.

        Good afternoon, but there are no components there - the relay itself and the push-button switches (they often have a bell on the button, such as a bell), they are also called “bell-shaped buttons” or “non-latching switches”. In general, go to the website of the manufacturer of these pulse relays - F&F Euroautomatics and look, there are a whole bunch of them and everyone has a slightly different logic of work, but in general they are similar. Maybe pick up straight even more ideal.
