Default Switching two appliances from one four-core cable

However, what I would probably do in such a scenario would be to
send a single permanently live feed down the garden. Tap off this
through FCU and remote control switches for the fountain and lights.
I would use X10 switches which carry the control signalling over the
mains. This would enable you to easily add other things in the
future, and you could install a regular waterpoofed 13A socket in
the garden too, which I find extremely useful.


Sounds interesting! Can you get X10 switches with a fair modicum of weather
protection - or are they only intended for in-door use?

Any suggestions of specific kit?
