Re: X10 light switch control - in layman's terms please :-)

["garygfx" <garygfx@xxxxxxx>]

Justin, nice idea! I'm all for bodgematic solutions if they're safe 
and look good, but I don't think I have the same bodging experiance 
as you yet. ;-) But I do think that modifying the LW10 in some way is 
an interesting solution, especially since my house is being decorated 
as I type.

Thanks,
Gary.
