Re: Appliance turning Appliance Module on

["Robin Edwards" <robin@xxxxxxx>]

Something in the wiring diagram interests me.  The switch on our tumble
dryer is a momentary switch (if I interpret what I've read correctly). Note
2 shows something t  be removed for momentary operation.... What does that
mean.... can finally automate my dryer or am I just t  hopeful?  SWMBO gets
up in middle of night t  trigger dryer.  If this fixes that problem big
tick
for HA.

(Dryer is a Creda Condensair, and whilst it is good, its one downfall is
the
on/off switch).

regards, robin
