RE: Byron HA stuff

It depends on the what the SMS interface turns out to be, as it might
be
hackable.

The modules are pretty much what I'm after, but if there isn't any external
interface I'm back to looking at the (vastly more expensive) Rako stuff.

Huddersfield has a large display of this in the electrical aisle.

ATM there seems no form of external automation interface which is a real
shame as the in ceiling dimmers would be very useful for some areas I have
difficulty rewiring.
A wireless/RS232 transceiver would be great !
