RE: Bathroom pullswitch to X10 compatible

["Bird, Ian" <ian.bird@xxxxxxx>]

Very true about wifey. She was very upset about the kitchen light delay so
no lights at all - doesn't bear thinking about.

No idea after this whether it will be open or closed? The LD11s need an
open
contact that is closed momentarily. Very unfair question I know. I will
have
to pop into homebase or simialr and have a look/play.
