push-to-start timer with two way switch
We have an outside passage light which is controlled by an outside
switch and an indoor switch - it can be switched on or off by either switch - I think this is called a 2-way switch? I'm fed up with the number of times the outside light is left on all night. Is it possible to get a switch which you can push to switch the light on, and which will automatically switch off say 5 minutes later. I'm sure I saw something like this many years ago - it was a circular button which you pushed in and it slowly moved outwards and switched the light off again after a couple of minutes. This sort of thing would be ideal, but I'm not sure if they are still available. And more importantly I'm not sure how this would work with 2 switches controling the same light. Any ideas? |
