Re: Re: UK_Selfbuild Homeeasy HE203 question

Thanks.

The information was most uselful.

So it won't do what I want it to do.

Is there anything on the market that will connect up to an existing dimmer
than will control a remote control socket adapter?

Searching on google gives me nothing lots but nothing that will do what I
want.

Or could I dismantle a wireless dimmer and retro fit that to my existing
dimmer?

Thanks
