Bear in mind that you'll need to use LD10 (with LD11 software) for this,
since the LW10 light switches don't support soft start. I simulate this in
my kitchen by using an LW10 dimmed to 0% which still constantly uses
electricity :-(

LD10's require a neutral connection and are supposed to be mounted on a DIN
rail. I've not heard of a quick decent way to get a neutral connection
without a serious rewire, which is out of my scope at the moment :-(

>(OK ... I first looked at HA and X10 to automate my screen and lighting
inmy
>home cinema but it soon moved on from that!)

Isn't it always the way :-) I started wanting remote control over bedroom
and living room lights, then got into Pronto etc :-)

Cheers
