RE: Lightwave RF...

I have had a good experience of LightwaveRF basic plugin modules and 1 and
=
2 gang light dimmers (stainless fronts, some mounted in metal back boxes,
s=
o no RF issues). No experience of heating controls.

=20

I started with X10 plugin modules, they became unreliable (due to too many
=
switch mode PSUs in household) so replaced with byebye modules when the
bye=
bye modules were discounted/discontinued. The byebye modules slowly died
(d=
ue to a faulty capacitor), and became un responsive / un reliable, so I
rep=
laced with LightwaveRF modules. I have the Lightwave =E2=80=98basic=E2=80=
=99 plugin modules, I recall =C2=A310 for a pack of 3 was cheapest I paid
a=
bout 3 years ago.

=20

I also have the LightwaveRF 1 and 2 gang  dimmers (old version, pre
Megaman=
) running dimmable LEDs (4W GU10 LedHut) , need at least 3 LEDs in a
circui=
t, running for about 2 years with no issues.

=20

Also the WiFI link running schedules/scenes/sequence and remote access
from=
iPhone.

=20

No near terms plans to replace the LightWaveRF, no units have failed
(touch=
wood :) )

Damn shame if so - given the range of products available ... Reasonably
pri=
ced plug in modules, light switches, controlled sockets, radiator TRVs,
boi=
ler relays, inline relays and dimmers etc.

I see a bit of love for Philips hue but there's no functionality there
beyo=
