Well worth considering. I am glad I got my modules cheap since I am
very close to replacing all the mains sockets in the house now...

That would probably work very well. It would depend on what the
switch does on the WS10 (if it is momentary a standard switched
socket would not work correctly) but if the switch was the problem,
using an unswitched socket would work around this while also removing
local control.

Here is hoping Mike release the control unit on it's own.

Cool.

The address threw me for a while. I didn't realise the egroups
addresses still worked since I have been using the yahoo one for so
long. Ended up subscribing again then having to unsubscribe when I
realised :)
