The problem is, Tony was saying "When SWMBO hits the LW10U switch go
to
certain setting (use soft start)" which doesn't generate any X10.....
Just does the local switching. Your stuff will only work if its either
an LD11 or if SWMBO hits a remote RF/whatever switch beside the
LW10U..... Which just adds more problems to the WAF.... :S With a remote
switch, dimming to 0% most of the time and dimming up would work, but
with the LW10U it just wont go....!
