Well it was fate, my phone sent me a notificiation today saying 33% off Hive. Clicked on it and John Lewis were doing the Hive + Install for £179 (with delivery). I'm a bit of an amazon addict so thought I'd check if they have it on offer too, low and behold Amazon are doing the Hive + Install...

Right, after some reading I get you. Could I not use a battery power RF switch then for Volt-Free switching? Edit: Gentle reminder, idiot here.
