Re: remote light control

[Simon McCaughey <simonmcc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Tim,

That looks like an almost out of the box solution for me - so my latest
thinking is that I want the lights in the garage to come on along with
existing back lights.

I can wire a relay into the existing lighting circuit, so that its contacts
close when the lights are on. Then feed the closed contacts of the relay
into one of those powerflash modules, then buy a AD10 for the consumer unit
in the garage, and also feed a momentary switch into it in the garage too,
that means I can control the lights from either the house or the garage,
problem solved!

Thanks!


Simon
