RE: Re: AWM2 2-way wiring problem

["Ian B" <Ian@xxxxxxx>]

I have a diagram from when I converted my two way kitchen lights to X10
using an LD11. If this is a similar unit I am more then happy to forward
it
across or put it on my web site. Let me know if you want a copy. It
uses
momentary switches though which I suspect you will have to go to.

OK, I just looked and it is already on my site www.mollyology.com then
my
house then Kitchen lights. Enjoy.
