RE: X10 Modules

["Simon Brazier" <simon@xxxxxxx>]

Under normal circumstances then yes I'd do this, but as the socket is on
an external wall, the plan was to drill through the back of the socket
box, through the external wall and place an AWM2 in the backbox to control
the electricity supply to a garden light.

I was going to use the permanent live from the mains socket to run a
switched spur to the light, using the AWM2 as the switch.

Is it possible, or does anyone see any major flaws in my plan ?

Thanks,

Simon
