Hi Folks

A while back I reversed a door and now the switch is behind it. I've
been looking for a
wireless device that will enable me to mount a switch with a
transmitter in it and install a receiver unit where the old switch is.
I came across something that would do what I want (I think!)
http://doorchime.com/remotes-switches.htm but they are American style
switches and only available in the US.

Does anyone know where I can get one of these devices in the UK from.

Cheers

AJ

Do you have a neutral connection at the old switch? I suspect that that
American device (and any UK equivalent) would need one.

I've been looking for something like this recently. Found a few options
but none that are quite what I'm after.

B&Q have a couple of ranges - one by GET that has a remote dimmer (although
controlled by a remote - not a normal looking switch). This looks suspiciously
similar to the wickes own branded one (the wickes one is half the price...)

Page 32. One problem is I'm not sure they do them in a more traditional
white!

The other solution is has a switch that you mount somewhere, and a unit that
you hide in the back of the normal switch. They also have a unit that you
hide above the ceiling (or, a replacement rose). This is probably closer to
what you are after.

Have a look at

or if that doesn't work, try searching on www.diy.com for 5013529995134
or maybe one of 5013529994632 and a 5013529995066

More info and a forum if you have questions at http://www.homeeasy.eu/home.php

I cant use the switch unit as I need something that will fit in a 16mm deep
box (can't sink a deeper one due to steel conduit running behind :-/). The
GET ones are close but not available in white - the home easy (byron?) ones
don't quite have the options I want AFAICS. Be interested to know how people
have found these if they have any installed.

Oh, one thing that might be an issue - a lot of these can't be used with CFL
lamps if that is a problem. They allow a small amount of current to leak
through the bulb to power themselves as there isn't (usually) a neutral
at the switch. Also, many of them are dimmers so wouldn't work anyway.

Would this pair do?

Other devices are available in the range - e.g. dimmers.

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.

Excellent, thanks to all of you for taking the time posting, one of
these will do the trick.
