I'm trying to control the lights in my house by X10 but am confused
about what units I need and how complex it is to fit them. Please can
someone advise?

I have a mixture of single switched lights and two-way switched
lights around the house. The problems: I can't use the LW10 because
my other half says it's too big and ugly. Fair enough! The LM15 makes
the bulb too low down and won't fit any uplighters.

Is my best bet the AWM2? Can I use it even though my light switches
don't have a neutral wire? If I can use it then does this module fit
inside the existing light switch and do I need 2 modules if I have a
single light operated by 2 light switches?

If the AWM2 needs a neutral wire then are there any options left
please?

Thanks if anyone can help...
Gary.
