Hi Tony,

You MUST NOT put the two cables into the same box so I assume you are
fitting a twin box.

This MUST have a physical barrier between the two halves or you must used
two single boxes.

Feed the cables down in two chases and use the holes on the outside edges of
the boxes eg

                 
                 
                 
  ---------  ----------
                  
     LV   MAINS  
                  
                  
  ---------  ----------

I doubt you will suffer any interference but so long as you use conduit you
can always pull the cable out and replace it should you get problems. You
are only talking about a 4 fot drop anyway so its not like the cables are
running side by side for hundereds of feet.

Hi Keith,

thanks for that info, do you know of anything I could use to shield the 5v
cable? or is the whole idea a non-starter?

I can make do without the ir receivers going down the wall, but I'd really
like to have the switches.
A 5v cable switch attached to a VIOM module attached to the ha PC is going
to control the AD10/LD11 lights (thereby giving me a known status of the
lights when operated manually).
The 240v switch is a backup to give manual control of the units if the ha
system fails (and probably required to comply to some regulation or other?).

Many thanks
Tony T
