RE: Bathroom pullswitch to X10 compatible

[Keith Doxey <ukha.diyha@xxxxxxx>]

Get a 2way Pull switch.

Costs a few pence more but you have Common, 1, 2

Common will be one side of the circuit and 1 or 2 will be the other.

<MURPHYS LAW>
You WILL pick the wrong one to start with and have to pull the cord to stop
the light dimming up and down, change to the other and it will be perfick
:-)

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.
