thanks - got the above yesterday. Just need to figure out the wiring and fit it later on

anyone know if 1.5mm twin earth will suffice (i believe it can for lighting), or do i need 2.5mm?

This reply amused me :) I'm a gadget geek but also rather enjoy saving lecky where I can. Can't imagine it's going to use much at being on standby listening for a signal mind. That said, I might leave for Screwfix soon

Cheers, I might give that a go rather than cable from one side of the garage to the other. Will check backplate first

Sounds like it's the least complicated. Just noticed your link has 2 switches and 1 receiver. Could I not just fit that and get rid of the current switch?

See wiring below. Poor spider seen better days

Sorry @pete01 - edited my reply above as noticed it was you that sent the link to the exact wireless switch I am looking to get. So i tweaked it to suit that. Will post pic of wiring now

I literally just want to know if the receiver in the link you have pasted could connect to the switch I have already. So i can use both the original switch and the wireless one. Will post a pic of the wiring soon

it's a hard wired light in our garage going to a single gang switch. I'm looking to add another switch (ideally wireless) to the setup

I do, yes. But a lot of them (the one above included) use an RF signal to communicate

Sorry I should have mentioned that this is what I was referring to by wireless receiver In fact, this exact one. Hoping I could splice into the current switch and connect it to this, so both switch and receiver are live

will check it today and see how it's wired. I know the house in approx 30 years old, so has a slightly older loop setup with older wiring

thought about that and I'm tempted. Bit more faff, so just wanted to rule out a wireless option if it wouldn't work. I suspect I would need 'just' need to tap into the existing switch and add add the receiver into there, so both switch and receiver are live - but was hoping for confirmation

Hi I have an led batten light in our garage controlled by 1 switch near the main door. Would really like to add a second switch on the other side of the garage, where the second door is. Could I connect a wireless receiver to the existing switch somehow (then mount the wireless switch next to...

Hi all I have 4 60cm 4w LED lights (Ikea RATIONELL) connected under the kitchen counter tops. 3 of them are linked, the 4th is across the room and the cable goes into the wall. I can see two cables (plus our main power supply going into 1 switch under the counter tops, so they are all...

interesting. Is it more for looks then?

We have a standard conservatory 3x3. Just wondering how much of a difference a dwarf wall makes, when it comes to heat insulation and strength for roofing? Thanks

anymore thoughts on this? WOuld like to add a base for the shed soon.. so will need to think about either leveling it (adding more MOT on this side or adding drainage

Right next to front door

Just replaced an old mechanical stat with a Honeywell dt4. It's so much louder than the previous one and ive read that other Honeywell's are similar. Would lnt be too bothered but it likes to come on and off an awful lot around set temps to keep it there Anyone aware of a quieter digital wired...
